    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    You can see in this drone video that the bridge has minimal protection up and downstream by two small circular piles. Very inadequate. I don't doubt that during the lawsuits, it will surface that a report was done about the inadequacies of these protection piles and a recommendation and design...

    "Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are" (NatPost/Postmedia)

    That's what they believed in North and West Van, but the fallout from the closure of the Kits Coast Guard base and the appalling way they handled it, cost them two seats that they might have held unto. The CPC are utterly bad liars, the Libs are excellent liars telling people what they want to...

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    The same was done to the bridges in Vancouver circa 1990's to accommodate for the larger ships where the upper bow extends beyond bulbous bow.

    "Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are" (NatPost/Postmedia)

    I think a lot of the newer MP's go to Ottawa with a belief to make the system better, but are quickly demoralized and kept in their place by both the Party and by the bureaucracy. If you want to get a seat on a committee that counts, you must show the party that your loyalty is to them first. I...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    The firestorm idea was meant to kill and drive away the workforce and sap the morale of the public. The proponents of strategic bombing were not really deterred by the estimated civilian causalities in either Germany or Japan.

    "Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are" (NatPost/Postmedia)

    I have personally seen PS fight to release documents for a ATIP that management does not want to release. There are a lot of PS staff up to program manager level that take pride in running a honest, fiscally responsible and open program. I have only seen that level of commitment at the EX level...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Thanks for the correction, I went looking for ice class information on them before posting and could not find it, just vague statements like "Better than existing" so I had to make some assumptions which were too conservative. I am really pleased as PC2 is a big leap over PC 4

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Yea the Polar Class are likley to be PC 3-4, the Mediums likley PC 4. Challenge that our Mediums have to serve in the Arctic and then do river icebreaking in the winter, two very different ice beasts. Generally, open water icebreakers favour horizontal strength and river longitudinal strength.

    Baltimore Bridge Collapse

    I have done it in rivers, sucks because of the lack of visibility and the constant current. Thankfully we trained in those conditions.

    It's very likley his family benefited from the charity scandal and he is likley guaranteed a few well paying board member spots as a reward for his loyalty to certain groups/individuals once he is out of politics.

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    Actually in 1948 the only army that came out of that with clean hands were the Egyptians, who actually protected Jewish settlers and prisoners from palestinian mobs.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Those MPV's will replace the 1100 Class at 4660DWT and Arctic Class 2 (PC-5ish) with a 8550DWT vessel that is PC 4. It's a toss up whether the AOP's or the 1100 are better ice breakers, they are close in classification, but the 1100's have a ice knife, but the AOP's are newer and their hulls...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    Not to mention how many time Israelis have taken their own government to court when they got to heavy handed with the WB Palestinians. Now how many times have the citizens of Gaza taken hams to court and lived long enough to see the case?

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    The palestinians want all of the land that makes up Israel. They will not stop till every Jew is gone or dead. They have stated this again and again and have done so since the creation of the State of Israel. They also tried to overthrow the government of Jordan (which has a population of 2/3rd...

    The logging road network is for the most part owned by the province, they lease the usage rights to companies, who agree to maintain them. A good chunk of the logging roads are maintained by the Province and that is to allow access to the cutblocks. Generally the logging companies build the spur...

    Commander of 8 Wing Trenton arrested, charged in hunting incident

    My biggest regret is not buying a crate of 12 Mosin-Nagants rifles for $1200 when I had the chance.
