    Cost of housing in Canada

    No. I'm saying that when conditions get miserable enough people vote with their feet and do the other thing. 18th century Scottish farmhouse. No floors. No windows. No chimneys. One fire. Smoke leaking through the turf roof. Animals at the back end of the building. Everybody, man...

    Cost of housing in Canada

    They took advantage of the surplus of available workers to pay less, and treat people poorly... Which mill owners? The ones that built the model factories and supplied clean homes for people that grew up living under the same roof as their cattle and goats? Or the ones that had people...

    Our North - SSE Policy Update Megathread

    Where do those Norwegians find the money to buy all that stuff? I mean what do they have to sell beyond fish, oil and gas, electricity and technology. It's not as if they design and build their own military solutions....

    Or they could make like their ancestors and tell the politicians to flock off and go build their own lives in their own communities. The models available are First Nations communities and religious communities ie Hutterite colonies. In addition there are Metis communities.... And what...

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Swiss engineers were consulted on the Trans Canada in BC in the 1950s. They recommended an extensive programme of tunnelling. The government of BC opted to bang some logs into the side of the mountains and stick some asphalt on top. .... The Faroes comprise 18 islands in the North Atlantic...

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    I was thinking the helicopters from the south would follow their current basing and flight operations but with the benefit of 6 to 8 mobile bases from which they could operate and extend their range. For example, in a Majaid(?) event, assuming that we were maintaining 3 or 4 AOPS in the...

    GBAD - The return of 'FOBS'

    From my pew I am not seeing a difference between countering Group 4 and 5 UAVs and countering Fixed and Rotary wing aircraft and cruise missiles. Equally, if you can counter 122 mm rockets, 152mm artillery and 81mm mortar bombs then you can probably counter Group 1, 2 and 3 UAVs.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    I am referring to the state by state changes. I differentiate between the hyperbolic fraudulent used to gin up crowds and working the rules to advantage. The Democrats worked the rules to their best advantage. My opinion is the Trump also attempted to work the rules to his best advantage...

    Cost of housing in Canada

    I graduated from Guelph in 1978. One of the girls in my residence commuted from her New Territories cook and chauffeur to her residence half a dozen times a semester. Anything is possible if cash.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    I would argue that the rules did change. My analogy is that if next year's Super Bowl is to be played on the 4 Down system then the correct time to announce that is the day after this year's Super Bowl, with the agreement of all parties. The wrong time to be changing the rules is at the coin...

    Cost of housing in Canada

    It will solve the problem for some people. If those people adopt that option then it will tend to relieve the pressure on others that can't, or don't want to live that life. Another solution that I have encountered along the way is people living the gig lifestyle and prospering. In the oil...

    GBAD - The return of 'FOBS'

    Fair to guess that ultimately an Air Defence umbrella is going to have to accommodate everything form C-RAM (counter-rockets, artillery and mortars) through the full range of UAVs (Groups 1 to 5), through cruise and ballistic missiles, to helicopters and fixed wing aircraft (often...
