    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    They'll claim to. It can also be, buying Korean equipment, made in Poland. With buying tanks, selecting the industrial offset far more strategically should be the name of the game. Ammo manufacturing makes sense. We have more money than manpower, and loading a warehouse for ourselves and for...

    Both of them are. For youth, it is about not being able to easily discern ages, so revenue leakage plus the UK 'hoody' problem-teenagers doing teenager stuff that is seen as disruptive.

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    A fee isn’t how I would characterize it — it’s capitalizing a bank. We could do the same thing directly via EDC & CCC but for partner projects why not make it easier and have only one financing mechanism? The UK is in a bad financial situation. I’m not sure it is Canada in the early 90s but...

    A place to start is energy intensive, feedstock intensive processes. Like this: https://canadiandefencereview.com/eurenco-and-nalagx-agree-to-exclusive-negotiations-for-manufacturing-energetic-materials-in-canada/

    To go further off track, usually routes I look at have too many turns, but this one would be fun! MRU to a new 50th Ave station. Could likely do the trip in 20-25 minutes.

    This looks to avoid a quarry that was then a landfill of some sort. It is zoned "Special Purpose - City and Regional Infrastructure". A sanitary main built in 2021 goes around it instead of across, adding distance to its run. I have to think there is a good reason.

    I don't think the south bit has changed much if at all, has it? From 2017: More: more detailed profiles and maps available in the attachments here: https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=cbf8472a-2b7f-420b-9ac7-e3a308214b1b&Agenda=PostMinutes&lang=English#49544

    The USA is totally capable of producing more ships in that class. It will have trouble with the mythical 'golden fleet' ship of 14,000 tonnes displacement with a substantial arsenal of 2500 km+ range missiles.

    Alberta contracted for Bitumen Royalty In Kind Barrels on Energy East to underpin the contract as a take or pay customer. Same on various versions of KXL. Energy East wouldn't have been launched if Alberta hadn't contracted. Energy East Keystone XL I'd expect a combination of that, plus an...

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    It really depends on what we want them to do. I don't see any need. In a pinch has plenty of capacity to bring along containerized box launchers, integrate it into the CMS 330, target cue from a data link with data from RadarSAT 3 or an Aurora or P8 and launch at a ship from 200+ km. When in the...

    The corvette at least now is slated to have similar ice breaking capabilities as the DeWolfes, and if it is that, the same hull if not the same ship can play the light ice breaking role on the great lakes, st lawrence and gulf. As the navy and coast guard work more closely. Designing isn't...

    I'm not sure the river is exactly ours to sell. We could sell the adapted design along with BAE I guess? I doubt the USA would want to build elsewhere, and they don't lack capacity for that size of vessel, nor do we have apparent capacity to build more.

    This already exists in a well enough way. This is happening. A close to that is slowly happening. Its expensive and unless tolled, BC isn't rich enough to do a lot of it all at once, nor does traffic require it. Main goal is increasing reliability.

    Will be interesting to see if that trails off now that TMX can supply much more of the volume that Washington State refiners want. Some of it could be market clearing: Sask light barrels not having a path west on pipelines.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I think we mostly agree, but the program has to be designed to fix Toronto and Vancouver, despite the refusal of local governments in BC and the local governments and province in Ontario to fix their major problems. Alberta is along for the ride and the only result is more freedom and even...

    this is the exact opposite of the program design. Won't relitigate this here, but the number of units built in a given year doesn't demonstrate success or failure of regulatory reform.

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    It is a weird technicality, but it wasn't a request to the government nor a government decision not to fund. A committee of the legislature. The speaker would then directly recommend the spending to the legislature during supplemental estimates, not the government on behalf of the crown.
