wyly

seriously, praise harper?... he was embarrassed into doing this...he wouldn't have done if could have got away with it, he doesn't want this hanging around his neck...

it's gone, done like dinner... the conservatives are backing away looking for a way out to save face...this golden plated pig ain't gonna fly...

in other words you got nothing to offer except a picture of a book...nothing that disputes the brief historical outline already supplied in the thread...

Topaz- makes sense it was hoped that every nato member would buy in, but nato consisting of small countries range isn't as big an issue with numerous emergency landing sites a single engine plane may work, ...but canada is huge landing strips in the north are few and a single engine is risky, the engine quits there is no spare to get you back...the russians operating in similar conditions to us are developing a twin engine plane with double the range of the F-35's...

checking prices I think it would come down to these two...the Rafale 90-124 million, super hornet 66.9 million, in my un-expert opinion the Rafale is the better plane whether it's worth the extra cost I couldn't say...then there are the russian options, why not, they build good planes and have similar operating conditions as canada.... eliminate the typhoon 150-180 million more than the F35 although it appears to be a superior aircraft...

wooo hooo!...well this should kill the other thread at 249 pages! now we can switch the topic to more sensible options, super hornet, typhoon, or rafale...maybe the russians have something to offer at a great price...

maybe it was all setup, the stupidity of putting a child at risk does seem obvious to everyone here...

generally extreme conservatives are paranoid, they see reds under beds everywhere...

mining companies are notoriously irresponsible give them any slack and they'll destroy everything near the mine, they're only responsible when they have rules and regulations to follow...How about the Inuit move down south where the jobs are...like everyone else in the country when there's no work where you live, it's time to move...it sucks but that's reality the work isn't coming to you...

timing is best as it is, the American system can result in a lame duck presidency, something to avoid...but we should change our FPTP (everyone's favourite election topic ) to a PR electoral system....

watching it I never detected any extra embellishment, it is brief historical overview and accurate...the fact that it was made by a Jewish peace organization backs it as being objective and fair...

an independent general contractor and relevant sub-trades on site inspection...

that is the basic story there isn't anything one sided about it, that's what happened there is no alternate history...you wanna go into details we can talk about Palestinian rockets and terrorists and terrorist leaders, but then we could also talk about Israeli ethnic cleansing, terrorists, terrorist leaders and bombings... if you have a alternate history version that differs feel free to educate us...

which brings me back to poor information, you're making judgements without the facts... just hearsay by people who may be out of touch and ill-informed, teachers are not qualified to make judgements on how much construction procedures should cost and neither is Joe Public..here I am someone who is qualified and I wouldn't/can't because I don't know the details, a price and a very brief job description tells me nothing about the legitimacy of the cost....the costs may be out of control or they may be within reason no one has provided evidence of either scenario, hearsay just doesn't cut it...

and offering a bias is wrong...it's vital to be a as unbiased as possible...

the owner is well off and retired, there are more important things in life than greed and profit....could it have done better? that's hard to say, it had work when many others went bankrupt in tough times, it always had the manpower to handle the multiple corporate clients and still provide excellent service and quality... if it had only a small select crew it wouldn't had as many clients to keep that crew working if they had work stoppages, without constant work crew would have gone elsewhere to find work...

yes it is historically (simplified) accurate it's about as unbiased as it can be...it was made by a jewish organization so I can't wait until peeves claims it's anti-Semitic...

you could've could watched the video as they were baking...only 6 minutes, less time than it takes to boil an egg...

well where mrs wyly works they have union based "in house" maintenance work crew but they also contract work to outside bidders...and installing a pencil sharper I'd charge $150, that's 2- 2.5 hours of my day-travel time, fuel, picking up sharpener, install, warranty...

wowzer that was dumb question...

and this is really due to the american electoral system, 700,000 jews in Florida of coarse Presidential candidates cater to them, they could be the difference between winning and losing the presidency, the electoral system gives them political clout way far in-excess of their actual numbers...

wow how brainwashed are you?..there was indeed mention of Palestinian violence but you're so indoctrinated you skipped right past that, you must've had your fingers buried in your ears up to the knuckle...you only hear what you want to hear, only what meets your preconceived/conditioned views...I know this may come as a surprise to you as you've obviously led a sheltered life but there are always two sides to every story....

I was thinking the same thing...

I don't the situation there so it's hard for me to comment, but unions workers get paid the same whether they work for public facilities of private operations...so a union electrician will get the same pay working in the school or in mine...opening up bids to other union companies would be fair...non union company bids would need to be carefully monitored and kept to the same standards because they tend to take shortcuts which isn't acceptable in public facilities, particularly schools ...

yup, my son's jr high has a carpenter teaching an IA class... I did elite coaching for 25 years so you bet I can teach a phys-ed class as well as a phys-ed teacher...and I'm sure there are number of electricians that could handle a science class...
