Once again....you convolute but hey, that is to be expected LOL Liar.... well most Canadians believe he is doing a great job. Suck fro you to be a LOSER on the LOSERS side LOL Less than a year after the 2025 federal election, the minority Liberal government led by Mark Carney continues to strengthen its position in public opinion. As the Prime Minister Carney advances diplomatic initiatives on the international stage and works to stabilize the economic climate at home, the latest Léger data shows a continued rise in both satisfaction and approval ratings. Results indicate that 59% of respondents say they are satisfied with the government, while 61% approve of the Prime Minister’s performance. https://leger360.com/in-the-news-carney-liberals-climb-49-percent-14-points-lead-leger-march-202/ Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.

Goddess Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 Here's another $200 million grift to "guarantee our sovereign access to space". Ottawa puts $200M into space launch pad in Nova Scotia | CBC News First of all, this company, Maritime Launch Services, has been trying to get this off the ground for 10 years. They received $10 million last Oct. Export Development Canada gives $10 million credit to Maritime Launch Services, will the public wind up on the hook? - Halifax Examiner Yet, according to Stephen Matier, president and CEO of Maritime Launch Services, this largesse from EDC “marks another major step forward for Maritime Launch and Canada’s growing commercial space sector.” One might ask what previous “major steps” were. The original environmental approval back in 2019 for a private space launch site for Ukrainian rockets (that don’t exist and probably never will), and a maximum of eight launches a year, which was to have been built that year with its first launch in 2021? The construction of a small concrete pad and a gravel road to the site? The launch of a student rocket, part of which went missing? In the past nine years, since MLS CEO Stephen Matier first showed up in Nova Scotia from New Mexico, U.S. with his big plans to launch Ukrainian-made rockets from Canso (which have since then been ditched), Geddes and others in the community have expended enormous amounts of their own time and energy doing crucial research into the company, its plans, its finances, and its credibility. Concerned citizens have spent countless hours of their own time poring over freedom of information documents, and questioning credulous governments that heap praise and promises of public dollars on MLS, ignoring all the red flags that concerned citizens uncover. 1 Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~
Goddess Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 The citizen fact-checkers on the above spaceport, report this: The harsh reality of Spaceport Nova Scotia and Maritime Launch Services ($MAXQ/$MAXQF) is that this is yet another classic case of Canadian industrial policy chasing a dream in a brutally competitive global space sector — with taxpayers fronting most of the risk while private shareholders (and insiders) pocket any upside if things somehow work out. Here's the unvarnished breakdown as of mid-March 2026: - Still zero orbital launches, years behind schedule — The company has managed two suborbital demos (university/student-level in 2025, T-Minus Barracuda in Nov 2025), with more small Barracuda flights planned for May/June and late 2026. Orbital? The original "first in 2026" target has quietly slipped — now eyeing 2027 at best, per CEO statements and local reports. No hardware has flown to orbit from Canadian soil yet, despite a decade+ of hype starting around 2014–2015. - Business model is subsidy-dependent theater — It's an "airport for rockets" leasing pads/infrastructure. Revenue? Almost none historically — filings show ongoing net losses (millions annually), negative equity in stretches, tiny cash on hand vs. liabilities. The $200M DND lease (~$20M/year over 10 years) is the lifeline: government as anchor tenant guaranteeing cash flow to finish pads and ops. Without it, the project likely stalls or folds like past failed Canadian space ventures (e.g., early 2000s attempts or even echoes of Spar Aerospace's subsidy-fueled decline). Parallel supports (CITC tax credits up to ~$30M+, SIF ~$13M conditional, EDC $10M credit) are reimbursements/grants — non-repayable if milestones hit, but no public equity, royalties, or dividends back to taxpayers. - Private upside, public downside — MDA's $10M equity stake (Nov 2025) got board rights and validation; Reaction Dynamics invested as customer-partner. Stock has mooned on news bursts (1,000%+ in bursts over 1–2 years, trading ~$0.30–$0.45 range recently), rewarding speculators and early backers. But dilution has been brutal (massive share issuances from debt conversions, low-price raises). If orbital cadence never materializes (e.g., users stick with SpaceX rideshares, Rocket Lab, or emerging competitors), the site becomes an expensive, underused rural pad — taxpayers eat tens/hundreds of millions in sunk grants/loans/lease payments for "sovereignty" and a few dozen jobs in Guysborough. - Local and expert skepticism persists — Community opposition (since 2019) flags environmental risks (wetlands, noise, potential fuel spills/debris from failures), proximity to fishing/tourism, and "snake-oil" promises. Forums like NASA Spaceflight have called it undercapitalized, debt-heavy, and hype-driven. Even neutral reports note chronic delays (permitting, suppliers, funding). Broader Canadian space efforts (e.g., NordSpace delays, other provincial pushes) show the same pattern: big talk, slow walk, heavy public money. - Geopolitical/national-security fig leaf — The DND deal sells "sovereign access" amid Arctic threats and U.S. reliance fears. Fine in theory — but Canada could buy rides on U.S./allied launches far cheaper/reliably. This feels more like rural economic development pork + defense optics than a viable commercial play. If launches stay low-cadence (defense isn't high-volume), ROI stays negative. Bottom line: This isn't failing spectacularly tomorrow — momentum from the lease, LOIs (e.g., INNOSPACE March 2026 for HANBIT hosting), hires, and suborbital progress keeps it limping forward. But the model is weak, execution slow, market crowded, and taxpayer exposure high with zero direct return mechanism. History is littered with similar subsidy-chasing space infrastructure plays that underdeliver or pivot quietly while costs mount. If orbital doesn't ramp meaningfully by 2028–2030, expect "strategic success" spin while the public quietly absorbs another boondoggle. Harsh? Yes. Realistic? Absolutely. (or more likely, a very expensive pad gathering moss.) 1 Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~

ExFlyer Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 (edited) 18 hours ago, Reg Volk said: Carney just plain sucks. The latest polling numbers are painting a very difficult picture for Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives. Two major surveys released in the past 48 hours show Mark Carney's Liberals holding a commanding double-digit national lead — Abacus Data putting Liberals up by 11 points and Liaison Strategies reporting a 14-point gap nationally. It is not just the polls either. The Liberals now hold 170 seats in Parliament — just two short of a majority — after another opposition MP crossed the floor. Seat projection site 338Canada is now forecasting the Liberals could surpass 200 seats based on current trends. Canadians were told this government was vulnerable. Right now, it is the opposition that looks lost Edited March 18 by ExFlyer Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.
