but the difference between Canadian and European eggs and milk is much smaller than the difference between Canadian and European cheeses. Both in taste and cost. Guess it depends where you are buying the cheese I guess. We buy a lot of European cheese here, it doesn't cost much more than domestic, ...

We’re really going to sacrifice aluminum, steel, lumber, autos and all the rest to keep the food cartels going? [/i] Anybody care to answer the question in the last sentence? Sure. Somebody has confused a bunch of issues. Lumber is not part of any recent discussions, was subject to the softwood lum...

All the schools in my area on the West Coast have waiting lists for new students. They is still a significant instructor shortage seriously ??!! I only see a overwhelming new instructors and not enough students. You may want to check the date of the post you are responding to, this is an old thread...

All we have to do is get rid of the dairy board(to the benefit of almost all canadians) and he can claim a wind while we all actually win. Especially is we do free trade within Canada and build a trans-Canada pipeline. So folks believe anything they are told, he whips up Americans ranting on our sy...

still trying to understand why you folks are going on about scoopers for a job of moving people...

Does hydro use the dash for bombing ? Or for moving people around ? If the former, they probably want more than a cgi simulation like the videos in this thread, probably want an actual airplane that can do the job. If the latter, why are folks thinking about bombers ?

I thought I read big corporations own a big chunk of the milk production, Dunno how it is out east, but out west, that's not the case. The dairy farms tend to be family operations, most milking well under 200 head of cattle. The dairy processors, that's another issue, many of the once abundant smal...

Most of the folks going on about the dairy dont understand the supply management system, and think it's all about the $$$. It is not, like the name suggests, it's about managing supply, to ensure a consistent supply at a consistent price, year round. It's more about making sure young children have a...

A dairy cow quota is worth what, $25k? So $2.5M is cattle assets + land + equipment +$250/year NET. Sounds like they're doing alright. (Not begrudging farmers at all, but they're certainly not living in poverty.) You write that as if the land + equipment is nothing. Typical barn to host 100 dairy c...

I think we should dismantle the milk marketing board so all Canadians benefit(except for the few benefitting from this) and give trump his win and we win as well. Hmm, why go after the dairy folks, instead, give the win on cabotage, it'll be a bigger win for consumers, let American airlines cream o...

I didn’t look at the video & yes there are corporate farms with their finger in more than the dairy industry. One could use Onex owning airlines as a similar example. Q. Who are we subsidizing with supply management? Market Share of Dairy Processors in Canada (Estimated based on milk processing cap...

Without the appropriate experience in the airline operating environment, you should refrain from analyzing any of the events that lead up to the crash!

You are responding to a poorly trained chat bot that's been used for years to generate gibberish that is _almost_ coherent.

ahh for the good old days of '26Alpha' at YVR. I've used it a number of times back in the day, cleared for takeoff, from the taxiway...

What are you the mayday police? Rejecting a takeoff in a large aircraft can lead to brake overheating and fire. The fire trucks are ready to respond and check brake temps with infrared devices. While that is true of a high speed reject, these were not high speed rejects. surely the crew was compete...

Going 100+ kts down the runway and slamming on the brakes isn't a good time to be diagnosing an issue and deciding if it warrants the fire trucks. It's easier to cancel the trucks after stopping and taxi back to the gate than it is to explain why one delayed calling a Mayday after something more da...

So yes, when it comes to how hiring works at the bottom end of the industry, I do know a bit about it, and have some experience in the process. And I do find it interesting, not much where rookie and I agree, he seems to think anybody that went to school is dumb as a post, but on this subject we se...

That’s just fear mongering, under the current environment can you honestly believe that a conservative government would give an advantage to an American company? It'll all be about what happens at a negotiating table, and yes, I do believe that a conservative government will sacrifice the airlines ...

Did you start your own operation risking millions of dollars? If not, why share your opinion if you deem it worthless anyway? Been there, done that. FYI, doesn't take millions of dollars to start a company in aviation. Not sure about prices today, but back when we went down this road, the first dec...

Also, who would want to operate here? It would be a money-losing proposition. Actually, it wouldn't. What you will see is an operation like Delta switch up a few pairings. Instead of SLC->YVR->SLC, that pairing will become SLC->YVR->YYZ with a layover to YYZ->YVR->SLC. Then another would become SLC...

I can't think of many other professions where you spend four years in school only to end up in a completely unrelated role unless it's by choice. Except one doesn't spend 4 years in school to get a CPL, heck I had mine before I graduated from high school. Flying is very much like the trades, get th...

Date: september 9 2023. I suspect that position will likely have changed based on recent events. It's been part of the conservative official policy documents for a long time. Feel free to be delusional and think 'they wouldn't actually do that', but one only needs to look south and see how fast a n...

Is this how evacuations are supposed to happen? Looking at the video, seems there was a significant fire on the pavement under the plane. My first thought before I read what happened, it was a fuel spill that ignited. Is possible they couldn't use the slide because it would drop folks right into th...

Could’ve had a pipeline to sell our oil to other markets, libs screwed that one up too. Yes, terrible, when it was on the verge of being cancelled, they bought it, finished it, and it now ships oil off the west coast. Listening to you folks, apparently the pipeline that was cancelled by the America...

Social pressures make a huge difference though. I see you still haven't addressed the drastic gender reversal when it comes to interest in horses. Have you ever attended a rodeo ? Ever been out in cattle country ? Get out into areas where horses are working animals, you wont see that diference. But...

If Trump leverages the GPS systems we’ll have bigger issues to worry about. The American GPS system is not the only constellation of nav satellites up there, for exactly that reason. If the aviation industry has not embraced the use of more than one, that's just more short sightedness mixed with a ...
