    Donald & Elon are Breaking Up…

    Liberated from the constraints of his quasi-governmental job, Musk has tossed a powder keg into all these delicate deliberations to bring the disparate Republican factions into some kind of agreement – and it is not the first time. His criticism sank a government spending bill last year...

    Alberta GTFO?

    Western Canadians generally don’t wanna “pull out” of Canada, but a prophylactic would be in order, and consent from both parties would be a welcome change from the norm that we’ve come to accept. Beats Lorena Bobbet’ing away from the rest of Canada.

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    Coincidentally one of the generators we used when crushing diesel was an 18 L diesel, mated up to a genny in place of the transmission, with a control panel mounted behind the genny. That fit into the back third of a 53 foot trailer. Occasionally we’d have to do a cold start (+15°C) & empathy on...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Trump’s conversation with his Russian counterpart came the same day that Putin dismissed an offer from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for the two to meet for direct top-level negotiations to further talks to end the war, now in its fourth year of this three day war...

    Have to (or are suppose to) start somewhere, & diesel/electric tech is a known thing as opposed to, “just mandate it in and the technology will catch up, etc…” with magic batteries and so on…

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    I was being facetious. If you have to tow a great big diesel generator in combination with everything else that you’re towing., just to try to keep the batteries up on an electric tractor…just cut out the batteries. Half-breed like a locomotive being diesel electric...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will not immediately retaliate after U.S. President Donald Trump raised tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50 per cent, citing ongoing negotiations over a new trade and security deal with Washington. http://apple.news/A_JG6jnPHQmGMQL1cWCkVzg Speaking to...

    What if they use electric tractors and they towed behind them great big diesel generators to constantly recharge the batteries, in the silliness of…whatever…?

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Well, I’m assuming it’s a time span thing, and in the last four months, there hasn’t been time to completely switch the US to producing all of its own steel and aluminum, & Canada to producing all of its own armaments, etc…do you think I’m warm on this guess?

    "We can't ship at 50 per cent. Perhaps we can stockpile for a few days, but obviously we can't keep producing if one of our major markets is shuttered." http://apple.news/AxxyFEI3YTty3_YOZfYSFVA What & when is Trumps next flipflop on this?

    The Tarriff Hype.

    The president’s ability to unilaterally impose tariffs stands on shakier legal ground after a federal court last week knocked down many of his other duties put in place under an emergency law. His levies on metals were not subject to that ruling, however, and the president has sought to show...

    Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

    Well, it’s not budget day, or week, or month, or season, yet, still. (YouTube & Carney says he’ll ’take note’ of successful motion demanding spring budget) Is that…Alfred E Newman?

    Air (or Error?) Canada. Our National Carrier…

    Jill Rorabeck says she wishes she'd never turned to Canada's airline regulator to settle her dispute with Swoop Airlines (which is owned by WestJet). Not only did the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) side with the airline, Rorabeck can't even share the details of her dispute??? The...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    In Canada, if you’re not military or law-enforcement, transporting a firearm, loaded, that’s not in a case, and doesn’t have a trigger guard, is probably a spankable thing. No sense of humour for that apparently, unless…see above story.
