Anyone who argues that a nuclear reactor=nuclear weapon is a loving MORON, full stop.

However, many nuclear powered vessels carry nuclear weapons, which is why New Zealand won't allow US ships to dock there.

lol at anyone trying to say that our hilariously expensive rail link from downtown to pearson is good, ESPECIALLY compared to the euros or Asians.

I actually cannot name a major city outside of Canada that has worse connectivity from major airports to city centers. Tokyo makes Toronto look like a gongshow. Toronto is 20-30 years behind Seoul/Beijing. Even the Paris system, reeking like piss as it does, is better.

Luxury Yacht, I hear you on the manufacturing thing. I happen be retardedly lucky to have gotten in with a company that not only treats their employees well, but has worldwide recognition as being a leader in their field, and is actively bringing work back into North America from Europe and Asia. It can really be a wasteland, especially in automotive. Medical is picking up quite nicely though.

Yeah it's because they've literally invested the future of their company into the C-Series and are now realizing "um I guess everyone wants boeing/airbus WHOOPS" because of the literally decades of maintenance experience and the existing logistics train of spares and experienced pilots on 7XX platforms as opposed to starting from scratch with a notoriously iffy company on the QA side.

Having an additional fare supplement to go to the airport is pretty normal. It's generally less than $10, though!

Why can't there be a decent high-speed link to Pearson? All those cities with high-speed links or metro links to their respective airports were established when those links were built, just the same as Toronto.

Because CN Rail are a bunch of fuckos.

I really really really wish the Feds would nut up WRT CN Rail screwing up all hopes for effective commuter train service, and just appropriate the lines. Federal funds went into building them, after all.

Yes I know that would be "bad" with regards to rail transport but loving deal with it.

It's already happened, basically. I was at a new year's party at a friend's cottage and out of the 16 people there, I'd say half of them had weed of some kind with them. These are all young professionals as well, lawyers, finance types.

Edibles, weed chocolate, the ol' smokable variety, everything was there. I don't partake anymore but most did.

Thankfully not mine. We tend to see where the tide is going and adjust accordingly. New sales dropping off? Focus on refurbishment. Buy smaller companies making speciality products and use our industrial capability to increase production. Spend a boatload on R&D to break into new markets. It's pretty nice to work for a Canadian company that doesn't rest on its laurels and actually innovates.
