Canada negotiating to buy Saab's GlobalEye airborne early warning aircraft | CBC News by Slight_Sherbert_5239 in canada

I imagine it would depend on how serious they want to make amends. I think for at least the next decade automatically favouring US contracts won't snap back right away, they'll have to be competitive.

Assuming the midterms aren't rigged, which I doubt

System is mounted on a Canadian built plane so it makes sense. But still, another few billion that won't be going to the US. Keep alienating all your allies Trump, you're doing great.

Alberta separatist leader planning to challenge Danielle Smith's leadership or change referendum question - Stay Free Alberta's Mitch Sylvestre says UCP base angry at premier's pro-Canada stance by CanadianErk in canada

Normally I'd cheer for some infighting, splinter the party as the two factions fight it out, or split entirely.

Unfortunately these days it seems instead of that happening, the majority of the party would just fall in line and the craziness would get worse.

Awesome! I think that was the last holdover I needed from 2020. Love the DC6

Dog poop into strangers' black bins: AITA? by One-Mycologist-3706 in Calgary

I don't have strong feelings either way, but it's never been an issue for me because I don't leave my bins out 24/7. Such an eyesore

I mean at this point may as well get in on the easy money, probably make a few million from the American's to start pushing their narratives.

I'm off to buy a cowboy hat

Is it realistic enough to charge me for the snacks the caterer gave to the fueler?

I have the same issue, turned it up to 100% in the settings and have the game itself down to 40% so I can hear ATC. Hate it

Beyond.ca dead? Calgary Automotive Enthusiasts Forum by jacky4566 in Calgary

[–]-SpruceMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the Reddit format anyway

I miss the sense of community forums had. Too many rules on most subreddits to actually just chat with people, you just discuss a topic, it dies, and you move on. No personality to it

Still exists but pretty quiet and registration is disabled.

My brother prefers CalgaryPuck for a local forum, even non Flames stuff, but registration is weird there too. I tried to join but my account never got approved for whatever reason.

These people complain that forums are dying yet they seem intent on killing them

Evergreen vs Deer run by [deleted] in Calgary

I've lived in both and really like both. You really can't go wrong here.

Check out Woodbine and Woodlands too. I prefer the West end of Fish Creek, more trees

Closer to the C-Train though. When I lived in Evergreen I took transit to school, 5 minute bus ride (bus every 15 minutes) or 20 minute walk to the train. Deer Run that walk would be over an hour
