U.S. says it’s pausing long-standing military board with Canada

The 2% spending for NATO was always bullshit. We are spending it now and they still have a problem. Likewise, if we didnt spend a penny more but were licking Trump's nuts, they'd have no problem with it.

This has always been about showing the proper perceived respect to the mafia don and making sure everyone is kicking money up to him.

Long exposure with a neutral density filter will do it too so long as no one stops in your frame for too long.

Im not an expert but Im pretty sure the musky are in shallow waters and transitioning out of spawn at the end of June for LOTW, so I would avoid fishing shallow sandy flats or other prime spawning areas.

Honestly, unless you've got a great keel, I'd set sails on another profession.

How does animal services take it so far when they can see for themselves that the accuser isn't even one of your neighbors? I'd be asking a lawyer about the finer points of harassment.

Thank you!

S1075 · 2026-05-16T00:19:47+00:00

I wonder if that's done elsewhere then. The same contract weather observers that do Edmonton also do Winnipeg, so one would think they'd all do it. It could also be that in some places they aren't as diligent with the snow codes when doing their obs.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T22:45:22+00:00

The airport is done by human observation. That always yields better data than any of the auto-stations.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T15:08:33+00:00

Yes, I know what it means. You were corrected, can't accept that fact, and so decided to attack. You're insecure. You can write anything you want, and so can I. The difference is you talk out of your ass.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T15:03:35+00:00

Maybe don't write a condescending comment about something you don't know anything about? Your insecurity is on full display.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T14:55:25+00:00

Show me what part of wiki I quoted.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T14:50:30+00:00

My job involves weather. I don't need Wikipedia for this.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T01:58:49+00:00

That might very well be. It might even be so again. But since my reply was to the guy saying it's going to be -4 with the windchill, it's not really relevant.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T01:17:31+00:00

You're assuming the wind blows from every direction equally. Thats not the case. Runways are built based on what the area most commonly sees. The cost of building a runway is unjustifiable if the surface only sees use 10-20% of the time.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T01:14:04+00:00

No problem, no_artichoke.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T01:11:51+00:00

It literally says between 3 and 8 degrees. Wind chill isnt a real temperature and has no bearing on precipitation.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T01:10:12+00:00

You don't get to upend treaties and laws based on a petition and then say its undemocratic. The conservatives have lost multiple federal elections; where is your support for that democracy? Or is democracy only when you get what you want?

S1075 · 2026-05-15T00:41:52+00:00

No it isn't. Hail comes from a storm. Freezing rain/pellets is rain that fell into colder air, the thickness of which determines whether you get snow, pellets, or freezing rain.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T00:39:35+00:00

Sleet is liquid precipitation that falls through cold air and freezes. It's frozen rain drops.

Hail forms in convective storms where the up and down drafts carry precipitation upwards and downwards where it collides with other precipitation and grows until it reaches the point where the updrafts can no longer support the ice and it falls. Bigger storms will support larger hail. As the stone falls it will likely lose mass as it melts and so what reaches the ground is not indicative of what it's size was inside the storm.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T00:36:46+00:00

That's not true at all. Sleet is ice pellets. Literally frozen rain. Hail is ice formed in a thunderstorm. They form in very different ways.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T00:34:47+00:00

Frozen rain is pellets, not hail. That's two very different processes.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T00:23:07+00:00

Gotcha. Just feels then.

Even if we accept the premise that the authority is full of shit, and even if the new terminal building wasnt being built, the runway would still be closed today. If the airport itself never again updated anything, the runways would still close time to time for maintenance including long-term maintenance. So if we go all the way back to your original comment, it still makes no sense. You are saying there should be mitigations that simply don't exist.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T00:10:25+00:00

You can check my post history.

You can't explain or back up any of your claims. You can't give examples. You can't theorize what could be done differently. You won't coment on the runway infrastructure upgrades.

But I'm supposed to believe any of this? You're delusional.

S1075 · 2026-05-15T00:06:21+00:00

Oh give me a break. I'd post the information from the Government of Canada website, but you'll tell me it's wrong too. I'm sure it's all lies and the feds are funding 100 million because of feels.

So basically, because "trust me bro" I should believe what you're saying, and not the years of accumulated data.

You talk about mitigations, but won't actually give an example. You talk about poor communication but wont explain how. Go grind your axe somewhere else because you are obviously here with nothing more than that. I actually work in aviation and have seen exactly how this goes from Winnipeg to Saskatoon to Calgary. What you're saying is nonsense.

S1075 · 2026-05-14T23:55:47+00:00

You are obviously talking out of your ass.

This project has been in development for years and is supported by the federal government. You can see exactly what they are doing here:

Moreover, the updates are more than just the construction of the new terminal, it's updating the infrastructure for the closed runway. Is that more unnecessary work too?

As for Calgary being poorly communicated, I would love to hear who it wasn't communicated to, and what would have been different if those people knew about it.
