As long as they aren't the "welfare" version like we got when we bought the Cormorant....

Atleast it’s federal spending I can get behind, I wonder if they will be carbon taxed?
I've just read the federal government is waffling about meeting the GDP on military spending....there's a real shocker.......At

I've dealt with the DND procurement people...they are so far out of reality it is like an episode of the "Twilight Zone." Some of the junk they've bought over the years baffles me.
The best news is the government is giving themselves a raise today while introducing the carbon tax....At

No no no no! The liberal government says its net neutral! But hey they forgot to add that it is double taxed on gas and on natural gas (the gas Canadians physically can’t survive without), they also seem to forget EVERYTHING is transported by diesel and the consumer will get hit ten fold on everything they buy! But the liberal government think these businesses will eat the cost and not pass it on! So happy they are the minority.
I wonder if this is the result of arming civilians....you get poorly trained troops taking fire from what appears to be civilians....everyone then becomes a combatant as it is impossible to determine who isn't...the destruction I saw in the video is depictive of this sort of thing.
Well maybe this slaughter is the result of arming civilians but having the Russians on the ropes is also a result. Zelenskyy's choices were limited and he did what he had to do to save his country. On the other hand, is our reluctance to get involved to the level necessary to defeat the Russians just as much a factor in the death of civilians as Zelensky arming them? Besides, all those dead Russians are just conscripted civilians.
Zelenskyy said a few weeks ago that WW3 has already started and I'm starting to realize he is correct. Maybe this is the time to finish Putin off, while he is suffering through a seriously flawed strategic campaign in Ukraine.
Some big decisions need to be made right now. Putin has his back to the wall but that also means there is nothing holding him in check. If he is defeated in Ukraine he will lose power, I can't see him letting that happen.

Pictures of war and the effects from battle are not pretty...sadly civilians have always been the fall-out of battles fought in an urban setting....if pictures of the NATO battles fought in Iraq or Syria were plastered all over the media, people in NATO countries would be marching on their capitals in droves....
That being said, I would wager the Russian forces have either no ROEs or very poorly written ones along with poor training...they get into a panic when they go against better trained Ukrainian forces and probably close their eyes when pulling their triggers.
I agree, if the west escalates their response, I can see nuclear solutions being used due to the fact Putin and his military are no match for NATO and there is no way his ego can let him succumb to that fact. I can guarantee the US has more than a couple ICBM submarines sitting off the coast of Russia right now with orders to prepare to strike when called upon......and Russia knows this....
Your opinion still the same?
I hope you are right and the inverted yield curve of the last few days is just a false indicator.
It depends, the one below we also did the media center in the picture, including cabinetry and trim.. Very complex home, with a dedicated architect in a gated community with three golf courses. Big $$$
We do commercial and industrial also, but for our part those are the easy ones, with the occasional nice boardroom.
Around here those are few and far between. Not worth bothering with. I did a lot of pretty cool and challenging stuff when I was doing home studios, But I like bigger stuff:
You can't complain about inflation and the economy cooling off a bit.
Yikes!
Just to be clear, that's a nice house there and the craftsmanship appears to be really good. I actually think building something like that would be more fun than designing it.
What happens when the yield curve inverts, is the large institutional investors (your pension fund and 401k if you work for a reputable organization) start purchasing a lot of long term treasuries, as they fear recession is around the corner. (6 months or so)

Unfortunately, this is why the only solution here appears to be a military one. Europe can't just shut down and supply chains for that much oil and gas take years to accomplish. So the choice is economic armageddon or nuclear armageddon. Just like our perfectly balanced Democracy never anticipated the threat to be the president himself, all the "peace in our times" organizations never anticipated the threat coming from one of its primary members.
This is not looking good.
I beg to differ that our democracy was ever perfectly balanced. It has been broken for a long time. Actually severely broken. Around 65% of Americans believe that American democracy is failing and the world is taking notice.
That brings us back to a Putin, who laughs at America, especially with no respect at all for the new administration.
One of the many flaws is the electoral college. If the popular vote, that of the people was decisive, Trump would have lost his first term election.
