I thought about using it in my Go North TL but passed on it because short of making it big enough for Panamax-size vessels it would be useless by the time it was completed thanks for the Canadian railways.

I'm not sure the social safety net problem is that big of one considering unemployment there is practically nil and they regularly import workers from other islands, but it does have to be said the governments that followed him did have work to do, but for the most part they did it and did it...

It is exclusive and they do limit themselves in what you can study, but what they do study there....yeah, it's like going to school at a tropical resort, and a hell of a good one at that. The island's public services really take the sustainability stuff seriously too, I mean how many places use...

Sorta. They want to use the portions of the coral reef around the island that have been irreparably damaged by the phosphate mines for additional land, but anything beyond that is off limits, and don't think some of the resort people haven't asked. They've taken to trying to move development...

I think it shows what can be done with natural resource wealth when done properly, doesn't it? Nauru turned its phosphate wealth into a new world, and they have spent a mountain of money on environmental remediation as well as its incredible investments. The beaches they have created are...

It wouldn't pass, and if either of the parties had any level of support for it that would be it for them and the vote from people of colour for a generation.

If I may add to the Pentrex videos of this world 🙂 The Northern Exposure Following the operations of Canadian National Railways and Via Rail Canada on CN's famous Nunavut Division, all the way from Winnipeg through Churchill, Manitoba, and up through Nunavut as far as the terminals on the...

Roberts Cameron Miller Established: September 5, 1934 Headquarters: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Even among the ranks of great professionals lie many with a desire to strike out on their own, taking the chance to make your own living. In the depths of the Great Depression, even those men and...

Ecclestone was at the time extremely hostile towards CART, particularly after the Mansell affair. He led the demand at the FIA that CART's expansion outside of North America be limited to ovals (they wanted to run Suzuka in the early 1990s and the track was up for it, but the FIA most certainly...

Possible, yes. Easy to pull off? Absolutely not. The Penske, Newman/Haas and Rahal/Hogan teams would be livid, and they have the greatest investment in (and sponsorship for) CART. If George and Mehl are gonna lead a takeover from the inside, they'd need help to do it and a lot of it. Him having...

As far as Leo Mehl being able to be the diplomat, the problem was two fold, and it stemmed from a very real difference of opinion that the above to a point shows. The CART veterans - Penske most of all, but also the likes of Gene Haas and Paul Newman, Bobby Rahal, Chip Ganassi, Pat Patrick...

^ It wasn't as if there were no young American drivers of the time - Jimmy Vasser, Bryan Herta, Robby Gordon, Scott Pruett, Parker Johnstone, Scott Sharp, Dominic Dobson. The problem with the last of the old-school short-track drivers was because they, simply put, had learned to race in entirely...

The problem with the use of nuclear explosions for civilian purposes is that it tends to make the area excavated dangerously radioactive. Weapons that use less uranium or plutonium would help but not eliminate that problem, and no matter how well your nuclear-excavated mine or harbour is, if...

It's possible, but do bear in mind that the Lima plant was, as far as plants that produced locomotives go, fairly small - it's employment peaked at 4,300 during WWII, and for most of its history was more like 1,500 to 2,000 - and fairly remote from other facilities of the company. I kept...

Pullman bought by Ansaldo. That's an interesting idea, though it could work very nicely if the Italians can make fast and comfortable trains work in the United States.
