Hey guys I love when school busses are repurposed either for USA van lifers or as public transit in other countries like MX, Nica, Guatemala, etc.

SO I saw this and took a picture to share with you all I love the green color.

What he said isn't wrong, it is a government owned corporation and famously biased. So the fact that they left out details likely to spin the story in a way that is anti trump isn't surprising and the anon he was replying to should have known better than to trust CBC as his source.

>the anon he was replying to should have known better than to trust CBC as his source
Every media outlet has it's biases. I can bitch about the CBC/Radio Canada's biases and failures on individual stories, but it's still about 2x better than the other shitty fucking news outlets in Canada, other than a few individual journalists or specialized publications who do better inside their narrow domains.
If we're comparing against American journalism, then the CBC is at least 5x better than their national media, but that's a very low bar.
What national media outlet in Canada are you seriously suggesting is better? I need a good fucking laugh.
>>
>>2064681
Daily reminder the CBC actually staged a hospital room with dummies (the fake, not alive kind) on ventilators as performance for cuckdeau's coronavirus propaganda.

These are absolutely evil people who will all hang on the day of the rope.

>>2064729
None. All cucknadian media is paid for by the government (by law), and anyone not on the payroll is shut down as "misinformation". But somehow, I think you actually like it that way.

As a former Canadian federal worker wrongfully dismissed for not wanting to take a experimental drug for trendy pretense, I finally escaped to the US (now green card holder) and has never looked back.

Theoretically speaking, if I was an entrepreneuring billionaire and I wanted to bring back one of the great American passenger trains (Super Chief, California Zephyr, Panama Limited, Empire Builder, City of Los Angeles/San Francisco, 20th Century Limited, Broadway Limited, Powhatan Arrow, Coast Daylight, etc.) to run on a regular basis (let's put it at at least two times a month for a start), which option would be more feasible from an economic/technical/legal perspective?

1. Acquire all of the surviving rolling stock (sleepers, dining cars, dome/observation cars, baggage cars, etc.) from the original consist from private owners, heritage railways, and museums, as well as matching surviving locomotives (can be from ones different railroads since thousands of functionally and aesthetically identical EMD F and E units were sold to all Class I railroads). Renovate them as necessary to make them FRA-compliant, obtain waivers wherever possible. Put them into service as a part-luxury train, part-mobile museum.

2. Commission the construction of a replica consist. Building entirely new streamlined cars from scratch, designed to match the internal and external appearance of its original as much as possible, with changes only being made when it's literally required to make the car FRA-compliant/modern user friendly (updated wiring, HEP, power outlets at seats, WiFi support, replacing wooden paneling with MDF paneling etc.). Motive power consists of custom-built Siemens Chargers designed to resemble the original E and F units (streamlining, bulldog noses, matching paint schemes, etc.) as much as legally possible.

>written by mustache man
I like the blogs and videos on the park site so this is presumably them in a book. seems legit.

I learned out of a book that was written by Bicycling Magazine because I've been wrenching since a few years before the world wide web. it covered indexed shifting but not disc brakes or any type of suspension. it's still good and I still refer to it, but I don't know how many subsequent editions they made and presumably it's no longer published.

They could have bought from Florida like WSDOT is doing for their own electrification project. BC Ferries and WSDOT are essentially one combined system, at least when the Sidney to Anacortes route is running. Picking the Chinese instead is pure maple goblin retardation.

Shut up you autistic faggot

Welcome to Juarez city... now look at pic related

Cargo train runs right through this buys intersection en el centro.

So if you need to get somewhere sometimes there's a massive cargo train in your way preventing you and making you LATE.

How do you fix that. Not only that it's dangerous. There are no "Train crossing beware" it's just hopefully uou don't get hit by the train

til, planes leave white trails, or condensation trails at high altitudes because hot, water-vapor-rich jet engine exhaust meets extremely cold, low-pressure air, causing the vapor to freeze into ice crystals. Essentially, they are man-made, high-altitude cirrus clouds formed by the combustion of fuel, are chemtrails according to some schizophrenic boomer with nothing to prove it has some adverse negative effect.

Given that becoming a pilot requires a lot of money, it is expected that most pilots would be right wing. It has nothing to do with it being a "real job". I think operating heavy machinery (the realest of jobs according to you) would actually align more with extremist left wing ideology.To clarify, by extremist left wing I don't mean liberals, those are left leaning centrists at best.

I'm having a difficult time deciding on what I'd enjoy most for a weekend/overnight fishing trip boat. I've kind of broken down my wants but its still kind of difficult

>reliable enough to run trouble free for 6 month stretches
>500 naut. Mile range
>purchase price below $20k
>space for a full week aboard with 4 people total if needed

So far my 2 top choices have been a bristol with a skeg rudder and fin keel, or a small bertram flybridge like a 28 or something close. Anyone have experience with either sailboats or offshore fishing? I've only been out a few times on a center console which was great to fish off but pretty much only had some bench seats to sit on and had next to no cover from sun.

I'm tired of this myth. I bought a $15k sailboat (30 ft) two years ago and outside of moorage fees I've spent like $400 on maintenance and repairs, and that includes buying a polishing machine and servicing the sails.

If you buy a good boat and take care of it, I really don't see how it can cost these huge figures people are talking about.
