Are these necessary in light of Global Warming?
Busted!
Gee I woulda thought they’d be buying house boats instead!
1) Come here often, eh?
2) I'm Aries, what's your sign, eh?
3) If I said you had a nice body, would you hold it against me, eh?
4) Could I buy you a Moulson, eh?
5) Want to come to my place and see my etchings, eh?
6) Want to go for a cruise on my new icebreaker, eh?
How can this be so?
Thought the ice was melting? What gives?
They better keep the old ones too, they’re going to need them all in the upcoming mini ice age.
Will be built in BC and used in the Artic, Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River and Eastern Canada. Will the shake down cruise pass through the Panama Canal or will they try and pilot them to the ease coast through the Artic? Let me check the shipping routes within a couple hundred Nautical Miles... Through the Canal, 6450NM to Halifax, 7200NM to Montreal and 8100NM to Lake Huron through the Canal or through the Artic (if a lane can be opened) 6400NM to St John’s NL, 6800NM to Halifax, 6950NM to Quebec City and 7800NM to the middle of Lake Huron. You build the ships on the East Coast you are near repair facilities should something go wrong... Glad Trudeau isn’t a brain surgeon!
Six new ones? Maybe they can lend us one to supplement our pathetic ice breaker fleet which I believe (maybe mistakenly) consists of a single ship now.
America can laugh but America has inadequate Ice Breakers and show of force civilian and especially military on both poles especially the Arctic region.
there is an expedition yacht converted from a canadian ice breaker built in the 1960’s. very cool ship.
Originally built for the Canadian Coast Guard in Quebec, Beauport was designed, constructed and classed for light ice breaking, exceeding Lloyds specifications. She spent her first 30 years operating year round in fresh water on the St. Lawrence Seaway, originally accommodating a crew of 34. In 1993, when she was converted to a luxury yacht,
