@ShaziGoalie Wait until these reporters find out we have Marine Ports too... Passenger bags are 23kgs at a time. Guess how much weight you can fit in a marine container... Trucks driving up from Mexico, full of drugs... These airport guys are small time crooks. The final delivery guys.

@fhoro Railway Gothic, what a great name for that style!

@TraceyKent Honest question, is Copper Creek done? They're developing the whole thing?

@DKellerCMT @WalterDeemer @fhoro how do you feel about Canadian miners?

@ExxAlerts @grok can you read the Mc patches?

@fhoro To be fair, the first fully automatic sub machine gun I ever saw in real life, was at the Zurich airport. So I guess we could say that most major airports in the world have heavily armed police forces walking around. Forbes used a photo of the Atlanta police force, badge on arm.

"Interim NDP Leader Don Davies, who has his top-secret security clearance from his time spent serving as a member of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, said no one in government has offered him any briefings on the situation in the Gulf, but that he would like one." @DonDavies /2

What an idiot. First, the base in Kuwait & it’s exact location is well known & can be easily found on Google maps & it never took a security clearance for the CAF to let CDN’s know when our troops had been attacked in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Second, Poilievre has had a Level II (secret) security clearance for more than a decade, note that it’s at issue.

Third, the only clearance that Poilievre has ever refused to obtain was a temporary NSICOP clearance that was limited to reading the unredacted report, that didn’t even include source material, on election interference & didn’t translate into being able to access any other classified material.

Last but not least @DavidMcGuinty knows this & is using this moronic answer to deflect from the fact that he fucked up by trying to hide this embarrassing news from CDN’s who may be asking why CDN troops were there, why they were defenceless & are they still in harms way without any ability to intercept future incoming missiles or drones, since the subsidies addicted media won’t ask those obvious questions? Hiding behind a non existent CAF operational security excuse, knowing CAF Officers can’t comment without permission & then trying to blame Poilievre is pure chickenshit politics!

Maybe Supriya could listen to an actual former leader of the opposition about the security clearance red herring

Mulcair "I would never have accepted to read it either. Never."

"I would never want to be told that I can't ask all the questions I want of the government."

Remember that old line about how Liberals “would of course line up all kinds of people to write op-eds saying that" to sell a story @ThomasMulcair

@grok @True_VoiceX @DougAMacgregor Superbowl weekend? @grok can you compare today's pizza index, with last year's on Superbowl Sunday?

@fhoro @globeandmail I feel these were self serving vote buying trade barriers over the years. Kinda funny, that we have them in place. Also, probably had to put them in place to protect viable companies from being short bid by companies being subsidized by bankrupt provincial governments?

BMW i4 eMotor Service – A Masterpiece on Subscription
After our latest video showing the eMotor service on the BMW i4 – also used in the new i5 model – one very banal issue stood out: graphite dust penetrating the motor insulation. Or, as we like to explain it: "the 400V battery voltage is leaking to your door handle." Of course, this is harmless because resistance and conductivity are minimal.
What's interesting are comments from people unfamiliar with the technology, where "brushes on the rotor" are automatically interpreted as inferior technology. The automotive industry uses several types of motors:
Induction asynchronous motors (ASM) without magnets on the rotor (squirrel cage). These are easy to repair and probably the most sustainable for EVs, but their drawback is rotor cooling (LDU, e-Tron). Our remanufactured LDU, properly designed, has already driven 900,000 km without failure.
The most common today are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM). These have proven very problematic to service because the rotor uses special rare-earth magnets and requires ultra-precise rotor position calculation at every moment so the inverter can form the magnetic field in the stator. Servicing motors without an easily removable resolver hub becomes difficult. Rewinding the stator becomes a nightmare. Bearings suffer more due to stronger torque impulses; ceramic bearings become mandatory, and overall motor design becomes more expensive. Also, vehicles with PMSM motors cannot be pushed or towed when faulty, while ASM and EESM vehicles can.
The last motor design used by Continental in the Renault Zoe is the Electrically Excited Synchronous Motor (EESM) – and this exact design is used in the BMW i4 and i5 series. This is currently, after the induction motor, one of the most long-term sustainable electric motors ever designed. The motor uses brushes and a separate IGBT to convert DC into AC and form the magnetic field on the rotor, replacing permanent magnets. The rotor has lower mass because it uses copper windings, can be rewound, and servicing of the rotor, stator, and other components is simpler. Ceramic bearings are not required, but its Achilles' heel is the brushes and dust, which places it second in sustainability after the induction motor.
The Zoe typically needed cleaning of the brush zone at around 200,000 km. This BMW from the photo already had this done once at a BMW service center, and now again at 126,000 km.
For this service, a safety procedure is required to disconnect the high-voltage system, remove the rear axle, take the motor out, and open the cover under which the brushes and resolver position sensor are located. The job takes 2 days.
When changing the oil, we found the reduction gearbox was missing some oil, heavily contaminated, with coarse metal shavings on the magnet. This points to bearing overheating, slippage, or cage damage. Based on this case – although one swallow does not make a spring – we assume preventive oil changes and cleaning/replacement of the rotor brushes are necessary.
For those who don't understand the severity: this is the cheapest and easiest "failure" ever seen in the automotive industry and is not a reason for concern. We are currently working on a preventive solution: redesigning the cover so the motor can be serviced without removal.
Aside from this, the BMW i4 is truly a masterpiece in overall quality and drivetrain design – repairable and accessible. This is the only known fault of the i4 series we've heard of. BMW, surprisingly, despite catastrophically bad fossil engines and hybrid systems, makes exceptionally good electric models and is the only real hope of the EU automotive industry to stand up to the Chinese and Americans.
Definitely not a vehicle to avoid. We solved this "failure" in 2 days, analyzed the case for future clients, and are now working to improve and reduce the cost of the procedure.

@fhoro I'm thinking about an entry into CP leading up to the RRSP cutoff. It's either that or one of the Brookfield children.
