  1. The Whale has Wings

    Just to point out it is fiddlehead season right now in the maritimes, if you're lucky enough to have found yourself as that beautiful end of the country, make sure to delve into a side. Garlic-butter is the safe word.
  2. Was Erwin Rommel the best German general of WWII

    This. As a tactician he was in rarified air. Manstien, IMHumbleO, was the best German general. Put Rommel in the east and Manstien in Afrika and I feel the lesson of logistics would be a hard quick lesson for a Rommel trying to roll a big rock down a hill to get up a bigger hill.
  3. Franco-American War, 1866.

    Just asking a question then, with a war that would attract most of Napoleon III's attention, would he be a little, and mean just a little, more flexible with Prussian political maneuvers, for calm on the boarders? The issue with France as mentioned, is similar to what Britain has had to face...
  4. AHC: CANZUK Union

    With an IP in place then and this has been somewha discussed in threads revolving around this pole, but the structure of the military's and their respective zones of command. Would it be the Royal Navy again with Halifax station, Singapore station etc.? Likewise the Royal Army. Just some points...
  5. Diefenbaby

    I just thought that while reading David T. Could socred become the western party fully, and become a true third party? Maybe start a legacy of co-op governments with the liberals? or even PC when it suits them, as they grew to represent mostly western canadian interests? Which at that time were...
  6. Diefenbaby

    <whistles> any schumk lucky enough to go against the liberals in 58. The Liberals were beginning to suffer from "in-government-too-long-itis". just to make a point, their election campaign was, "You never had it so good". If Dief ain't chief, then my money, (hahaha), is on Fleming. I do find...
  7. London-style metropolitan government in the US

    There's also Halifax Regional Municipality, and Cape Breton Municipality, and Nova Scotia. HRM is all of the former city, as well as county of Halifax. and CBRM, is comprised of the city of Sydney, North Sydney, Sydney Mines, and Glace Bay... why do I feel like I'm forgetting one. They were...
  8. If Quebec becomes independent, what happens to Atlantic Canada?

    My heart says independence if they could work out a deal to have Bermuda join them plus maybe the Bahamas/Turks and Caicos, the influx of modern tourism cash would help make the region more stable, and give back the Maritimes traditional advantage in the Atlantic trade. The focus of trade would...
  9. The Tale of the Lion and The Lily

    To start this long brewing TL, I must state that I am merely an amateur historian with some schooling in this field of history but am always open to more informed individuals to discuss topics but please in PM, as I am writing this on my iPhone and it is easier for me to respond. August...
  10. Movie Roles for John Belushi

    He would have made as a good a Walter Sobcek as John Goodman.
  11. AHC: Save the Super Mario Film (1993)

    One name, Disney.
  12. Largest Possible Canada

    A French Canada included the Old North West, and S. Manitoba while having growing ties as far as Alberta and Montana. If you can keep the French in their colonies, Ville de Quebec could be the northern terminus, of a Canada similar to Dathi's only with more of a joie de vivre.
  13. The Whale has Wings

    Then you need to have the Fois Gras Poutine, at the Saint John Ale House in Saint John New Brunswick. It's also the only spot east of Montreal that has real Ale. They have a half pigs head special, with house charcuterie and pickled veg, I can't believe I ate the whole thing.
  14. WI: Acadia remains French after the Seven Years War

    The biggest hurdle for Freance is Louisburg. While being just finished construction in time for the 7 years war, it was out of date in design and really a white elephant. It is the one spot where France can't be lax on if it has any long term goals for NA. It is the doorway to the St Lawrence...
  15. WI: Acadia remains French after the Seven Years War

    Acadia was northern Maine, New Brunswick, Southern Gaspe, PEI, and Nova Scotia. It's focus of pop settlement was around the Bay of Fundy, in the tidal floods and north shore, the Saint John River, Cobequid Isthmus, and eastern Cape Breton. Anything else that's French NA is coinsidering Canada...
  16. The Whale has Wings

    ...the Italian campaign will ge commanded by a Canadian? :D I'm thinking a certain Andrew McNaughton might be just the man, one of the smartest men in the WA, and a defender of the Canadian Army, when it was broken up. This is your man to make Italy faster.
  17. DBWI: What if Courtney Love didnt kill herself in 1994?

    Seeing what we saw of her, I imagine she would develop into a more tragic and failed "Janice Joplyn", on a career basis. I could see Kurt breaking up with her eventually and taking Jellybean away. Otherwise her childish self-destructive behavior would have spiralled Kurt out, or worse.
  18. When did the US lose their desire for Canada?

    It's just a change of tactics. Economics is just as strong as a cannon.
  19. The Raptor of Spain

    First I have to say, wow! This is comprehensive, and very very well written. I enjoyed every minute of the TL. Thank you MNP, please keep up the awesome work.
  20. The Haudenosaunee Imperium: Tagnaguya

    Consider me subscribed. My mind is spinning at the flapping.
