We shouldn't underrate Canada's capabilities

At least he tried, at his own expense, to introduce some different thinking in an attempt to overcome some of the objections raised by those who firmly believe that Canadian technology is not sufficiently advanced to allow the design, construction and safe operation of a pipeline. Nor, it would appear, are we able to design a system that would allow safe navigation through coastal waters of various classes of vessels, notably tankers. In short, we are pretty hopeless.
In spite of our more obvious limitations, I was encouraged cheap north face outlet to see that Canada had a role in NASA's recent accomplishment of landing an automobilesize rover on Mars. It's a truly remarkable effort that depended entirely on preprogrammed instructions, no human intervention at all, technology at its finest.
