If asked could you provide the stats to support your position? I have a few friends who they and their co-workers were asked for their WFH and In office stats. It was an interesting discussion overall about the top performers and everyone else. Their employers compared their employee data with...

I would ask that the RCMP prove that there are not enough suitable Canadian Residents first, I am sure this will be tested in Court. That would start with the people they gave two year or less deferrals to over the past ten years. To go back and reconnect with those people who did not reapply...

To me the EU should have stood up their "Defence Force" a long time ago and told Russia to head back home. Instead they let complacency and trade disputes effect protecting themselves.

They way I read it, the Fire Control System is not compatible with the customers Specs. Without having the integration from the French System they can not make the boomy things go boom properly. Chassis vs. chassis should not be a problem, if that is a problem then one should not be buying...

I hear lots of immigrants are applying to the Canadian Forces. Many as their way to pay their duty to their new country. When I have talked to few of them they say they would go where needed. I often let them know about the Reserves but also the option within the regular force and the benifit...

My foot patrols I did on Canada Day would disagree with you. I had people thanking us, telling me Canada is the greatest country in the world. They were proud and happy to now be here. A few of them arrived just weeks before. Many if not all were waving Canadian Flags, Had maple leaf tattoos...

Emergency was probably the wrong word. But a very good strong reason to do so would be better termed. Again this would only open up the discussion over Regular Force Staffing levels if they had to Activate a Reserve Unit(s) to full fill a UN mission. Again they would have to require a reason to...

I am not understanding how 31(1) would apply to the Reserves? Unless it was an Emergency. Which case I would assume the EA would be enacted and then they have all kinds of irregular powers. Unless a member was already attached to a Regular Force Unit on Class C at the time. The word "MAY" is a...

I 100% agree Countries stock pile product on both shipping and receiving end. As long as one can store then ship product in mass during the short season the Port of Churchill can and would work. The money investment has not been there due to the price of what they are shipping. If your adding...

The Feds need to get behind De Havilland Canada ASAP to become the worlds leader in firefighting aircraft along with the future of Military and heavy industry transport. Commit a few bucks to secure future Transport aviation in Canada.

I am in the wrong business with rates like what you guys are all saying. Time to look at different business lines.

Davie is buying market share to compete in the larger world market. Great strategy on their part. Hope they can pull it off.

I meant to say reduced manufacturing

But the US took manufacturing away from the Canadian plant years ago.

GDLSC needs to either market their platform overseas and get more orders. They need to redesign/design a platform with tracks, artillery turrets and maybe a 50 ton tank.
