Doesn’t set a wonderful dinner place setting for us…..

Give the Ukrainians the green light to attempt regime change in Russia if Zelenskyy is willing to risk his own life in the process.

As I’ve said, would love it if his plane somehow got diverted to the Yukon and we somehow got him shipped off to Den Hague.

Will be interesting to see over the next 4-12 weeks what this does in terms of creating new 'foot traffic' on the CAF recruiting website and/or offices. A starting pay of 52k/yr for a PTE is a solid starting salary.

I'm just glad that an overall positive step in the right direction has occurred. Its also nice that it looks like its going to be hitting the bank accounts right before back to school occurs, hopefully some families will be in a better position to put some smiles on the faces of their kids...

LOL, not his best moment. But to be fair, it was a joke. Do you think those on the Fox newscast thought what they were saying was a joke? That one woman at the end going on about Greenland looked like she was all set to storm the walls herself.

Its the old adage: "You can't please all of the people all of the time, but you can please some of the people some of the time." If Carney gave a 40% raise across the board, I have no doubt that there would still be some people complaining that it wasn't enough. I don't know of ANY business...

Does the recently announced pay raise fall into the 'Deeds' bucket or the 'Not Words' bucket for Carney?

Happy to be hearing that it sounds like you all are being taken care of.

Its the fact that these individuals even have this sort of thought process on their mind. Imagine if a bunch of tv personalities said the same thing on German evening news about Poland or the Czech Republic? How about a bunch of Brits on the Sky News saying something similar about the Republic...

Its clips like that that should be played again and again whenever someone in Canada says that we shouldn't be spending more on the CAF to increase numbers and capabilities.

Agree - but that’s where the Court system, Congress, the Senate and the world trade organizations all come into play. There is more and more push back each day in the US on falling CDN tourism, alcohol/wine boycotts and such. The trend is going our way on this issue.

As I’ve pointed out elsewhere, in July 2026 when CUSMA comes up for its first renewal, if 1 of the 3 parties choses not to renew it, it still stays exactly in place for 10yrs until it ceases to exist in 2036. In each of those 10yr remaining years the 3 parties can still come to an agreement in...

I'm not suggesting picking any point in the US. I was trying to understand why North Bay was picked for the location of an 'Arctic' related radar base. I'm aware that its an existing CAF base but as noted, its no where near the north in Canada. Choosing Hearst or Kapuskasing or Cochrane, all...

I mean Minot, ND is farther north than North Bay. Why is that not a better location than North Bay?
