I remeber that before my 101yr old Great Aunt passed in 2023 that she was getting Carbon rebate cheques…..she was living in a nursing home with moderate dementia, how could she possibly be spending enough to warrant this rebate. Same with the ‘keep our seniors in their own homes’ rebate or...

I wonder how feasible something similar to chaff on a SPG, tanks, trucks, etc would be.

It seems counterintuitive that towed guns have a higher survivability.

Plus, you further erode civilian morale. They repair it and you come along and destroy it again. Rinse and repeat.

Sooner or later the ‘argument’ of stay at home Mom’s is no longer going to hold water. With the average CDN family having less than 2 kids now, these Mom’s are working.

OAS kind of reminds me of the awards they now give out in sporting events in primary school - here’s an award for showing up, whether you put any effort into it or not. OAS is like an award for sticking with Canada for 40yrs between your best earning years of 18-58 and not going somewhere else.

True about 1986. Have to wonder if Mulroney had pulled off us getting the nuc subs back in the early 1990s and the EH101 if things would have been any different. I mean right off the bat we would not have had the entire Victoria class struggles and the current ongoing CH148 Cyclone issues. Not...

Both sets of ba$tards need to be held accountable. The 30yrs of rot are squarely on both of them.

Can you see the CDC only being stationed on one coast, vs both, and the Rivers being more heavily focused on the other? If so, which coast?

IF something like that was true you’d have to wonder if it could be grounds to remove Hungary from NATO?

What is sad is that this sort of information is not picked up by the media and the opposition parties to hammering the government on ensuring that repairs are properly funded and accommodated.

Maybe What carried us was the fact that we mothballed all the CF18’s that we moved out of Europe after the bases closed back to Canada. That gave them the depth they needed to cover off all the attrition up until the last 12-15yrs ago when the Aussie buy was supposed to cover us until the...

Just spitballing here but the CDC is being talked about as being ice strengthened and a possible PC6. Won’t that extra weight mean a greater draught than a ship of similar length?

With the AOPS being named for both men and a woman, what are we doing for them? Are we calling the Harry DeWolf a male ship or a female ship? What about Margaret Brooke? Is that ship a female ship or a male ship?

Yes I’m aware of that. Did we replace any from 1982 to 2000?
