    Federal Budget 2024 megathread

    That’s why I posted the actual bill to confirm/deny any speculation. I don’t think @Haggis is burning him quite yet - he specifically said “maybe the LPC would do it if he keeps it up”. He didn’t say “should”, or that PP has kept it up. The proof whether it was a slip or not will be...

    Drones, the Air Littoral, and the Looming Irrelevance of the USAF

    Probably not those, but I’d be shocked if the major NATO Class 3 UAS manufacturers aren’t considering it for their next-generation platforms…

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    Surprisingly, CAF Reddit was fairly supportive.

    Drones, the Air Littoral, and the Looming Irrelevance of the USAF

    Until the platforms can evade the BVR missiles and close, therefore dog-fighting. In the shorter term, I expect (if this hasn’t already happened) RPAS folks with USAF/USN Weapons Instructor quals.

    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    Fair. The big thing I have against this specific argument (Trudeau is the cause of homelessness in Canada) is that - and I totally understand that it’s impossible to prove unless we can slide between Multiverses - if the LPC wasn’t in power in the past 8 years and all other things remained the...

    2022 CPC Leadership Discussion: Et tu Redeux

    That’s totally on the reporters for asking closed-ended questions. That’s just shoddy question-asking. If I was being questioned, I’d hope for questions like that.

    Replacing the Subs

    It still irks me that people write BLUF at all. How about “Summary”?

    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    More to the point, how many of those six were there before Trudeau came into power? 6 is too many, but calling homeless encampments “Trudeauvilles” is about as correct as calling the homeless crisis in Victoria “Klein-stans” because Ralph Klein bought one-way bus tickets for AB’s homeless to...

    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    Quirky claimed that Canada was a shithole country, not QV.

    That’s near the airport, right? Depending on where it is (ie. how it affects the landing/departure pattern) there are height limits, including max height of trees, due to Transport (or NAV) Canada regulations.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    Not that I’m suggesting that this is a good idea, but a family living in a 500-600 sqft (at best) apartment is the norm in many places in Asia. It’s pretty surprising how much you can pack into an apartment in HK.

    Global Warming/Climate Change Super Thread

    NASA sort of agrees, but they say that the CO2 output basically bounced back by end-2020. So 9 months of drop. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3129/emission-reductions-from-pandemic-had-unexpected-effects-on-atmosphere/ To be fair, it’s not completely refuting your point but it suggests that...

    Federal Budget 2024 megathread

    “It’s time”? Even when I was in high school in the 90s, I was told that a fair percentage of immigrants to Canada from other areas eventually moved to the US. The thing is there are lots of folks who would proudly say “we moved to [insert country] from Canada and we love it here”. Outside...
