I would love to see the same support of our wholly domestic amateur and pro leagues. That we genuflect towards US leagues over and above our own is disappointing to me. And yes, the NHL is a wholly US owned and operated league that barely tolerates having foreign franchises.

How Toronto of you that you just assume that all of Canada automatically supports a team located in your city.

So Maple Magas are NFL fans? 🇮

Decolonization debates are the purview of the idle riche and tenured professors. Folks who are actually trying to make a living don't give a shyte about these things. Prove me wrong.

When we replaced 4 Squadron with the simulators (I was a lab rat for the suitability of simulators as a group of us who had finished MARS 2 were sent to Rhode Island to see how we would function in a simulator). It was soon realized that the simulator couldn't replicate all the other...

Armed naval vessels permanently stationed on the Great Lakes? Mr’s Rush and Bagot would like a word. Rush–Bagot Treaty - Wikipedia

Never change junior ranks/rates. You folks provide hours of entertainment, if you aren’t in their chain of command mind you!

That’s a unique way of justifying the USMC. 🤔

You likely know this but there are no training bunks on the Rivers, the CDC is envisioned to be the platform that does both FE and FG. The Orca's and their replacements will be doing FG and MAYBE (a big maybe) if the balloon goes up some FE in a very permissive environment. Let's not devolve...
