I'm buying the whole aisle of toilet paper at Costco tomorrow.

I'll take a clapped out CPF over a new NK ship... If the last few wars haven't taught people that just because it's new and shiny doesn't meant it's effective, I'm not sure what will... How are the Russian T-14 Armata's working for them? What about the Terminators and S400s?

I am not singing up to read, but 30 hours sounds like the time fighting, then overhauling/clearing gases/cleaning. When PRO had it's fire most of the crew in the after house were forced to relocate because of the smoke contamination. People were living all over the ship, to the point that we...

If we end up in another WWII style fight, just like in WWII, most ships will be emergency programme ships that are less complex than what we are building now. We will also surge defence R&D, as well as production so costs and build times will decrease. We don't operate like that outside of war...

Part of the point of the CDCs is to get more Canadian firms into the warship business, it isnt an emergency plan to replace the CPFs. That's not yet on the table, and is unlikely to be on the table short of a declared war akin to WWII.

That sort of plan makes the job of logistics significantly harder. Logistics is hard enough already, we should be looking for ways to make it easier. The more effort we waste on the simple things, like upper control arms, the less time we have for the complex tasks. I agree, we need continuous...

Based on working with someone connected to a person who was in the Middle East when the war kicked-off, it was the CAF that dropped the ball on this. There is no way the PM is tracking where every CAF member outside of Canada is at all times. The CAF seems to have failed to consider that there...

The Senator and ISV/LUVW are entirely different beasts. I'm not arguing against Rochel making the Senator, I'm arguing that on top of the Senator, we need a boat load of green fleet utility vehicles, and GM already makes them... Just get GM to make them here, on a small line dedicated to...

When I came home from Afghanistan for HLTA I went from rations for breakfast, to the KAF tent DFAC streamline food, to Camp Mirage custom made omelets in the span of three days. It was a massive shock to my system lol.

The whole point of picking GM Defense is to have a standard product that has parts compatibility with the civilian vehicles driven all over the country. We don't need every town making trucks, and we don't need the entire automotive production capacity of the nation dedicated to making army...

100% Pick a winner (GM Defence), and give them enough work to justify a small plant/section of a plant in Canada.

My last trip on WIN the cooks had given up and the food was terrible, but generally you're right. Though a couple of my trips were over 8 months... That's a long time to have little say over what you eat, apart from the port visits.

I'm not in the least shocked by this. I have heard about suppression of scientific studies that run counter to the preferred narrative for a while now. Turns out, when you control the funding, you control the narrative... The science will say what the backers want it to say when it comes...

I'm not anti-Carney, I'm just pointing out the level of partisan silliness I see on here directed at Poilievre. Poilievre delivered the best national numbers for the CPC since the 80s, despite the LPC taking essentially the entire CPC policy after parachuting in a celebrity(of sorts) leader...

To say having 41.3% of the votes for his party, 2.5% less that the grand victor, is a rejection is equally ridiculous.
