You don't cut current pay, you make changes to future deployments. The same way they have changed SDA and other allowances for follow-on deployments in the past. The other 90% didn't stop deploying when their pay was "cut" so I suspect the 10% of reservists won't either. Particularly with the...

Lots of RegF people do that too, when they are deploying with a unit that isn't from their base.

If you expect to be paid like them, expect to be posted like them... That's the extra 8% pay.

I suspect it varies by unit quite a bit. I've only seen it abused in one case.

I'm just a weather dude, but back in the Senator chats you were criticizing them for not being JTLVs... So, is the JTLV a platform from the last war, or the standard against witch all future personnel transport should be judged? As a missile platform, how is the proposed ATGM platform worse...

I suspect "forward launching" adds both length, and complexity. The people who made the system aren't dumb, so I suspect they tried to make a VLS as small and portable as possible. Sometimes a longer reach/bigger gun is just bigger.

Nobody has said the CPC didn't make missteps. What I, and others, have said is that their loss of the election had as much, maybe more to do with "events" as it did with their mistakes.

Your TDS is showing... Again, your take that the CPC "fucked it up massively" says more about your position than it does about the CPC's performance in the last election.

If you decide to conveniently ignore the reality that Canadian media have for the last few decades compared the CPC, and the predecessor parties to the Republicans that makes some sense. Regardless of who was the leader, the media and the LPC would have drawn comparisons between the CPC leader...

So for option A, try to out NDP the NDP like the LPC did? Not very conservative... They would bleed their entire base to the LPC or some other new party if they tried that. The CPC did effectively politic to bring down the LPC, and the NDP were too dumb to take advantage of it. The NDP...

That assumes the Koreans didn't already factor the Polish contract into their pitch to us, and that they have no ability to expand production.

An RCD is useless if it can't keep up with the LAVs on the highway.

It reminds me of a BattleTech SRM launcher. It's cool to see MechWarrior/BattleTech getting closer to reality.

I stated it as the reality of politics. The leader of the opposition in reality has two jobs. Their job as leader of the official opposition, and their job as leader of their political party. The leader of the CPC's job is to convince voters that the CPC should be the next government. The...

If it was the other way around, and Carney was leader of the Opposition, he'd be doing the same thing. It's what the leader of the opposition always does... The real test is whether or not the CPC under PP's leadership work with the LPC to get things done. So far, the PM has said the CPC is...
