Isn't the California National Guard made up of... Californians?

Found an update! The Chief was removed and that decision was upheld by a federal court. It was actually appointment "for life" with just a "review" after 21 years...

Ouuu another bold prediction. Let's see if I can go 2 for 2!

Perhaps the A50s were nonetheless being used for spare parts that would no longer be available for their active fleet.

Oh OK so technically they weren't lying. They said they would vote no, they never said they would actually ASK for a vote.

Well there goes, in my opinion, any chance of the LPC throwing the NDP a bone in thanks for the last few years of support. Interim NDP leader says party will vote against throne speech https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/interim-ndp-leader-says-party-will-vote-against-throne-speech/

Depends. If they are looking for OTH comms/TDL, then that could imply using them as low level scouts in ASUW vice a high-level scout providing a longer range (and much more obvious) radar picture. That talk of going with Romeos could also entail using them as a maritime strike platform...

That's... Not the Canadian way...

Can you give a synopsis of what TCDL is/does and how it differs from Link 16?

I don't know exactly what their CMS is called, but I've seen the CMS for the Cyclone and the CMS for the Aurora, and they are the same (it's from GD, I think it's called AMS or DMS) . So, if the Aurora's have link-16, how much integration work could it possibly require for the Cyclone? I get...
