Nah just the idea of the US replacing the Constellation class with River Class, and part of that agreement being US yards build a couple of ours for us.

Can you imagine?

Damn. I googled Stevie and when some pictures came up, a few surprised me, and I assumed that it was showing me some pictures of some "other" guy named Steven Guilbeault. But nah, this is the same dude. Wild.

This is not the the Liberal party they signed up for in 2015/2019.

Good riddance! Guilbeault resigning from cabinet in response to Alberta MOU: source https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/guilbeault-quitting-cabinet-9.6995299

I've met and read about too many absolutely terrible parents that we should carte-blanche trust them to make all decisions regarding their children. I mean, we already have laws that would result in your children being taken away from you if you aren't making safe decisions regarding your...

A trans only league wouldn't work. You'd have biological males competing against biological females. Actually, you wouldn't, you'd have just biological males because the biological females wouldn't be able to compete with the biological males and would hardly ever "make the cut".

League 1: Females, plus trans-females who transitioned pre-puberty. League 2: Males and trans-females who transitioned post-puberty. Why wouldn't this work?

Their currently is no contract signed for anything past the first "batch" of 3, so there is potential already for the 2nd batch of 4 thru ## to be a significant divergence from the first 3.

My wife and I watch this YouTube channel where a British guy does food eating challenges (BeardMeatsFood). He mostly does challenges in the UK and the US, but he's done a fair number in Canada and across Europe. Anyways, whenever he is doing a food challenge in the UK, we are blown away by the...

Also curious what their opinions are on circumcisions. :ROFLMAO:

Question for those on (or generally on) Alberta's side here (@CBH99, @QV , @Jarnhamar). You're against gender affirming surgery, correct? What about gynecomastia? This is where boys develop large breasts, and I don't mean the boys get fat, I mean they have a medical condition that causes them...

1. Like I said, just about any corvette out there can satisfy the warfare requirements of the "mushy middle". The weapons load out of Legend-class cutter is more than enough to deal with drones, small boats, and small arms. But, the real problem is that the "mushy middle" hasn't been defined as...

Not exactly. The billets for the first RCDs are being held at CRCN level. They will be filled and those initial crews will be trained for RCD. I'm certain some people will be cross trained and transfer directly from a CPF to an RCD, but it won't be anything like a wholesale crew swap.

So, here is where I believe military procurement, and naval procurement especially, makes things over cumbersome; there's what you need them to be able to do, and what you actually do with them. Determining what we want/need them to do is a long process. You have to take in countless amounts of...
