It's almost entirely PS, DCC and contractors, but there are military people within RPOPs and ADM(IE), just like ADM(Mat).

It's hard to find the actual full quote, but here's another article with more context; “As a Quebecer, I’m pretty fed up with this debate, which is generally about identity and elections,” Miller told reporters in Ottawa. (in French). Sounds like he was talking more about the language debate...

You have to keep in mind there is an international treaty limiting what we can actually do on the Great lakes and along the border generally, so anything other than local RHIBs for training stationed in the area becomes a problem. The CRCN has a pretty long wishlist, but imagine there are...

It's even funnier when it doesn't actually get to them, and instead goes to a completely different L1.

I'm not sure what the chatter was, but this all predated Topshee by who knows how many CRCNs now (7, 8?), and I think the environmental L1s have far less actual influence over purple functions than they think. As an aside, surprised there aren't more major scandals with people doing things...

Well, they actually said 'fuck the stoker mafia' during one of the decision briefs, so not really a theory. The fact that they knee capped the RCN for the next 10 years, and is actively impacting the delivery of RCD's combat recoverability is kind of a nice bit of karma, if they could be...

I feel like most of these folks got elected because of their association with the party, and not on their own merit. I imagine folks like Guildebrault would lose his seat if he ran as an independent, so really pushing his own personal politics vice advancing the best interests of his riding and...

That one should be really interesting and hoping I get to work on it a bit, the ammo folks at DAER do the coolest testing by far. Also replacing most firehalls, redoing most hangars, training facilities, huge navy infra (including sub bases, as well as a lot of of the pre-cold war buildings...

Most of the armouries are actually getting significant upgrades and overhauls, so hopefully they give the James St and the Links and Winks one similar treatment. The problem now is more lack of people to do projects, as well as prioritizing it based on actual condition and not who has the most...

I think the concept was fine; I think the actual usage as well as mission drift is the issue. They never get used for anything that basic boarding party couldn't do, and they keep trying to create things they can do (but don't get used for either), vice someone in CJOC or similar saying to the...

But what if... we put in a risk assessment and ask someone that doesn't work in the building to accept the risk? Meeting the building code is for weenies who don't live large. The Canadian Labour Code and the DND General Safety program is for simps and betas. Oh, and TBS in their directive on...

Edit: read down afterwards and realized I'm late to the party... Fortunately the Rush Bagot Treaty is still in effect, so it's actually up to both Canada and the US, given that the border is demilitarized. Similarly there are rules around transiting and sailing around the St. Lawrence that are...

@Lumber Tabernac... I guess the work isn't done, until the work isn't done... at sea. (old Fryism) Good sign when your last name becomes a verb.

Thanks, that does make sense, although that's been the position for a few years, and we're probably behind the 8 ball on actually generating people (plus running out of legacy HTs to do all that). I'm sure the old OJPRs and training lectures are all archived at CFNES, so dusting off the old OHP...

The weird thing with the AEGIS selection as well as the giant radar is that it has had such a massive impact on the design itself it means we've had to completely re-engineer a lot of things, do a tonne of work on the crew, add in more design changes for the reduced non-ops room type, and likely...
