    Canada to Spend $5.0Bil on AEW Aircraft

    If the Swedish system fits in a Global 600 or 650, and you want range for the Arctic, could it not be fitted in an Airbus A220-300 that then get some extended range (extra belly tanks using the room available but not needed for the cabin or electronics?

    Dammit! G.I. Joe gets a whole Tiger Force. All we ever get in Canada are Tiger Teams.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    QV, I believe Altair may have been referring to a woman's right to control her own body (i.e. abortion rights), which is all over the map as a result of Roe v. Wade being overturned, said map being covered not only with different colours and nuances of colours, but with some of the clearly...

    Yes. What better way to know if you are facing a major or a warrant officer: Must be an officer, he's wearing brown shoes!

    Cyprus - US or UK asset?

    The ghost writers of Trump's first book titled it "The Art of the Deal". His second book, coming soon, will be titled "The Art of Pissing Off Your Friends in No Time Flat".

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    No. The "claim" of an EX- boyfriend should be taken as just that: a "claim" (not a fact) and form an "ex", who most likely has an ax to grind. Let him bring outside proof of this fact relying on something else than just his own testimony about that. No court, and court of public opinion, should...

    Well, here's how I view this: She is single, so was the divorced guy.

So what is the big deal, and why would it...

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    In Montreal, the current HSR ROW does not go to the central station, downtown, but rather on the North side of the mountain. They are talking about swinging South to the central station but that would require digging a new tunnel under the mountain. However, a station North of the mountain works...

    RCN Carrier models

    Just two small comments if I may, NS: The deck of ships (or carriers) should be mate, not glossy. Also, the "22" seems much larger in proportion than the one that was marked on Bonnie. But great work anyway.

    Rick (Master Crayon Eater) on choosing your political horse

    Personally, I did something rather different the last election: I voted Bloc (yes, me, Mr. Progressive Conservative). I did so because the Bloc candidate, the incumbent Andreanne Larouche, has proven herself to be quite active and good for the riding. She is here in the riding quite a lot ( a...
