Just moved a bunch of posts into the politics area from posters who should know better. Next step is public shaming before we just straight up move this thread into the politics area and ruin discussion like the Ukraine thread. - Milnet.ca Staff

Have you ever been in rural Canada? Moderate town during a power outage? We're not Europe, we struggle with cellular coverage outside major cities and dropping even 1000 phones onto a tower in an emergency situation where the civilian population is trying to contact family or EMS is a recipe to...

You don't just buy cell phones and call it a comms plan. 25,000 cell phones bought in Canada could be useless in parts of the world.

Thats a MAD scenario though. GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou all run in relatively the same orbital plane as GPS. That gravel would also deny an adversary their own usage permanently. Targeted DEW or anti-satellite missiles would definitely be something used though.

Who are now at the top of the HVT list.

DGPR 5 (?) on SharePoint has monthly health of every trade. Just some quick math on the numbers I remember, it might be worse than that honestly.

You can actually order NECU name tapes with CA crossed swords on them through Logistik, so very much allowed.

Former senior advisor to Justin Trudeau says all I need to know about that article.

We dont need mass right now. We need the capability, policy and doctrine to create mass in the future. It took how many years to generate the other Divisions for the Second World War? 2? 3?

CHCH News was the only ones that had it live. CBC News had a camera there (you could see the logo on the side of the video sometimes) but it wasn't live.
