    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    The LPC is a master at this, and they never really get called on their flip flops.

    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    Am I the only one who sees the absolute hypocrisy that is the Liberal Party of Canada. It's truly breathtaking that they can change their spots with such ease and without paying a price.

    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    I love how 9.5 years of Trudeau, his cohort, and their policies can be flushed down the toilet with such ease. It is truly a miracle of the hold the LPC has on this country. Cripes even Gerry Butts has been resurrected from purgatory. "All is forgiven Ger, you have a clean slate to do what you...

    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I'm thinking that some of the ideas about increasing defence procurement coming from LPC and NDP will be in the vicinity of Unicorns farting skittles out of their ass. The CPC ideas will be Beluga whales farting skittles. Still mainly a fantasy, but at least the Belugas are real.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I’m not convinced at all that any of the parties will come through on their defence promises that they’ll make (if any) on this election.

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Interesting podcast with Procurement Canada Deputy Minister and Seaspan’s CEO. Near the end Seaspan says that they are 18 months to 2 years away from laying off designers. He said projects like the Corvettes need to be on the runway because Canada has spent billions getting this expertise and we...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    So with the F-35, P8 and potentially a Wedgetail. Will Canada be looking closely at the Loyal Wingman idea as a force multiplier?

    Official name now. CSC is being somewhat scrubbed from documents. But I’m sure DA will correct me on my claim. 😏
