    Leopards and Abrams pop turrets too. One video I watched said the Leopards were dying fairly easily in Syria. I think it was the 2A4 variant.

    Hospital ship for Canada

    Wasn't Asterix supposed to be able to convert the vehicle deck to a hospital of sorts for disaster response? I seem to remember something like that when she was first advertised

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Interesting so basically what they sail with is what they have for the duration of the mission. They have to find a port or a sheltered Harbour to reload. It makes dropping the 8 cells more serious than I first imagined. I guess I assumed they sailed with spares in the magazine that they could...

    "As for the coalition, organizers are planning to hold rallies in British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Ontario from Friday to Sunday. They will also unfurl a banner on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill." Our government is all about public opinion. Remember that Trudeau rules by opinion poles. If no one...

    https://globalnews.ca/news/9393036/montreal-protest-f-35-fighter-jet-deal/ 😡😡😡 Maybe it's time we organize a protest to BUY the F-35 quickly, and in much larger numbers. This is ridiculous. Why does no one seem concerned about our security?

    I'm a heavy truck mechanic, every company everywhere is short mechanics. Why would any of them join the reserves and get paid less than their regular job for the same work? Not to mention the extra duties like reserve training and drill. Just the pain to get and maintain security clearance to...

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    A plumber told me he only uses copper pipe on government buildings. Tha architect always specs copper on government buildings because it costs more and their fee is based on the total building cost. The more expensive the building the more the architect makes.
