    2022 CPC Leadership Discussion: Et tu Redeux

    Attributing the quote also sends a notification to the person being quoted, allowing timelier responses in order to clarify, provide context, rebut etc.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    The photo of documents arranged on the floor wasn't leaked, it was included in a DOJ court filing.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    To be fair, he started with "one could say" which is by no means definitive. You don't seem to start your attacks with any disclaimer either. Just sayin'.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Feel free to provide the context of Trump's call to Georgia Sec'y of State Raffensperger. The full transcript of the call is published by various sources online. While you're at it, address the attempt to replace state-certified electors with an alternate slate of electors, the dozens of court...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    That's a pretty convenient way to minimize past actions. Politicians and pundits employing "overturn" and "illegitimate" election rhetoric tend to fall in line once the losing candidate publicly concedes. That's why "they failed to incite anyone sufficiently" in 2016. Or, as you suggest...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Hilary Clinton called Donald Trump to concede. She also asked her supporters to accept the results of the election. Obama, the Clintons, Carter all attended Donald Trump's inauguration.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Of course, people will act if a desire is strong enough, but it's quite a leap to assume malfeasance will be the result. There is nothing wrong with either party taking action based on their desires and beliefs. If Democrats (or Republicans) wish to introduce legislation in order to advance...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Thanks. My point was to address your claim that: "Democrats are the ones who most often express desire to change the fundamental rules for elections (eg. electoral college); to stack or otherwise alter the USSC; to add states purely for the purpose of rebalancing the senate; to narrow the...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Donald Trump falsely claimed election fraud before, during, and after election. He pressured state officials to invalidate results. He pressured state officials to "find" votes for him. He actively and publicly encouraged disruption of the counting of Electoral College votes. He and his...

    3 Wing Change of Command “Delayed”

    To be precise, the article mentions comments made at the gathering, not the call-signs themselves... Edit to add: your statement isn't wrong though

    Former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe Assassinated

    "In Japan, like in China and Korea, the first name follows the family name. A person with the first name "Ichiro" and the family name "Suzuki" is, therefore, called "Suzuki Ichiro" rather than "Ichiro Suzuki"." https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2271.html

    Canada - The Last Super Power

    Fair point. I'm not under the impression that Canada could be (or should be) a super power - but it would certainly be a refreshing change to have a government able to undertake meaningful, ambitious projects (any portfolio) that could benefit all, instead of short-sighted voter pandering. I...

    Canada - The Last Super Power

    We'd also need a government/political party willing to commit to a grand strategy or vision for the country, instead of myopically focussing on "winning the next election" ...

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    Just for clarification: who takes over the air rescue mission from the RCAF? Do you envision CCG and RCMP operating SAR aircraft fleets?

    I think you're correct. Strange that they're both wearing that badge to a totally unrelated CoC ceremony...

    Surface Warfare Officer badge

    Any idea what badge VAdm Topshee is wearing here at his CoC ceremony? VAdm Auchterlonie is wearing one as well.

    CF-18 High pitch angle

    Generally, the slower you go, the higher the required AoA will be in order to maintain a given altitude. Disclaimer: I'm not a fighter pilot

    Russia Threatens to Detach Their Module from the ISS

    Should the title of this thread be modified to reflect that the attached video is, in fact, a Russian propaganda video - not factual whatsoever? The Russian module has not been detached from ISS, despite what the title of this thread directly states.

    Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

    I'll just note that the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency does report to Parliament, and is intended to complement the work of the NSICOP. As an independent agency reporting to Parliament, perhaps it may be seen to be less vulnerable to potential partisan abuse or political...

    Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

    Since 2018, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians has fulfilled a role similar to what you are suggesting. https://www.nsicop-cpsnr.ca/index-en.html From the website: "The National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians Act mandates the...
