Who said she couldn't be both?

I find interesting this passage in the article on Alberta's independence rally: "In March, Smith threatened a “national unity crisis” if the next prime minister doesn’t acquiesce to a list of her demands within six months, but reiterated this week that she supports a sovereign Alberta within a...

I assume you mean you "disagree on the frigate sized USV". In that case, I agree with you: Anything unmanned has to be small and cheap - and entirely disposable even if only for security reasons (i.e. if we remotely note it is about to be boarded, or it itself notes that, or it loses contact...

Read this in the style of the Ten Commandments: And the God of Hockey spoke unto Sanderson: "Go and shoot the puck from the blue line". Sanderson: "But Lord, there are too many blue and white shirts between me and the net, the shot will be blocked" God of Hockey: "I will guide the puck...

Any one noticed in the video of the Trump / Zelensky face to face at the Vatican that French president Macron shakes hand and embraces Zelensky warmly while cold shouldering Trump when he tried to shake hands with Macron? Definitely an intentional slight to Trump from the French diplomacy. I...

Is it just me, or is the Trump administration just figuring out that it's a hell of a lot easier to start a war than to end one? Especially if you try to be an external party to the peace accord as a commercial partner (i.e. profit from the peace accord).

Not quite Bread Guy. The "Go Habs Go" slogan is actually so ingrained in our hockey in Montreal that it is trademarked: Don't believe me, look up the Canadian trademark registered under TMA838120.

Wouldn't that be double counting? Because I am sure the other NATO nations with "dibs" on those missiles in stock would count them towards their own 3%.

We certainly have all the engineering knowledge base in all of the relevant engineering fields, but these engineers currently work in various corporations interested in one aspect or the other, whether it be aeronautical, explosives, guidance, AI or electronic warfare, etc. etc. The next...

Except RSM's

Why not, after all, the Americans:

Which is why we are now gonna have a Defense Procurement Department. :ROFLMAO:

We all know that such Roshels would instantly become recognized by the media and you average Canadian as "tanks".

Exactly. Just like the OHP's were a cheap, fast and numerous line in the 70's to make up for the reduction in destroyers when the "high-end" Spruance class destroyers couldn't be built quickly enough or in sufficient numbers to replace the older Farragut and Adams class.

Well, Ingalls proposed a US design based on its USCG Legend class cutter that would have fit the bill, but the USN picked the FREMM class anyway. Their bad!

If Marinette is a 100% subsidiary of Italy's Fincantieri, does that mean that they have to add 10% tariff on each ship?

I've long been advocating for the fleet school to be relocated in a single, nice, modern (I would almost say luminous) large scale campus - Community college style - built at Albert Head (I know, MTOG may not like it), complete with residences for the students that do not live locally, and some...

After reading the report, I thought the bridge set up - with the No 4 and No 5 thrusters levers set in two different consoles on either side of an "open space" where the officer maneuvering the ship stands - to be a very non naval set up. It likely harks back to the original incarnation of the...

When we got the R class in the naval reserve (Rapid and Rally), we nicknamed them "submarines". ;)
