Eh- individuals pay into CPP, not provinces. Having individuals grandfather themselves out makes some sense- just like someone that moves but carries their accrued entitlement with them. What got my eyes rolling is the cartoonish plan of -> take on none of the financial burdens of nationhood ->...

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-alberta-prosperity-project-referendum-question-1.7532890 These aren't fiscal conservatives- they're either financially illiterate, or self interested wankers that want to knowingly put future Albertans onto an even faster crash course with...

The first comment on the Ivison article is very telling. It's hard to answer dreams of milk and honey with pragmatism. Kenney's right that "they" are "winning" the argument against the ecozealots- the tide has turned against racing to shutdown the O&G industry like its shameful. But that will...

Sorry, will try to explain myself more clearly, I left out the underlying assumption that LdSH already has tanks. 2x tank regiments - LdSH and RCD 2x Mech Bn - 1 PPCLI and 2 RCR in 2x 1+1 Regional regional groupings, 1 West, 1 East. So the middle case, 4 actual maneuver units totaling 6 tank...

Hence the second question in my post. Noodling in my head what it would like if 2RCR and 1 PPCLI were the only mech, and RCD was fully equipped with tanks and moved to Gagetown. Would it be one geographically split heavy Bde with commensurate CS and CSS, or could you go overweight with CS/CSS...

Is a square combat team based on a 19 tank Squadron a unit or a sub-unit? Where I'm going with that, how thin would it be to take the CS and CSS elements of a Bde, an administrative Type 59 tank regiment and a full mech battalion, and fight the Bde with 3x square combat teams as your maneuver...

It's an IFV, not a tank. The 40mm's success against older tanks allowed the Swedes to go a different direction than the Bradley/Marder etc.- relying on the gun for self defense rather than mounting ATGM's. With that luxury going away current/future model CV90's are getting missiles. The gun...

What's the context of the above discussion, especially as it pertains to Canada? Are we talking about a fire support system to be held organic to a LIB or LAV Bn in the CS Coy, or an RCAC capability designed to be attached at the scale of a sqn / sqn (-) to add teeth/weight/mobility to an LIB...

Drone based 21st century evolution of SOSUS/SURTASS

Ha, true. But I was talking about Colin Campbell continuing to be soft on teams associated with Greg.

Kinda like self-identifying and taxing as rugged conservatives while spending and providing social services/ safety nets like socialists. It's a house of cards propped up by O&G royalties, without a meaningful nest egg built up for "what comes next"

This conversation has drifted pretty far from a decently reliable data point showing a very concerning weak point within the CPC membership. That more than half are doubting elections is a concern in and of itself. Inference as to where that doubt came from, and how influenceable that group...

Threatening to isolate yourself as a landlocked sovereign nation in response to not being granted access to tidewater? Brilliant. Threatening to turn your domestic customer base into a foreign customer base if they don't shape the market exactly as you demand? Brilliant Complaining about Federal...

This will be one of the mountains PP needs to climb if he wants to un-unite the left against him. Needs to find away to lead his base, not just harness them.

It's crazy how having the AGM's Dad as the Head of Player Safety's boss helps prevent accountability for the dirtiness. And how the same relationship dates back to the AGM's playing days when his dad was the actual head of player safety. And it's crazy how the NHL tolerates the blatant conflict...

Not you, her. I think you were right on the money about her deliberately tanking PP, because thats the deliberately inflamatory demand list you throw on the table in order to A. Inevitably point to not everything getting met. B. Provoke responses from well, everyone, that you can use to...

I've been waffling on this one. Did the CPC make a massive strategic misstep by painting Trudeau and Singh with the same brush? The LPC shed the millstone of the 2022-2024 period when Trudeau stepped down, the Singh was the rope that kept the NDP tied to it. On one hand- before April 28th it...

Sure, the Margaritaville guy's lame brother right?

Apt comparison, though even money that anyone that isn't familiar with Brookfield and what they do isn't familiar with BH either. My overall point was that they invest in, as you say "high quality business", and are very good at it. Self selecting to remove these firms from the field when they...
