    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    They are not "part of Brookfield." They are firms that Brookfield has invested in. Brookfield is an asset management company. They take investor money and return back more by picking winners in their chosen sectors of focus. Those chosen areas of focus cover a lot of strategic areas of...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Best for who, and for accomplishing what objective? Would that extend to barring Inter Pipeline from taking part in O&G expansion in the West? Genesee & Wyoming from bringing their expertise in First and Last Mile to open up the ring of fire?

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Does this vision call for three symmetrical tank regiments? This is kind of a key piece.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Hell, undertaken immediately to get all 74 remaining tanks to a common and not only deployable but state of the art configuration for the remainder of the hulls useful lives would be a massive interim capability upgrade. Buy time to sort out the comprehensive vision of what the RCAC needs to...

    Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

    Let me know how it goes, I've found that the follower is "tippy" and temperamental without full length shells pushing down uniformly. Rocks one end down without getting the high end low enough for the bolt to pass over.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    That's what I'm trying to get at- I don't think that's possible without him completely renouncing his agenda. BAM has been built around investing in exactly the kind of products/solutions/etc that he believes in. His platform is shaped around building the future Canadian economy around these...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    I think we are far greyer waters than that given the connections already being made. As we're seeing now, even following the Act there's a very good chance that there's going to be the appearance of impropriety. Carney puts us into a strange place in terms of conflict of interest. An economist...

    Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

    Picked up an old Mossberg 183 .410 at auction a few weeks back. Fun gun with 3"ers, but 2.5's are bitch to load.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Which is incredibly ironic- especially given Poilievre's comments about holding lobbyists in such disdain. Not a website I frequent, but came up when I was searching to find any post election commentary about her future in the party. https://pressprogress.ca/pierre-poilievre-jenni-byrne-lobbying/

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    To me his shortterm popularity and staying power will hinge on two things - housing and stability. Stability in the form of navigating the US spat and DJT with the least amount of harm to Canada. Housing as the single biggest item driving QoL/CoL issues in the country. If he can get quick...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    I think you're misreading it- Trudeau and his brand became toxic because of the legitimate scandals (not the flyshit from pepper ones), because of QoL dropping, because of housing prices. He (rightfully) wore and became the face of the difficulty of the times. Carney's CV gives him a...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    I've made no effort to hide my disdain for for the direction Poilievre and Byrne took the party, and am now vindicated in pointing out the potential shortfalls. I would love a CPC lead by Ambrose, that being said: I think it's in the best interests of the CPC to rally behind Pierre Poilievre IF...

    Canada's tanks

    What the infrastructure shopping list to support a full regiment of 55+ tonne MBT's + support vehicles at 2 of Petawawa/Gagetown/Valcartier?

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    That would likely depend entirely on whether the "education" was grounded and credible, or a rose tinted snow job analogous to the APP propaganda.

    Pipelines

    Ironically, that's pretty much what I was saying. Less provincial tribalism, more national patriotism. The alternative, cutthroat, and truly capitalist approach is to point out that said flammable mud is valueless if it cant get to market, and haggle over a fair cut for transit. @SeaKingTacco...

    Pipelines

    Good point. What I was trying (and apparently failing) at was a tongue in cheek call out that the provincial government of Alberta will fight hammer and tongs against both the specific mechanisms and prevailing approach and attitudes to resource development that the countries have used to ride...

    Pipelines

    @Kirkhill , I agree with the sentiment. I also think that directly nationalizing the governmental/societal benefit from the proceeds of extracting the nation's resources, strictly managing supply through a National cartel to ensure price consistency and sustainable profitable operation, and...

    Canada's tanks

    Perhaps a stupid question/stance. But to me 50 tonnes isn't a "light" tank, it's a main battle tank at the lighter end of the MBT spectrum. When I see the M8, or think about a 12-16t, 3 man crew vehicle designed from the ground up to balance and optimize the triangle (no compromizes or wasted...

    Canada's tanks

    But what was the likelihood that they would ever be faced with surface and aerial threats simultaneously?

    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    Pre: 2021 Membership- no. Post 2021 Membership- PP is the rightful captain robbed of his job by stupid Canadians. Group 2 is bigger. There's a debate to be had about which would control the delegates, but that only decides the review. Even if he were to lose that, back to the broader field.
