    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    When the Liberals replaced the top classifying officer in place for their own choice things changed. The government refers to advice from the RCMP experts often in their change in classification. The government has said numerous times they use the expert advice from the RCMP for reclassiying...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Except the RCMP are the experts who were consulted for the classification changes. They were the ones who worked closely with and approved the various Canadian Firearms manufactures design for compliant firearms. Only to turn around and restrict them. When the government let go the previous...

    CDN/US Covid-related political discussion

    I think as the next year or so goes on we will see more truth to the mandates, vaccines and such. There are lots of lawsuits currently happening through out Europe and the United States. Not to mention the pay out the vaccine manufactures have already done over seas. Funny thing in Canada is...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Most people's experience/ knowledge of the Military is based off news articles. Those have not been the best for the past 10 or more years. Those public and school engagements are so important to making the Military visible to the public.. The report said young people are unaware. Who's...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    You have missed the point completely. One is not going to recruit the person right out of school as much as they use to. Why are young people not flocking to the Military is no surprise or shouldn't be. To many rules and responsibilities. Along with scandle after scandal in the news media, to...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    First thing anyone can do in recruiting is stop hiring "experts" with degrees and masters in HR to run numbers to hire the best qualified applicant. Most if not all the metrics they bring to the table have been spoken about and known since time immoral. But they put a spin on them all and try...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    You nailed the main issue. People are not willing to "sacrifice" People want big money, big benefits for entry level performance/ positions with little to any sacrifice. One has to make sacrifices if they want to buy that house, buy that boat and have the vacations in warm places in the...

    Buy a wicked ghetto blaster and play Johnny Cash and or Stompin' Tom every morning extremely loud to wake everyone up. Play it especially on the weekends, evenings etc. Even turn it on and leave the shacks. Lol that one will get a interesting response. Make sure its on loop play. Hopefully your...

    Former Canadian Pilots Training PLAAF

    I wonder how the pilot training school in Red Deer did when the rumors came out they may be training Chinese military pilots. Not the commercial pilots they were told.

    Reconstitution

    How much of that is the shipyard dragging their feet and making more money for less work? Or "the experts" deferring critical work for a year or five and then going wow we didn't know that was so bad. It would be interesting to have a external audit performed on ship maintenance while in dry...

    Reconstitution

    I still find it hard to believe a ship yard can not perform a structural fix on a ships hull that makes it as good as new or better. Engine mechanical problems are even harder to understand why those can't be fixed. Bad engine put a new one in. Bad gear box install a new one.

    The War in Ukraine

    The concerns are to do with direct attacks on Moscow and how that could be perceived as a threat to their state. I am 50/50 if he is dumb enough to do so.

    SEP 2024 - Kiel Institute Report - "Fit for war in decades: Europe's and Germany's slow rearmament vis-a-vis Russia"

    My understanding is GDLS does not want to loose production capability in Canada. It goes past just making shell bodies. But includes the raw materials required for the bodies, propellant and explosives.

    The War in Ukraine

    I am pretty sure the hesitation of allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory using western Missiles is as simple as Russia's use of Nukes. If they see incoming missiles towards Moscow from Ukraine they will declare self defense and retaliate using their Strategic Nuclear force...

    SEP 2024 - Kiel Institute Report - "Fit for war in decades: Europe's and Germany's slow rearmament vis-a-vis Russia"

    A few here are selling Canadian Industry short. What Canada does and does well is the small things for the larger base. Coatings to prolong the life of rifle, gun and artillery barrels. Production of senser parts for various equipment such as night vision, thermal optics, radars, sonars etc...

    GBAD - The return of 'FOBS'

    A kid with a laser pointer may or may not look like a weapon. Usually looked like a laser pointer. The only guys who had lasers on weapons were spec op guys on our side that I seen at the time. Lasers could caused eye damage and wrecked critical sensors causing other issues. Your just a gem...
