It called "controlled opposition" This give Trudeau cover to increase or in really not shrink the defence budget. Anything on CBC or the MSM is pasted though the Liberal machine first.

Because there is talk and then there are real PO's. Real PO's that will get paid gets you real companies that make real things. You give me a real PO I will find the capital, resources, etc. But the problem is getting to a PO. The procurement systems in Canada and really all the west...

Well hope springs eternal. I would have also hoped we are not governed by someone who needs to go though the same stages as an addict. PS.....No offense to addicts. I have time for them. They should have help.

Its been a moment, I think the US Government was billed and paid the line closing costs. And some tooling was retained (spares and future need etc.) Not as much as the F-22 but some. I think you would need approval. But why would they not approve? As long its not China or Russia?

Hmmmmm looks around......but about that Bell 407! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_MQ-8C_Fire_Scout MQ-8C Fire Scout is a Bell 407..........

Over/Under Time Tomorrow is leap day. 40 years to the day a PM took a walk in the snow! Justin likes doing the things his father did. There is a not zero chance he does it. Will his common sense override is narcissism? I'm going with 45% chance.

February 29 is fast approaching........Leap day forty years ago......Dad did something..... Will it be enough to save the Liberal Party.......I'm betting it could be.

It's amazing thing that these issues come up at just the right times........

Too be fair.....they would like think they were first....or at least in power since 1979. 610AD is the start date.

Yes of course. I was just using it as an example of an in production ship. But I was under the impression that BIW and HHI has zero capacity to produce anymore than what is on order now. The repair yards are backup to sky too.

But Xi has built a more centralized "cult of personality" than Mao. Some are now saying he has gone farther in centralizing control in himself. Now the universities are in direct control of the party and Xi. He has eliminated elements in the other main opposing faction and also put a lid on...

Plus to add the US shipbuilding yards have some would say less than zero extra capacity to build anything for anyone other than the US government. They are working on more capacity but it sounds like a long way away. I bet if we ordered a Constitution it would be a long time before we see...

One small point the Twelver's are the same people running the country. And here in lies the problem.

Bingo I do have to hand it to Justin and the Liberals they have not swerved from their goal. They have been the most stay on track and not move from it government I have ever seen. They are following the plan to tee. Its god awful and a horrible plan and no one will like the destination but...

I suspect many in Ottawa are looking at this plan right now. But with a different eye to it. At least Canberra takes the situation as serious. They still want frontline tier 1 and tier 2 combatants plus more VLS's. But need something cheaper...so this plan. I just think the Tier 2 ships...

Or go to Naval (which did offer it) and get the parent French design or go to Fincantieri and get their base design. And then go though the same process that was done with the T-26 for the RCN. LOL. OZ is going to learn again that the saving will be nothing....cut the Hunter class to 6 and...

Sorry but :) :)

It drives me crazy that wasted potential in this country. We were given the greatest gifts of any country on this earth. And yet we strive for the mediocre. We could be the richest, free, and happiest country in the world. First we have natural resources galore, in minerals, in energy, in...

Putin had to do what XI told him and push it past the Olympics. As aside...How screwed up is that...."Vad my dear could you push you little war after my winter party?" Hmmm K? "It doesn't look good for the TV when we hand out metals to the Ukrainian ski team and your killing their brothers."

Just ask Kari Lake (please don't get into her I'm just using the example that came out yesterday) I just wish they would unveil the "people out east" Almost every western nation would be better off if the local riding/electoral/district would just put up the candidates the local...
