You just reminded me of how much I miss Word Perfect. :)

So the BHP will end up with a service life similar to the Brown Bess?

About 10 years ago, I was in Les Invalides in Paris and they had a M101 Howitizer (C1 in Canadian service) on display. As there were no ropes or security cameras, proceeded to see if I remembered my training from 20 years previous and removed the breach, disassembled the firing lock. Then at my...

Looks like 25 pounder round to me. Likely HE. We had some dummy ones in the armories back in the day and that matches my recollection of the size and shape. Ubique Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can’t help but notice that “Spencer” is not a common Korean surname. I don’t imagine one would find much support for this point of view within the Korean Canadian community. Though admittedly that is just speculation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The heaviest armament on their main combatant is a 76mm gun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorio_del_Pilar-class_offshore_patrol_vessel?wprov=sfti1 The Philippine Navy has a total of 3 of these, everything else is of Kingston Class size. I imagine a single CPF could deal with the Filipino...

True, but could be entertaining though. Their most significant surface combatants are 3 USCG Hamilton Class cutters. But they do have a LPD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Equipment_of_the_Philippine_Navy?wprov=sfti1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It even made the news here in Ireland. RTÉ is the Irish equivalent to the CBC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's awesome!

ERC, I couldn't agree more with your post. Are you running for "Regent of Canada"?

I agree, I would compare the situation to the Martin era Liberals, where the LPC was clearly past it's best before date, but the Conservatives were not yet viewed as "ready for prime time".  I can forsee a the CPC reduced to a minority government in the next election and a Trudeau (god help us)...

As a life long Tory, it saddens me to say it, but I think the CPC has allready become stale and corrupt as evidenced by the steady trickle of scandals erupting around various Senators and MPs. Certain members seem to have entered the "terminal entitlement" phase of the political life cycle. My...

Off topic and a bit OCD, but I notice that the article spelled "Department of National Defence" as "Defense". I understand that some news papers follow American spelling and that the Canadian Press wire service historically has, but the proper name of the department is spelled with a C rather...

How about the HMCS Battle of Groningen or HMCS Groningen, honour a major World War 2 victory by the Canadian Army, and being a Dutch city, a way to thank those good folks for cutting us a deal.

I think given the history of our main stream media in this country, the CPC are in a no-win situation on the MHP acquisition. Even though the MHP program and the Victoria Class acquisition were initiated by the prior Liberal government you continue to see no end of handwringing in the press...

I was issued that once, a very long time ago. The lagoon green shirt was lovely.

Don't forget to lobby to rename the "Canadian Army" back to "Force Mobile Command", but only after it has been allready been renamed "Active Militia", which is even more historical.
