From what I can imagine: it makes sense to have our air force harmonized with the U.S. for sure. Our navy should be able to integrate as seamlessly as possible but that can be accomplished through systems integration on our own hulls i.e. radars. Armament as well since our most reliable source...

true, but there is grey and then there is black. China is in a special category of black. Their actions in the South China Sea, their actions towards Hong Kong and Taiwan their actions towards Ken and Julianne and the Michaels put them in a category all by themselves.

which would only drive us further into the hole. We need products going out to other countries, not a potential enemy moving in. China has seduced us with their low prices but those prices come on the backs of slave labour. Their silk road has bankrupted every country it has reached

If you are installing a pipeline, would you really need the rail link as well? Cost wise it would probably be cheaper to transport the building materials by rail to Churchill and barge it down. Spend the rail money on twinning or at least installing enough laybys to make for an efficient two...

From what I have been told, the ground between say Thompson and Port Nelson is more conducive to construction and the water around the port is deeper

lovely bit of news out of the War Zone for all aircraft lovers. Somehow Antonov has managed to preserve an AN-124 and Russia missed locating it. They flew it out yesterday to Germany so it will be back in service. Russia's air defenses have definitely been downgraded if they miss identifying...

have they sent a copy to the governor of California regarding their fires in the last couple of years?

and it would free them up to enter a lobbying firm.

take a good look at your education systems and the curriculum they promulgate. Next step is to read all the comments re: kids getting and keeping jobs and our requirements for foreign labour when unemployment is consistently over 5%. Finally, read the papers and the internet and see the...

Hegseth would have absolutely leaped at that opportunity.

Good luck with that. I dialed 10 minutes every morning for 3 months and throughout the day before finally making contact. how about the UN? That would save a bundle and we could forward that to Ukraine as our pledge.

would be interesting to compare 2015 staffing levels with the cuts made so far. Canada's population grew by roughly 10% between 2015 and 2024. The civil service expanded by 31%. By my math, a 20% cut in civil service sectors would still leave them with enough staff to handle the increase in...

Sounds more as if Ford is trying to catch the gravy train rather than a realistic solution. Attawapiskat is the closest any ship with a decent draft can approach Moosonee so it would mean dredging from there south (and then redoing it every year) or extending the rail line north. Pipeline...

The canal is open from March to January 1 normally so there is lots of season but how many 740 ft. lng carriers or shorter are actually in existence and how many would you need to maintain an annual supply?

so in 5 years they doubled and they ordered the commensurate kit, vehicles and weapons included to achieve it. Amazing what you can do when you have family members who remember when...... isn't it.

or simply that Quebec wants the cash, Norway will pay, and NG is no longer dirty so it is Greta approved (almost)

But would they trade even or want something else on top? It would certainly help out and provide the fleet of 4 that we should have. On the other hand, do we actually have the hulls to put together a Canadian Task group realistically? I ask as someone with only cursory knowledge of what is...

feel good meets reality. Feel good loses every time.

seems more like hegseth has a hard on for Ukraine. Can't quite figure whether he is just acting as Trump's foil or if he is acting on his own at least some of the time. Either way it is a tough duo for Zelensky to go up against.

oh yeah, forgot about that rules do get in the way don't they. You could keep them, move them to the reserves and recruit Conair pilots to fly them part time. There is always a workaround if you want it or need it.:p
