The LPC took Châteauguay—Les Jardins-de-Napierville, meaning we now have a dedicated gun control individual whose main political motive is ridding Canada of all firearms ownership. We will see if she ends up in cabinet or with a public safety nexus. Either way no matter what the else the LPC...

What could a Conservative ask for that a Liberal would even possibly consider conceding on? Would the LPC walk back their gun control fanatism in exchange for bipartisan support on defence, foreign policy etc.

The US Army has been running the Aimpoint FCS on their 84mm since 2019 I believe. 3 RCRs experience with it during an industry demo where Saab and Aimpoint brought the M4 and the FCS was eye opening. The capability was outstanding. That was about 6-7 years ago now I think.

Should have specified. Those are for the 84mm.

Has anyone seen the Aimpoint FCS in the hands of a Cdn soldier yet? Apparently they are in Latvia and have been for about 2 years. No one I have seen or spoken with even knew they were in theatre.

CMAR is ultimately still a M16 platform.

If the LPC were serious about defence they would explain how they are going to get to 2% and sustain it. They would explain how they will either cut spending in some programs and redirect it to defence or state they will deficit finance the whole deal. Since they have not done that I guess...

It’s not the size that is the issue per se, it’s the number of units and the type of units that are all competing for that space. We will see how it goes soon enough but in my opinion the CA should not be planning for its major collective training to be occurring in Latvia due to both size and...

https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2025/04/15/f-35-nations-prize-spare-parts-as-us-dismisses-kill-switch-angst/ This article has some interesting information on the F35 supply chain as well as the 1-4 Line maintenance construct. Curious to see if Canada sets up a National 4th Line...

Forgive me but f I don’t believe anything Trudeau said or says under oath or not without extensive corroborating source evidence. The man has not earned any trust or respect in his word in of itself, and that partisan display during the inquiry should not be considered as evidence of anything...

Honestly the Latvian training areas can’t handle this. Adazi is beyond maxed out and the new areas being opened will only be enough to alleviate the pressures already existing.

Encouraging saving for retirement also ensures that there is a pool of capital available for investment in businesses.

It’s an interesting argument to make that the federal public service can’t ever possibly be shrank. According to GoC numbers between 2010 and 2023 the federal public service increased by 26.2%. From 282,980 to 357,247. It went from .83% of Canada’s population to .90% increased even faster than...

In terms of the new BOREALIS, why not just expand DRDC? Most successful defence export nations are underpinned by extensive domestic military expenditure on those very systems that are then exported. Is the LPC intent to massively expand the CAFs procurements and move towards a continuous...

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/federal_election/carney-says-pipelines-not-necessarily-among-major-projects-to-prioritize So what exactly is the LPC stance on pipelines and how will Canada become an energy superpower?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-oppo-csfn-1.7509217 Yet another example of how the LPC thinks. Deliberate disinformation campaign concocted by LPC staffers who obviously operate in an environment that seems to either tacitly or explicitly be okay with it.

The only issue is that concepts of “ideas” “best interests” “principles of democracy” “morals” “competent” and “common sense” don’t all share a universal understanding of what that’s entails. They are all open to subjective opinions.

I am not convinced that the SCC is correct in their assessment of mandatory minimums etc. The courts overall are very clearly part of the problem now due to mindset and inclination. It’s a problem shared with the Correctional system...

Not necessarily SOF related but here a few thoughts: 1. Less personnel churn. Personnel need to be in a specific position for 2-3 years. Not switch job and function every 3-4 months. 2. Units need to be staffed to something like 105%. This is too allow for personnel stability and ease of...
