    Replacing the Subs

    That also assumes that governments don't change between now and delivery... If Germany says, "we want all our boats now, Canada can wait", since TKMS will be making them in Germany, Canada will wait. Going with an option that has the production capacity to build our boats faster from the start...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    The problem is, there is always a careerist who promises the moon to the bosses, knowing full well they won't be around to deal with the mess they've made. My trade did it 18 years ago, and appears set to make things even worse in the coming months/years. The CAF needs to stop pretending that...

    How much is TKMS paying you?

    Leave - mbr has none left

    I'm guessing most of us who see a problem, see it as a problem because the member likely used up leave to deal with issues of some variety that haven't gone away, and likely the member is likely to expect more time-off in the future. Since we haven't received any more information, there is no...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    This goes back to US foreign policy that intentionally kept the European/Western aligned powers weak, so that they couldn't stand-up to America too hard. It was intentional policy, that was designed to ensure that America had the final say in decisions. America right now is trying to suck and...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Which was their plan all along. They forced the other powers to give up their empires so that America could safely stay #1. The people complaining now are the people who are living with the reality their predecessors set-up. We did it with America's support, right up until it was politically...

    We should, which is likely why the 3.5% of GDP defence spending is getting support from even the LPC. In an increasingly dangerous world, Canada needs to be more prepared to defend its interests at home and abroad.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    The world being dependant on the US made the world overall a much safer place. As the US retreats, other powers will seek to fill the power vacuum left behind, which will result in more land/resource grab wars like the one in Ukraine. It's less about wanting the US in charge, and more about...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    You don't cut current pay, you make changes to future deployments. The same way they have changed SDA and other allowances for follow-on deployments in the past. The other 90% didn't stop deploying when their pay was "cut" so I suspect the 10% of reservists won't either. Particularly with the...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Lots of RegF people do that too, when they are deploying with a unit that isn't from their base.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    If you expect to be paid like them, expect to be posted like them... That's the extra 8% pay.

    I suspect it varies by unit quite a bit. I've only seen it abused in one case.

    Anti-Tank Platoon or Anti-Tank Battery? - 24 Vertical Launch JAGMs on a WAPC

    I'm just a weather dude, but back in the Senator chats you were criticizing them for not being JTLVs... So, is the JTLV a platform from the last war, or the standard against witch all future personnel transport should be judged? As a missile platform, how is the proposed ATGM platform worse...

    Anti-Tank Platoon or Anti-Tank Battery? - 24 Vertical Launch JAGMs on a WAPC

    I suspect "forward launching" adds both length, and complexity. The people who made the system aren't dumb, so I suspect they tried to make a VLS as small and portable as possible. Sometimes a longer reach/bigger gun is just bigger.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Nobody has said the CPC didn't make missteps. What I, and others, have said is that their loss of the election had as much, maybe more to do with "events" as it did with their mistakes.

    Your TDS is showing... Again, your take that the CPC "fucked it up massively" says more about your position than it does about the CPC's performance in the last election.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    If you decide to conveniently ignore the reality that Canadian media have for the last few decades compared the CPC, and the predecessor parties to the Republicans that makes some sense. Regardless of who was the leader, the media and the LPC would have drawn comparisons between the CPC leader...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    So for option A, try to out NDP the NDP like the LPC did? Not very conservative... They would bleed their entire base to the LPC or some other new party if they tried that. The CPC did effectively politic to bring down the LPC, and the NDP were too dumb to take advantage of it. The NDP...

    That assumes the Koreans didn't already factor the Polish contract into their pitch to us, and that they have no ability to expand production.

    An RCD is useless if it can't keep up with the LAVs on the highway.
