It reminds me of a BattleTech SRM launcher. It's cool to see MechWarrior/BattleTech getting closer to reality.

I stated it as the reality of politics. The leader of the opposition in reality has two jobs. Their job as leader of the official opposition, and their job as leader of their political party. The leader of the CPC's job is to convince voters that the CPC should be the next government. The...

If it was the other way around, and Carney was leader of the Opposition, he'd be doing the same thing. It's what the leader of the opposition always does... The real test is whether or not the CPC under PP's leadership work with the LPC to get things done. So far, the PM has said the CPC is...

The LCVP would be a better option for going ashore in Alert, but if supplies were being transferred, it would be Alert passing things to the ship. Alert has weekly sustainment flights, as well as several other periods of major resupply (Boxtop) using C-130s and C-17s.

To be clear, I think the entire thing is insane, so having footage of the shooter escaping with low level parkour is well within the realm of internet insane. We aren't all seasoned investigators with decades of investigative experience to make us jaded about surveillance footage.

I suspect you've hit a key issue facing most police forces right now. Most of our highly educated police officers view themselves as above routine patrol work. They want to do the high-speed stuff, and don't want to be "stuck" doing routine things like traffic or other patrol duties. Maybe we...

Well... this isn't WWII, so the threat is lower. Add to that the fact that the business of shipping will continue for some time even if the CCG decides to illegally strike, since the buoys are already out. I'm not suggesting the GoC lock out the CCG, I'm simply pointing out that the average...

I don't have a strong opinion on this one way or another, but I wonder if the unions might not have the strong hand they may think they do. The average Canadian doesn't have much patience for unions right now, so if the union tries any shenanigans, they may find that the government can trample...

Rather than blame a voting system, why not place the blame on political parties that are captured by their most extreme elements? Creating PR isn't going to magically change America into a multiparty system, it will just change the way the two parties get voted into power.

The RCMP will need to find ways to attract recruits, just the every other police force, military, and emergency service. The secret isn't rocket surgery... Either pay more and offer better work life balance, or lower standards until less people are turned away. Like the CAF, I suspect the...

I can't stand that guy... He's making sense, and removing reasons for me to despise the LPC.

I figure a few more MP Sgts interfering in family court, and taking families to baseball games might get the point across.

The CAF is also short a few thousand bodies, so which federal organization short thousands of skilled workers should bear the burden? I'm not suggesting making the change overnight, but as far as options go, it makes more sense to me, than keeping our current MP model which produces an MP that...

Are they "conveniently forgetting" or are they genuinely forgetting, because there is so much push from the online world about every dumb thing, like this, that many people forget the real events because they are overwhelmed with outrage and "major" events?

Agreed, why reinvent the wheel when we have a perfectly serviceable federal police service already established. Create a "Military Policing" branch with the RCMP, and have real police doing police work so the CAF can focus on security.

My understanding is that PSP covers those sorts of clubs as well, since the fall under Morale and Welfare services, just like the messes. The best bet would be to speak with the local PSP manager, and see what comes from that meeting.

I suspect it's more a case of "How long ago did he fall from a window?".

Alphabetically; British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. It's how Confederation works, and you know it as well as every other Canadian. It's just that Alberta, like Quebec are the squeaky wheels...

Great idea, we should look for more ways to give money to our next real adversary.

I suspect they don't actually care, it's just a point about how sales numbers can be a bit misleading. GM sells more full-sized trucks than Ford, even thought he F-150 is the sales king. Also Ford sucks, but that's just an opinion... 😉
