I stand corrected. It was previously stated that it would only be an Economic Statement in the fall, not a full budget. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/no-federal-budget-impact-1.7536200 There was significant criticism of this when announced which is likely why they changed it to a fall Budget.

With the new US vs The World paradigm and Canada coming to the realization that we need to diversify our international trade does there come the possibility that Canada may have to project force in order to protect our economic interests without international (i.e. US) involvement/support? Does...

That would be good news. Do you have a reference?

But only 2% of the targets

No reason they have to design military ships is there? Might be hard to compete with the Koreans, etc. on general commercial ships but I imagine there are plenty of specialty ships for industry that could compete for. Conversions as well?

The two highlighted comments seem to contradict each other ;) Joint Venture or domestic end product doesn't matter to me. It's domestic production to me that counts. We need a secure domestic supply so that product is available when we need it. Agreed 100% that volume is a big key to this...

With Canada having a pretty extensive aerospace industry you'd think that UAV's and loitering munitions would definitely be areas where we could be competitive. It would likely require CAF buy-in (literally) to kick start the industry by providing enough demand to allow companies to scale up...

In what way did I change your words in my response? You made a reference to the British and French doctrinal focus in the post WWI years being mistakenly focused on the incorrect lessons from their previous conflict and I simply noted that the same criticism could be made with our current...

Why the "Royal We" of course! ;) Hopefully lots of discussion though takes place before decisions. I'm certainly not suggesting that anything "get thrown out the window" but I think it's clear that the battlefield of today has the potential to look very different than it did just 10 years...

How should we view the role of tanks and the organization of our Armoured Regiments in general in light of the apparent American re-evaluation of the role of the tank? Are we aiming to build the army of 2020 in 2030 when things have radically changed on the battlefield since then? Do we need...

If only "WE" had deep strike munitions to give to Ukraine...

To be fair, who could have predicted that building the facility at an uninhabited, abandoned site would pose more sustainment challenges than building at an existing, populated year-round location?

A simple description of L1/L2/L3 that I found on Redit (so stand to be corrected)

So.....yet more delays to the planned 2015 of the Nanisivik Naval Facility. https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/naval-facility-in-canadian-arctic-stalled-by-concerns-with-jetty/ What a :poop: show by a very unserious "Arctic" nation.

Hence my comment:

I'm wondering if the "Continental" part of the "Continental Defence Corvette" refers to the proposed idea of using these ships as a networked ABM platform rather than them being "home game" rather than "away game" ships. No doubt, if that's the case they wouldn't necessarily require extended...

Once upon a time it was called a "starter home" not a shitbox.

I think you meant the People's Front of Judea!
