An interesting take on the 🇮🇳 story. Although today’s events will dominate for the rest of the week or more. https://open.substack.com/pub/markmcqueen/p/full-marks-for-a-crafty-media-leak?r=g8vpl&utm_medium=ios

Candaland had Paul Wells on this morning. Paul mentioned the report and the lack of heat and light it got from the government and (of course) Canadians. https://www.canadaland.com/podcast/1130-is-the-media-biased-for-carney/

The expanded mandate (I think) will be limited to contributing to the Recognized Maritime Picture (RMP). Which is actually a huge plus and may just require some communications upgrades to the current and future CCG fleet.

The 1963 general election was the most egregious act of foreign interference. But it’s fine because it was JFK and the Democrats who pulled out all stops to help Pearson get elected. Though he only got a minority even with all the yankee dirty tricks on his side...

The LPC is a master at this, and they never really get called on their flip flops.arty is in play who get raked over the coals no matter what level of hypocrisy.

The LPC is a master at this, and they never really get called on their flip flops.

Am I the only one who sees the absolute hypocrisy that is the Liberal Party of Canada. It's truly breathtaking that they can change their spots with such ease and without paying a price.

I love how 9.5 years of Trudeau, his cohort, and their policies can be flushed down the toilet with such ease. It is truly a miracle of the hold the LPC has on this country. Cripes even Gerry Butts has been resurrected from purgatory. "All is forgiven Ger, you have a clean slate to do what you...

So, that the polls turned so dramatically in the LPCs favour had nothing to do with Anand and now Fraser having reversed their initial decision?

Listened to Carney at Irving. Subs - no numbers, protecting the negotiation process Ice Breakers - for the Navy? or for the CCG (I may have missed it but I sure hope its for the CCG) New mandate for the CCG (more involved in the RMP accumulation) Pay Raise for the CAF - Okay..... Review of F35...

I'm thinking that some of the ideas about increasing defence procurement coming from LPC and NDP will be in the vicinity of Unicorns farting skittles out of their ass. The CPC ideas will be Beluga whales farting skittles. Still mainly a fantasy, but at least the Belugas are real.

I’m not convinced at all that any of the parties will come through on their defence promises that they’ll make (if any) on this election.

Interesting podcast with Procurement Canada Deputy Minister and Seaspan’s CEO. Near the end Seaspan says that they are 18 months to 2 years away from laying off designers. He said projects like the Corvettes need to be on the runway because Canada has spent billions getting this expertise and we...

The LPC have principles . But if you ask they have other principles on offer as well.

So with the F-35, P8 and potentially a Wedgetail. Will Canada be looking closely at the Loyal Wingman idea as a force multiplier?

Checks notes - They weren't steamers.

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

No, but a good guess would involve many of the names of the steamers that were still active when I joined the RCN.

Close. Land Based Testing Facility - HMCS Assiniboine (inland river - it rises in East Central Saskatchewan and terminates at the Red River in Winnipeg) RCD 01 - HMCS Fraser (empties into the Pacific, actually Salish Sea then Pacific) RCD 02 - HMCS St Laurent (empties into the Atlantic via...

Official name now. CSC is being somewhat scrubbed from documents. But I’m sure DA will correct me on my claim. 😏
