America first but yet they are propping a country that the US has no real connection to over the last 40,50,60yrs. On top of that the US is yanking Venezuelas chain big time. Let’s see, Argentina to the south of Brazil and Venezuela to the north. Is there some attempt to ‘surround’ Brazil for...

Putin is going to need at least 1 other NATO country beside Hungary to agree to allow Putin to fly through their airspace. This means that they will also have to legally ignore the World Court. Trump must be putting some serious pressure on Romania and/or Bulgaria to allow this.

No way we have a separate EV mandate that varies more than 5-7% from the US’s without risking further manufacturing losses in the auto sector.

Can someone help me understand what possible flight route Putin will take to get to Hungary? https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cy85d9613zxt Trump says he will meet Putin in Hungary for Ukraine talks after 'very productive' phone call I can't see a route for him to get to Hungary that doesn't...

I can't help but think that this is reason as well. We truly need to move forward on this issue asap and move on to the Sub purchase next. Carney is in SK in 5 days.

Not looking to change your mind or anyone's mind, I don't have enough patience or gray matter to try. What I personally just don't like is blind allegiance to any one party or individual. I don't believe that sort of dogma ever ends up in a good way - whether its religion, politics, business...

I'm a bit gob smacked - the CBC is running a story that is positive overall on the F35 and highlights Canada's contribution into producing them. Think F-35 fighter jets are all-American? Canada actually plays a major role in production Lockheed Martin says about 30 companies in Canada are...

No, but you might be able to make alot more deposits in your life than an average dick banker...... ;)

Understood. Sometimes pet projects are allowed to continue by top management in order to pacific some dissenters and to keep the bigger deliverables on track and moving forward. That is all that I can say on this.

ArmyRick, I do understand your argument because under our current Parliamentary system this is really how it works......But this thinking is like some of the examples that have occurred in the US, please read article below, where the voters were so pigheaded in their voting only for party X and...

I call BS on the Windsor facility. It's just been given its final occupancy permit. It and the St Thomas facilities will result in between 5-6,000 new direct jobs. EDIT: According to the chart - of the total amount listed under 'Total Government Support', the 2 largest projects are BOTH...

What are the chances that these CDC's could be sold to friends/allies who might be in need of this sort of capability?

What's the odds of Putin flipping al-Assad over to the new boys running the show in order to hold Tartus as a base going forward? https://www.euronews.com/2025/10/15/syrias-al-sharaa-seeks-extradition-of-kremlin-ally-al-assad-in-first-moscow-trip Syria's Al-Sharaa seeks extradition of Kremlin...

Turns out you don't need a Gripen to land on a highway. Canadian Air Force pilots conduct highway landing in Estonia https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/canadian-air-force-pilots-conduct-highway-landing-in-estonia/

That would fit the Canadian model to a 'T'.

Well in terms of the Windsor and St Thomas ventures, I'd say pretty damn good. Can't speak of the others. https://lfpress.com/news/local-news/volkswagen-hiring-more-workers-electric-vehicle-battery-plant...

Not really, because I'm telling everyone that I know that I believe in Carney and that I have zero faith in PP. Carney is truly the better person over PP in the role of PM. I'm NOT talking about past party crap by the Liberals or the Conservatives, but a straight up credentials comparison -...

That is the million dollar question. I would guess that building the proposed CDC's to be as robust as possible would most likely go a long way in deciding the question. Throw in another JSS or two into the mix, add a few more P8's to enhance the CDC's coverage and I'd think it would.

I added another supplemental question to my first question.

Question: If we build our 15 Rivers, obtained 12 subs and build these 12 CDC's, along with our 6 AOPS and a pair of JSS, will the RCN be the largest bluewater navy without a 'big honking ship' in its fleet? EDIT: Additional question, putting aside the 'big honking ships' in the RN, the French...
