"Looking at the mediocrity of people in general, we're always more likely to get the latter than the former." This statement is true and telling. I am in the camp that good people exist, people who do try their best to push the peanut up the hill for the benefit of all. The problem that...

Agreed. The 'old' number of 88 airframes was agreed upon in the 'old world', pre-Trump and 'pre-2%, moving to 3.5%. I'm in the camp that when the numbers come out it will be north of 88.

Which do you 'trust' more with your information? Both? Neither? Doesn't matter? Hope Google got your 'good side'.

LOL - are we the their Visigoth allies being asked to Rome shortly before we turn on them and sack Rome?

True. 6-9 months time is a mere blip in governing a country or running a major corporation. The statement 'Rome was not built in a day' was true over 2,000yrs ago and is still true today. It is ALL about preparing the field, laying the ground work, building the foundation, etc, etc, etc. We...

I'm leaning towards that is what they will do. I'm in the camp that more has been achieved in the last 6 months than has been achieved in the last 6yrs.

You add more money into the program. Its a different Sheriff in town now.

Not getting into the 'for' or 'against' argument here on the gun buyback - but - if i was advising the PM I would ensure that ever individual case of a firearm being bought back did NOT result in a financial loss to the owner, at a minimum this would be the entry point of the buyback. Why rub...

In the business world, when the CEO says that something is important to them and they want it done, heaven and earth is moved to make it happen

Your guess is as good as mine. Sometimes these little things tell alot and sometimes they mean nothing at all. I mean was the last time Canada bought anything of substance from France? So, with that being said, was France being listed as an example only because the person writing the copy is...

The USAF has 24 planes in a F35A squadron I thought, do we follow suit or do we have less? Why the fixation with 88 airframes? That number was pre-Trump and based on all F35's. In todays world that number is going to move up I'd be willing to bet, especially if we go with a mixed fleet.

I wonder if that was why France was listed, with the UK and Australia, in the new - Canada announces Defence Investment Agency to manage purchase, delivery of military equipment Agency mandated to work more closely with allies including U.K., Australia and France I would have thought Germany...

Wait - was he a Freedom Fighter or a Terrorist?

I'd think so. Every fighter that they can get in the air is good for them.

Snippet below from the article: "says Australia would need to massively increase its defence spending or accept it can't defend its own sovereignty. "If you look at the mismatch between the scale of our territory and the scale of our ability to defend it — it's one of the most glaring...

What's the Australian business case for their 90 vs our business case for 26? Both very large land masses with massive coastlines. Both have no land borders with any potential enemies. So, why their 90 vs our 26? Is it simply down to Canadian shortcutting or is there really more to it.

If he gets the bloody job done right I don't care if he was a bus driver, dog walker, ex-CEO (which he is) or retired gym teacher.

Ukraine Says Gripen Jets Are Among ‘Expected’ Western Aircraft Deliveries Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister, Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk, has said that Swedish-made JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets are among the Western aircraft “expected” to reinforce the country’s air force. This is the...
