1000% percent - I think systems like this are going to make a comeback in a big way Throw a modern radar on it & some sort of modern fire control system, and these would be extremely effective against drones & low flying aircraft (I saw one in action at an air show in Cold Lake when I was a...

Good on this guy!! I for one am quite proud of him (that may sound cheesy, but I don't know how else to say it) for accomplishing what he has & getting himself not only selected as leader of a provincial political party - but also getting himself elected as Premier.

Seems like the prudent move, good on them for doing so

Australia wasn't even going to buy American subs anyway at first - they were initially going to go with French subs... So I guess they may just have to go with Plan B, even though less than a year ago their Plan B was their Plan A 🤷‍♂️

I understand Boeing has challenges right now, and will for the foreseeable future. But shouldn't this have been a fairly straightforward matter of building 2 new 747's, and installing the modernized version of the same mission-specific equipment on the current fleet...

Perhaps a solid plan for 10 hulls, and then ordered hull by hull as deemed necessary afterwards...?? 🤷‍♂️

Not all these protesters are protesting for free... Someone is organizing these massive protests. Coordinating flag people, warn coffee on site, and technical support such as microphones & loud speakers - not to mention purchasing and distributing all of rhe flags Follow the money...

Given how fluid this situation is at the moment, I'm sure those papers will be sent to their units within a day or so

I wonder if the US canceling the E-7 contract will now shift things in favour of a Bombardier-Saab platform? I know it was recently confirmed that DND was looking at the E-7 regardless of whatever Bombardier came up with, but that's gets turned upside down now that the E-7 may not even be an...

I think you are right. Personally, I really like the idea of Pierre Poilievre both as opposition leader and as Prime Minister. But I feel like the CPC will perhaps need a new leader well before the next election. I wonder, if Trump hadn't made the comments he did, who would have been...

F**k yeah!! (I mean as long as he doesn't murder everyone in sight & impregnate their waves, ofcourse...)

Yuuuuppppp!! That was it! Instead of the training going to a member who could potentially use it at some point, or share that knowledge with their peers to bring the collective competence of their platoon up a bit...you nailed it. I'll always remember that line though... "Selection will...

I remember I took a course through my work a few years ago, and it was the kind of course that a lot of people wanted to go on... So in fine print at the bottom of the notice it read "Selection will not be based on merit, but will be based exclusively on time in" so all the senior honchos could...

The Liberals are doing that shady shit they always try to do... (and succeed at doing, somehow) They introduce a bill and call it something respectable, and point out the respectable issue that the bill is intended to rectify...but they leave out all the other stuff the bill includes that have...

Oh I know, that's why I thought I would post something about it... (hopefully it catches people's attention and brings them up to speed on what the Liberal Party of Canada wants to make law)

Speaking of the Liberal Party of Canada...have we discussed the proposed Bill C-2 yet?? https://nationalpost.com/opinion/wild-overreach-in-liberals-new-border-control-bill

Speaking of which, it was under Stephen Harper that Saudi Arabia bought the Canadian Wheat Board for $15B...so the precedent of Saudi Arabia sinking big money into Canada is there (and under Team Blue to boot) So it will be interesting to see their take on this indeed

How do you figure? What would be the point of keeping the plant open at all of it wasn't manufacturing anything?
