I was. I had been moved to Nipigon as part of the turnover after 12423 ditched. I met my ex-wife in Liverpool…

Did they really just have an argument about golf in a Presidential debate. As seems to be in vogue, “Jesus wept…”

Yep, so far it looks like Trump brought it and Biden didn’t.

That sounds like the NDPs response in the Defence Committee’s report on procurement. Which may be a good point…

Technically the Cyclone is not an ASW helicopter, it’s a Maritime Helicopter. In the CONOPs ASuW and ASW are equal. Which is important, because those long range surface to surface missiles can’t be used without targeting. But you knew that😀

At Battle of the Atlantic 50th in Liverpool 1993 I was in a group of Uk, German, Russian and me, plus a translator… and there may have been drinks involved. We were saying how scared we were during the Cold War of them because their missiles are so big. He said they were more scared of us...

I sometimes think that the openness of the US procurement system, especially reporting to Congress, skews peoples ability to have a go at their programs. They openly talk about the things they need to fix. To my knowledge, the closest that Canada has to the GAO would be the auditor General...

There is also often a disconnect between the operational intent and the requirement. The intent gets lost in the translation to a technical requirement. Then, off the shelf systems, that would perfectly meet the intent, have to be customized to meet the requirement. The other thing that...

Nipigon was ready duty ship and we sailed one Fri night, then came back, then sailed the next Fri night (I'd have to check my log for the exact dates). My now ex-wife was visiting from Wales at the time and was left here alone. Oops. We were talking to the Spanish Navy on NATO crypto to help...

Our Wing ISSO got schooled on declassification of stale data by a SAC I was fortunate to have on loan based largely on the rules pointed out in the standing OPTASK RMP.

I think they do, but the terminology is used different. I don't know how this is online, but here it is anyway, ATP-1, Chapter 6, Section 2 (Picture Compilation and Scouting), Figure 6-1, page 6-8, Scouting Description. Scouting is broken down into Surveillance, which has a bunch of stuff, and...

There is one sitting in the museum…

In my opinion it’s the only one that does matter. It boils down to “my individual contribution doesn’t matter, so fuck everyone else, they can deal with it.” It’s not the past for the rest of the world, it’s the present. Are they supposed to just say that we got us here, but since we refuse...

Canada is a G-8 nation whose standard of living is largely a result of industrialization, even a a quite cold climate. We are amongst the worst emitters per capita in the world (List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita). A lot of China's "bashing on" is a direct result of our...

Really, because he hasn't done one iota to change my mind. Oh yeah, I forgot: I'm mentally inept, easily deceived, and a lemming. Good thing there is the ignore button.

As I said, one of my biggest concerns with the implementation is the lack of transparency. The government documents say it does not go into general revenue. Example: The Government of Canada does not keep any direct proceeds from pollution pricing. All direct proceeds from the federal system...

I don't normally use Wikipedia as a primary reference, but blanket statements such as yours shows you have very little interest in reviewing actual data, so: Positive impacts Research shows that carbon taxes effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.[8][50][51] Most economists assert that...

I’m not sure cutting the carbon tax will cause any impact federal finances except cutting the rebates and some climate related programs. However, one of my frustrations with the implementation of the carbon tax is the difficulty in getting information on the actual cash flows.

If we are dealing in facts... "Making life more expensive" is an opinion not a fact. According to the Bank Of Canada (STANDING COMMITTEE ON FINANCE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2023) the Carbon Tax is contributing 0.1% to inflation. Is there conflicting evidence that isn't just CPC talking points...

Been there, tried that (at a lower level). The current system of making sure we don't waste pennies prevents that type of thinking...
