    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Not a delusion at all, what was or is delusional about what I said? Most people now adays have three or four career's. If a agency recruiting does not figure out the prime time to recruit a person for the required skill they require then they have already failed. Trust me I have watched many...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Quebec is already online for building their own new LNG plant. But they want to control the narrative of Western Canadian LNG (they want royalties per Bcf/d) on top of the royalties they already get. Nothing more nothing less. They still want to buy cheap middle east oil and ng. The gun fiasco...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Gun confiscation program is exactly an example of this stupidity and not making sound business decisions. Emissions cap fiasco. two major examples of stupidity carried forward even though the PM has stated he does not think they are good programs. But will stick with them because the previous...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I don't know about you, but I don't know many around my parts who have a lathe in the garage. Thinking of when I was a kid I didn't know anyone who had a lathe on their garage. I do know if I showed up at my local Machine shop and asked them to fix my roller they would either laugh and say...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    We already run multi fleet in the Airforce. We operate Various Helicopters, and fixed wing platforms. Adding two different fighters is not much different. Being short on maintainers and Pilots is an internal issue. Lots can be done to boost those numbers. But you cant hire pilots and say you...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    EH101 helicopter cost us almost as much as the original contract to cancel as it was to purchase them. Never underestimate the liberal gov when their ideology gets in the way . The F15 provided longer range, longer endurance, faster to get there, heavier payload, Can shoot down ballistic...

    I hope your wrong, but I was thinking along the same lines. They will put it out for tender again.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Funny how the people who are responsible for the hull surveys, and determining PM are the same ones to gain from the lack of structural and systems maintenance. One can say all they want about the ships are old, this costs to much, that costs to much. Fixing Hulls and replacing pipework is...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    How much of that time in the shipyard is make work projects for the contractor to milk every last penny out of the government. With little to any QC and accountability performed overall. I would like to see a overhaul of not only our shipyards but all our Civilian contractors across the board...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    That's interesting, many who I have talked to have said the opposite, but not knowing the specifics it is hard to compare your situation. I have lived across the country. Alberta has been friendly to me since I moved here in 2005. Has allowed me the lifestyle to enjoy not only work but enjoy my...

    CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

    Simple fix, hire Amazon to run your parts and distribution system. 😂 I still can not believe after so many years they still have not sorted out the supply system. Someone will go its not that simple. But it is. Put all the parts 1,2,3 line 25 and 7 CFDS into one computer program. You can even...

    Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

    If asked could you provide the stats to support your position? I have a few friends who they and their co-workers were asked for their WFH and In office stats. It was an interesting discussion overall about the top performers and everyone else. Their employers compared their employee data with...

    "RCMP union pushes for change to help force attract talent from U.S., other countries"

    I would ask that the RCMP prove that there are not enough suitable Canadian Residents first, I am sure this will be tested in Court. That would start with the people they gave two year or less deferrals to over the past ten years. To go back and reconnect with those people who did not reapply...

    The War in Ukraine

    To me the EU should have stood up their "Defence Force" a long time ago and told Russia to head back home. Instead they let complacency and trade disputes effect protecting themselves.

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    They way I read it, the Fire Control System is not compatible with the customers Specs. Without having the integration from the French System they can not make the boomy things go boom properly. Chassis vs. chassis should not be a problem, if that is a problem then one should not be buying...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I hear lots of immigrants are applying to the Canadian Forces. Many as their way to pay their duty to their new country. When I have talked to few of them they say they would go where needed. I often let them know about the Reserves but also the option within the regular force and the benifit...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    My foot patrols I did on Canada Day would disagree with you. I had people thanking us, telling me Canada is the greatest country in the world. They were proud and happy to now be here. A few of them arrived just weeks before. Many if not all were waving Canadian Flags, Had maple leaf tattoos...
