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

    LPC leadership race - 2025

    If the Liberals lose the election, don’t expect Carney to hang around long. he’ll go back to the board rooms. That’s where the money is. Then the Liberals will again need to pick a new leader.

    Replacing the Subs

    Trump may want to but he cannot get 60% of congress vote to repeal term limits…. But then Scotus Robert’s has already indicated that this president is exempt from prosecution. Next, he’ll be demanding UK provide him with a Crown and Scepter or else face tariffs.

    Replacing the Subs

    After all the decades of slowly killing ( no pun intended) off the CF to fund social engineering programs, I have trouble believing we would buy more than 6 or so subs or spend 2%.

    Replacing the Subs

    S-80A has had a long and painful gestation . Electric Boat was called in to solve the overweight problem which has pushed back deliveries. The AIP is still in development and won’t be fielded until the 3rd or 4th hull. Best to call it a work in progress .

    Replacing the Subs

    I believe that all of the design and engineering staff for such a project have long retired; as the song goes…dust in the wind. AECL has been wound down. Old technology from a bygone era. Like the CF105. To restart the nuclear reactor research and design industry in Canada would be difficult and...
