I'm just an idiot civilian, but too me that's determined by dispersion and doctrine. My thinking, in laymans terms: Assuming a 90 degree arc of responsibility, your single vehicle can provide coverage for 22.6km of front. Assuming you want it to be able to hit targets at some sort of standoff...

Which uh, is going to fit Cavalry doctrine just perfectly. Not to mention stretching 66 of them between both of the regiments plus school needs.

Alternative perspective: Poor man's MBT: A Critical Capability That is to say, the RCAC is down to a wholly inadequate 74 track fleet of MBT's, (34 of which are right on the line between obsolscent and obsolete), a lemon of a security vehicle, and a surveillance vehicle that doesnt really fit...

I don't think we're at the bottom- but I'm skeptical about seeing anything I'd classify as "huge." 2022 didn't collapse the system, and now we're down to 2 years worth of mortgage transactions left to renew at the new rates- which have come down significantly.

If you had asked me what a "groyper" was this time yesterday my guess would have been either some sort of obscure anal wart or a regional term for a large fish- member of a semi-organized subculture trying to push MAGA further right wasnt on the bingo card

I don't want to put words in @FJAG 's mouth - but from an organizational perspective there seems to be a fundamental difference between the two. A new class of RegF service (if widely used) forces a wholesale institutional shift in personnel management and mindsets where geo-static members are...

Assasination of Melissa Hortman and husband + assasination attempt on Senator Hoffman, + two more lawmakers Assassination Attempt on on DJT Attempt to kidnap and " interogate" Nancy Pelosi leading to hammer attack on Chuck Pelosi January 6th. Americans on both extremes feel like the other...

Ha. I deleted that part of the post and missed that introduction. University teaches students how to think University teaches students how to think

As an employer, a non-professional / non-topical post secondary accreditation carries/carried value in that it signals (and played a roll in developing): -basic technical aptitude (you must be able to use basic software, email, learn to sight navigate different portals, and platforms)...

My Words- "Post Covid Intake Run up" In the context of the TFW- Post COVID = the time since COVID Intake Run up = program intake numbers ballooning upwards year over year The initial COVID slump and recovery explosion are well defined inflection points in the overall use of the TFW program-...

I'd be very interested in seeing the math on what the "right" level is, and then implementing a path to get to there as a aggressively as possible. I have no doubt that the post covid intake run up has been a big contributor to current youth unemployment levels- but that being true is not the...

Gonna beat some dead horses here, but IF: -a ~33 tonne up armoured M2A2 can take 122's and do pretty well, how well would a 40 tonne vehicle with more modern armour, more slope, less volume (and surface area) for that weight do? -if a 120mm turret doesn't get you anything vice 40/50mm + ATGM...

Gross civvy oversimplification: -OS info has 51 turret being billed as a compatible upgrade path for A4 hulls- assume the switch from hydraulic to electic drive is manageable -assume RM Montreal upgrade is viable at 20 KF51 turret assemblies and 20 turrent installs per year -assume requirements...

I agree with what you're saying- in general. I posted it not because I think internal party debate on specific issues is unhealthy- quite the opposite. To me the story here is that in this specific case there seems to be the first sign that amongst the LPC caucus there is a material faction...

Relevant https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-climate-change-environment-caucus-1.7625657 I'd say his own party and failure to keep them in line presents a bigger threat than the opposition. If he's doing what needs to be done it limits PP's voice to chattering the wind trying to...

I have not, but age ratings of 14 and up (highschool) seem fair for the subject material. Maybe parental authorized access in grade 7-8. Knowledge vs normalizing comes down to parenting and having discussions- but not having books isn't going to spare teens being exposed to sexuality...

Got a transcript? As a rule I don't consume political information via AV media. Too slow as a rule, and increasingly too entertainment driven to drive traffic

Having grown up rurally, going to school in a town where the school library was co-sited and integrated with the public library- unless we're talking about having Hustler or similar on the shelves- the whole thing is a gross overreach. Make sign out history accessible to parents (or even...

Valid, but to me that speaks more to a loss of cultural identity rather than political. In broad strokes, I think there are large portions of the population whose version of "Canada" is a US Red state. There are portions whose Canada is a Euro social democracy (with widely diverging...

I think that part of the issue with these thematic type parties, blending of idealogies, etc is that Canada doesn't know what it is, what it wants to be. We've lost a lot of the common core of consensus, which really ratchets up the breadth of core philosophies that need to be covered by the...
