The Poles may have some discounted Blackhawks for sale. Maybe the Mounties would want to buy in as well? https://www.businessinsider.com/poland-suspends-black-hawk-helicopter-order-suggests-not-right-weapon-2025-6

The question is, how does Carney, a non-career politician with solid and profitable employment prospects outside of politics, define "success"? Is it getting re-elected/staying in power as PM? Is is setting the conditions for the return of Trudeau in 2029? Or is it really making Canada better...

True, because the CCG ship and crew is not "forces that are trained in military tactics, are equipped as a military force, can operate under direct military authority in deployed operations, and can, realistically, be deployed outside national territory in support of a military force", but...

Would not that mission require an armed presence? Based on experiences transitioning other non-armed federal agencies to being armed, we could be up to a decade away from that capability.

The definition of what qualifies is found here and reads, in part (highlights mine): "They might also include parts of other forces such as Ministry of Interior troops, national police forces, coast guards etc. In such cases, expenditure is included only in proportion to the forces that are...

Rail Police have limited geographical jurisdiction at present to within 500 metres of railway owned property and right of way. Transport Canada has put forth a proposed change to the Railway Safety Act to extend their jurisdiction province wide within the province in which the constable is...

Form what I've been able to find, CA municipal police are all in blue, while SD and CHP are all in tan uniforms. Similar to here where, for example, under the Aviation Security Regulations 2012 (SOR 2011-318) CBSA BSOs are only considered to be peace officers while conducting immigration...

I don't know of any North American jurisdiction that would condone that. UoF by police in CA is governed by CA Penal Code § 835a, which is summed up as: "Officers shall use only that amount of force that reasonably appears necessary given the facts and totality of the circumstances known to...

That confuses me as well. US citizenship can only be acquired by birthright or naturalization. Birthright meaning the person is born on US territory or is born anywhere in the world and has one parent who is a US citizen at the time of birth. Naturalization is the process by which a foreign...

He was probably ambushed by the CPC's Andrew Lawton. I will give him points for answering honestly and without hesitation, something refreshing from a Liberal MP in recent memory. But with a potential minimum bill of $765M, the commercial buyback barely underway, the individual buyback not even...

Meanwhile, PMMC's new Public Safety Minister admits in the House that he has not a clue about firearms licensing or the process to become licensed and insists that recent legislative changes to firearms laws are not about lawful firearms ownership.

The Russians have a different definition of "airworthy" than the rest of us.

They wouldn't get in. The timelines are too short to get all the manifests submitted to GAC and pre-clearances done by IRCC on the soldiers before June 18th.

It's an ambitious Bill, but achievable. I would've liked to see an expansion of CBSA's authorities to cover between ports of entry and the implementation of full-time peace officer powers. It's also the first concrete mention of how he plans to grow the CBSA. What's missing is rhe timeline for...

You get a $6000 tax break for being a volunteer firefighter or search and rescue team member. You get a tax break on income earned while deployed in many cases. So, why not make Res F earnings tax exempt?

US study visa holders MUST leave within 60 days of the end of their studies. They are considered temporary residents.

People :ROFLMAO:

Totally agree. But program officers and "pet" project managers don't catch smugglers, even though they are "personnel". I'm jaded enough to see what may happen based on "growth promise" experiences in almost 5 decades in my agency and the green machine.

I've just recently gotten into the immigration side of my job. It's interesting but very complex. That's the missing granularity. "Personnel" doesn't always translate into uniformed, badged members for your org or mine.

I don't think His Majesty's aircraft was out of Canadian airspace and Trump had revived his 51st state rhetoric, offering "Golden Dome" coverage to Canada for $61B US or free as the 51st state. Didn't his ambassador to Canada say mere days ago that this was a non-issue?
