I can't unsee that now . Friggin Infantry.

What might Turkey be up to in all of this . Creating a buffer zone or full Ottoman Empire if they could?

And just like that we are back to Uniforms and belts and buckles and all that glitters. Careers all round.

Could the Canadian procurement system be morphing into a good enough vs career years construct? Dear God, won't someone think of the pensions.

So about the rest of the Idea. Thanks for the Ferry designation rule btw I did not know that . The Feds should upgrade all the Fed owned docking facilities as well as the Ships. When China pulls their big move the West will need all the tonnage and capability it can get

The Feds have constitutional responsibilities to pay the costs of the Ferries anyway. A slight increase in Ticket prices would cover the operating. The Digby Ferry is mostly tourists and Fish product on the way to Boston. Have you seen the price of LAWBSTAAH! My Idea serves a Civilian need for...

Further to that Idea I would add a fifth Ice Strengthened Baltic class Ferry to the Newfoundland Run as a hot Idle spare that regularly transits the Atlantic right to Riga. Do those exercises at the End of the Argentia Newfoundland Runs in the Fall. Heck while I am at it the Feds should...

Yes they do especially if they are ten plus years older than the folks that fly and fix them. I have seen the Snowbirds at over ten different Airshows since the late seventies. They are overdue for replacement or given the personnel challenges permanent retirement. I would increase the fast jet...

It will be interesting how many Snowbirds show up for 25 as the Show I saw in Greenwood this past Summer was missing a jet. Does the Government plan to top up our Hawk replacement numbers to also replace the CT-114's?

And Israel sits back at their three tier Chess board to watch the aftermath. So how is that three day plan going Vlad?

So over on another Site I look into (Shipfax) the gear I saw on the 102 the other day is sitting on Pier 9 in Halifax. Car Carriers usually drop off or pickup outsized or unusual cargo from that pier.

I never understood why Canada did not take the Opportunity to real time test both aircraft by posting staff in USCG units. Real life missions and the tweaks and problems that come with that. The Puzzle palace seems to had too much influence as opposed to common sense.

Well all the Provincial Liberals needed was a two man dinghy. The M113's could be boat Anchors?

So while driving to Cape Breton and back for work in the last two days I passed a total of five Civilian flatbeds moving in total 8 obviously retired M113's and two Cougars. All heading towards Halifax on the 102. The M113's were all missing tracks and roadwheels but were remarkably still green...

Madame Joly seemed oblivious of the events in Montreal last night at the Henry House. She and the Canadian ambassador to Washington and about 12 other hangers on were having a great time. Smiles, giggles, war stories and expense accounts all over the room.

A few years ago (pre COVID ) I flew back to Halifax from St Johns and shared a row with a Coast Guard crewman of the Louis St Laurent. He was flown off the Louis at Sea into Iqaluit then to St Johns and then Home to Halifax. He mentioned that the CG crews LOVED the 429 as seven rotating guys and...

Is that Lockmart Guinea Pigging Canada? Proof of concept and the risk?

DAMN that was a truckload of common sense in that comment. Bravo sir , I hope you were not flying while typing

Mon Dieu, Madame Joly a zipperhead?

The Provincial Liberals don't have the energy or GAF. The NDP is broke and expect Claudia's New York City heritage to be brought up if You know who wins next week. Liberal leader Churchill has been blindsided by defections and the embezzlement in the Liberal head office. Houston had funds stolen...
