I wonder if this is the fracture of the CPC back into Reform Party and PCs? It more or less worked under Harper as he ruthlessly oppressed the outliers and didn't pander to them, but I think for PP it keeps biting him in the ass, and likely why he fumbled what should have been an easy layup.

A significant chunk is a reinvestment in core city infrastructure like water mains and sewers, which is critically needed and has been a massive under investment for decades, and I think a generally really good example of useful major public works program at the federal level that does a good...

Maybe PP will allow an open vote on the budget because he can't find anything that rhymes with deficit. Don't forget their policy included changing all pensions to defined contributions, not defined benefits, which would have really fucked over everyone in the CAF that is counting on that.

There are some technologies that let you do some airdrops from standard rear ramp planes and helos, but more intended for fire breaks and hotspots, vice actively burning fires the tankers hit. Would make sense to look into that to augment provincial resources when we're getting called in, but...

C'est une demande reasonable, et la project de replacer les produits de PFAS et la decontamination c'est une enorme defi a la FAC.

I know some people are chomping at the bit for an election, but I think the snap back against NDP and PC would be signficant. There is also the Bloc, but doubt they would face any political backlash from their constituents. With all the large projects they are looking at in different regions...

Don't need to believe me, you can see the photos US border protection provided to BBC back in 2018 at a migrant detention center. The camp in the middle of the swamp was too extreme for even Florida judges that shut it down. Trump migrant separation policy: Children 'in cages' in Texas The...

I've lost track, have they finally got a date to start training the replacement HT stream? RCD combat survivability concept relies on that skillset starting at the DCPO and at the section bases, at a higher level than what we meet with current MARTECH (because they killed HTs, realized it...

But when are using the same rhetoric from the late 1930s, down to propaganda posters, and slogans that allowed the Nazis to implement things like the Holocaust, we shouldn't mention that because they haven't actually genocided anyone yet? The same crowd has already put little kids in dog kennel...

Voluntary departures may be all the people that are actually useful and burnt out. Lot of the people in the long service time (including lot of veterans) that are critical for getting all the new people sorted, and institutional knowledge Why? Sure, but the people that can typically win those...

Seeing the difference between how the RCAF treats buildings the pilots use and maintenance buildings only the techs use is...interesting. Sure it's a coincidence there is a retention issue.

That's no problem, you are in the same boat as Cabinet, Treasury Board and most of the CAF outside the small team working on the fever dream while ignoring reality.

The number of self goals on the MARTECH trade management is mind blowing. If they can't justify spec 1 for them, no one in the RCN should get it. Not sure why I'm surprised when the response to the trade amalgamation was 'Fuck the stoker mafia, I choose COA 3 (the throwaway)', despite the RN...

Sure, but they somehow make insane amounts of money by buying things and stripping it of all it's actual wealth, leveraging things to siphon loans then taking advantage of US (and other countries) bankruptcy laws to minimize their exposure and still make some money selling off the carcass. He...

I love when people do something that results in a change of policy. Much smaller scale, but MEPM now issues ballcaps due to some rogue ones I got made up for the subsection (with some spares) in my last posting, because they wouldn't make unit ones. Small victory (also the ones I had made...

Does that actually work? The book was written by a guy that bankrupted casinos and generally fails at most things he does, and was riding on inherited real estate wealth. His current success is due to milking his cult followings as well as astonishing levels of open corruption and graft.

No one was tariffing the US, that's just complete lies. Depending on when you listened to him, he was putting on tarriffs because we were smuggling 'uge quantities of fentanyl (50 lbs), allowing illegal immigrants across (more are coming north from the US now), and now because his feelings are...

The commercial was for US voters during MLB world series, not Trump, or the Supreme Court, and was probably pretty effective on some, given Trump Barbara Streisand the shit out of it, and they can see Reagans full address quite easily, which also clearly argues against tariffs. Fortunately...

No one is contradicting the US government, just Trump personally, who is single handedly driving the US Gov policy by strong arming things, with Congress and the Senate being too neutered to do anything. He's an authoritarian child, and is ignoring US laws and international agreements (approved...

The goal is more varied trading, not just with China, but a consistent trading partner that actually adheres to international agreements is definitely better than when some geriatric toddler can have a temper tantrum and try and wipe out people's lives. Every single country will try and...
