    High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    "On duty police officer attacks other on duty police officer, second officer shoots first officer ten times" would seem, at first blush, to be a police-centric.

    Because leaving January 6th would be too on point?

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

    To the contrary, they are saying that they would reshuffle their current delivery schedule to privilege our order.

    High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    Tragic murder suicide, where a CBSA officer accessed his service weapon and used it to murder his ex-fiancée before killing himself. CBSA firearms security appears to have been lacking. "That investigation determined that Yeung was able to take the handgun from a restricted CBSA firearms...

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

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    Defence of Canada division currently has 40%+ of its Capt, Maj, MWO, WO, Sgt and MCpl on full time service, mostly backfilling the Reg F which appears to be incapable of managing itself and generating the personnel they need. CAF leadership appear incapable of generating and sustaining...

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

    Safety systems were reduced due to weight restrictions driven by commonality desires. Aerodynamic also increases fuel efficiency, which increases range / time on station. To say that there were no design compromises and that they did not result in a less capable (not incapable) aircraft is...

    A commissionaire in a shack outside a silo in Wakaw SK is all the security needed.

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

    F35 is following the Avro Arrow approach of continuous improvement on the line. That said, I have heard that there are already concerns about early blocks being able to be upgraded to current configuration. It's also fundamentally hobbled / underperforming due to the technical compromises...

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

    Where are they based? What infra is required to support them? What sensors are required to direct them? It's not "Six fighters and we're good", it's bases with materiel and maintenance, forward operating locations, AARs... Sort of like how with an Army "Bullets don't fly without supply" ;)

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Before equipping the Army reserve abandon the thought that the current disposition and numbers of units is correct, or even thought out or planned.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Is the AAR an engineering challenge, or a human factors challenge? The RCAF is creating an air to air refuelling occupation, what if we make them jump qualified, they leap out of the CC330 pulling the fuel line with themselves, land on the GlobalEye, plug in the fuel line, then, once done...

    But it's not subject the whims of a madman king whose courtiers refuse to make the slightest effort to contain him. That's worth something.

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    MRTT fleet growth. ACP-MFS fleet growth. Fighter force fleet growth. More crews for P8 vs CP140. New demands for RPAS. And FAcT not delivering any appreciable increase in training capacity.

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    I recall (decades ago) a unit sending in course loading through district, gently nagging for months, district ignoring the unit, district sending the course loading message dated November to the unit in late April for an early May course, and threatening the unit with sanctions for being...
