Message to the UCP who started this goat rodeo....play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Don't blame the NDP for what the UCP did to themselves.

Trump's 50% tariff on India sure has done a number on the "Pivot to Asia". I wonder what that means for the future of the Quad?

Wow...."for anything done"....not "for any lawful act" or similar.

Canada being Canada we'll likely seek to replace Germany in the struggling FCAS program instead...

I don't misunderstand unmanned systems and I'm aware we need a balanced force. You'll note that I clearly stated that in my opinion the need for a somewhat larger crewed fighter force is as much about maintaining a large enough pool of pilots to fulfill both our operational requirements PLUS...

My gut tells me that we need a larger Reg Force fighter fleet...as much to have a large enough pool of pilots to support all the non-operational pilot roles we require as for the purely military requirement. But when it comes to adding a Reserve fighter fleet in addition to (ideally?) 130-150...

This is totally normal, right? US Institute of Peace renamed for Trump after his administration gutted it earlier this year

Wikipedia says this about the light fighter version (F-7) I can't find anything on either the Boeing or Saab T-7A websites that discuss an actual developed light fighter version. Also, I don't see any indication that the T-7A is AAR capable which would be a huge impediment to conducting an...

Joint development between KAI and Lockheed Martin (of course the GOC would ignore the LM part) Candidate for the USAF Advanced Tactical Trainer program and the USN Tactical Surrogate Aircraft & Undergraduate Jet Training System programs Link 16 AIM-9X and AIM-120 AMRAAM as well as Meteor...

I have high expectations that he'll attend the FIFA World Cup draw in Washington as scheduled. I'll be happy if it ends with that and no new random outbursts spew from his host. Anything positive out of the meeting beyond that is pure gravy to my mind.

So you'd be proposing something like this? 20 x FT-50's for the FLIT role 13 x T-50B's for the Snowbirds 40 x F-50's (20 each for Cold Lake and Bagotville) as the Tier 2 fighter for initial employment in the operational Wings So you'd be looking at something in the ballpark of 75-80...

From the first article:

I continue to contend that part of the problem is that our fighter fleet is too small. It doesn't provide a large enough pool of pilots to cover all of our operational, training and administrative needs. While it may be difficult to get to that point I bet that a fleet closer to 130-150...

The admission fee is likely so low because the Europeans (rightly) see us as more of a buyer than a seller in this situation.

This article is about the US but the same will be true of Canadian mine tailings. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/09/250917221212.htm

Absolutely brilliant. Loved it!

As I mentioned, I'm no Eby fan. However, I'm also not a fan of overly sensationalist and misleading headlines. Having workshops to train and deploy people to monitor potential human rights violations is not anywhere in the same league as "counselled and trained black block terrorists".

So I'm no Eby or ANTIFA fan here but where exactly in the video does he claim to have counselled and trained "black bloc terrorists"? He discusses his group deploying uniformed observers to watch for and report on potential civil rights violations during the Olympics but where is the leap to...
