Based upon what I've seen from (and heard about) the shipyards in question, it is my hope that Seaspan wins the primary contract, and Davies gets the 2ndary one.

I'm fairly certain that we are reasonably capable of defending Canada within the law, without having to compromise on our integrity in the process.

Naw, that's not the way it works. Haven't you ever watched Star Trek? The gig is you get told to do something, you tell the captain yea canna' break the laws o' physics, then you pull some reverse polarity out of your arse, fix everything at the last possible second, and come off looking like a...

Hrph. Leave it to a LogO to pull a regulation out of his back pocket to ruin everyone's fun!

Seconded. Never let yourself convince you that you're not worthy for something, especially if you meet the listed requirements. If you want it, apply, and let those in the know determine i make the evaluation. And it's not like you'll be immediately thrust into a position where you'll be in over...

Onboard HMC Ships (and likely submarines as well), it's typically "<insert name of ship here">, e.g. "Vancouver!" or "Winnipeg!".

Oooh ooh oooh, does this mean that my opinions on the matter are relevant? 3 days prior to my course's graduation from CFLRS, us naval engineering types were informed that no, we wouldn't actually be all moving to Halifax to proceed on Second Language Training there, instead we'd all be...

I still do almost all my walking around in "normal" shoes. And on occasion I do run (such as when I notice that the bus I'm trying to catch is coming and I'm still 2 blocks away). And even for short runs like that, I've noticed they bloody well hurt, mostly in the shins. Not so when I'm in my...

Training. Administration related to the support of the current fleet. Administration related to development of future capability. Etc.

For engineers, yes. Well, that is to say, a large portion of their time is spent in administrative tasks, and they aren't allowed to do hands on work. The MARS guys have a much more "hands on" job than engineers (and LogOs). Which isn't to say that they don't have their fair share or boring and...

In, on, around, I don't care. As long as no one makes the fatal error of having the word "The" before "HMCS".

Eh. The ability to sit for extended periods of time and observe cameras without getting so bored out of your gourd that you go insane, or quit within a couple weeks to avoid going insane, is indeed a job skill. One that I don't think I possess. To be frank, the only way I would be able to do...

Well, they did kinda try, they just couldn't agree on who would be the best alternative.
