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

    I am more a fan of F15s with F35s. But we don't have any will for that. We will take F35s hopefully with what ever they come up with. But the Griphen can be used for lower taskings if we do buy them. Hope that we get other spin offs from that project. LOL, Good thing those covid shots and...

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

    Your opinion. One that works and understand that not all things require a full time person to conduct operations. We could learn a lot from them. Similar training program, similar aircraft (for the new f35). If it works for them then maybe we should look at how to adopt what actually works...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Isnt it funny how the initial OIC stated compensation for the original firearms on the list. The follow lists stated no compensation. Here we are years later and now its first come first serve. How well of a plan is this if they cant even follow their own set plan.

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

    Assumptions are always funny and often misguided. The ANG manages to perform decently, not sure why we can't other then we don't. It comes down to the mentality of I don't want to give up my piece of the pie. Even though there is no pie left and the pan has been thrown out the door. those...

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

    That is a narrow mindset. Lots of recently retired folks that could be hired back to conduct much of that training while keeping our operations maintained. (since we are already having issues maintaining those operations it will be a crap shoot no matter how we do it). I don't really have much...

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

    I think lack of outside experience being able to influence and used for face value is hurting the military. You are correct the over and over again is accomplishing nothing. You have to expect that from a group of people who know nothing else. Empire building diminishes any and all forward...

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

    In practice it is true and proven. Companies who buy new equipment, have decent benefits offer opportunities often get the better and or best applications. Where they fail if they do, is sustaining That equipment and treating their workforce properly. Concurrently fix the cluster that is...

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

    If you build it they will come. We have not built anything for a long time, hence few have come to join.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Depends on what the capacity they actually want to ship out of there. This will depend on what they actually would build. You can reduce/ increase pipeline capacity as required. 120 shipping days. Shipping at 2million bbl per ship. 24-32hrs to load ship. 240,000,000bbls for 120 days shipping...

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

    I wonder if they zero time the airframes? If so this might be a good chance to add to the Fleet, 100 of these and 65-80 F35s and we would have a pretty wicker Airforce.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Why not? You could build a large tank farm for storage. Ship during the open water season and low rate stockpile during ice up.

    Alberta government thread

    you would think so, so many were using resources in Alberta then paying taxes elsewhere that the system needed some kind of a fix.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    but they should have reached the status of Journeyman/Woman/person. Which is the same ball park of a degree. Thats good money, nothing to laugh at. Hopefully will attract more to the Military.

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

    Wasn't that the evaluation that leaned a little further left towards the F35 then center. Hence why the other consortium withdrew from the competition? The fact that Saab continued with the bid shows a bit of long term thinking and planning on their part to provide an entire package of equipment...
