Look like the back fell off…

So, 5 by 5 by zero? 🤣 No, you tracked it pretty well CBH99. ‘Hypothetically’ of course.

My view if for the longer term, not making a strategic/political decision based in an operational deployment. If Denmark is considered as an RCAF F-35 detachment/squadron location, it should be more for reasons such as solidarity with a fellow Arctic nation, particularly one that is also...

I’d be up for that. I’d also consider basing our euro F-35s in the Netherlands, vice Sweden. Canada and the Ntheroands have very close ties ne the infra for F-35 is already there, as well as, dare I mention it, logistical and technical economies of scale collaborating with the KLu.

(Still slightly o/t) A secondary but not insignificant factor. IMO, primary factor is closer integration with a big Euro player. I’d put all our future Rafale fleet in YBG anyway, leaving the F-35s in YOD (and Det in SWE), so having a 433e Det in France down in Istres makes sense. 👍🏼

Depends if you want to see it or not. Who was the first head of state PM Carney visited after the election? What country’s SSN visited the RCN’s principal base in Halifax shortly before that meeting? In international politics, that’s called ‘signaling.’ Some believe it means something...

12,000? Really? I’ll give you an option…and one that I think may actually be in play well behind the scenes. Rafale M. Non-ITAR, yet able to interoperate with the USN on CVNs and also flying interoperable with France, which is one of the Euro big dogs. Dassault sets up manufacturing in...

Setting myself up to be disappointed…every once in a while, hope springs temporary.

EO/IR on C-130J fuselage is done and dusted. Just a contractual AWR for CC-130J ISS if it was really wanted.

It’ll be an easy offer to refuse. So we’ll replace the majority US ITAR-controlled Lockheed F-35 with…the…ummm…US ITAR-controlled SAAB Gripen E?

Well we know that The 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances wasn’t worth the electrons it was written with.

It’s not like the NYT has been placed on America’s terrorist organization list… …yet…

Exemplary case for action regarding dental hygiene and care?

Potentially up until the upcoming election if it results in a less Russia-friendly government.

Poland, France and perhaps Germany, would do something. The Poles are just looking for an excuse to pay Russia back for the Katyn forest… At this point, it’s safe to assume that the US has institutionally forgotten (erased) other NATO nations coming to support its historically unique Article 5...

Most nations just have sternlywordedletterships.

I don’t see a Conservative Liberal crossover anytime soon. Two reasonable polling thoughts: 1) things have for the most spot settled with a slight separation, protestations that the Cons are climbing and will soon eat the Libs notwithstanding… …and… 2) Canadians generally don’t like the...

Hopefully he, as future Prime Minister, would listen to Canadians more than he listened (or didn’t) to me and other Ottawa - Carleton constituents. I remained entirely unimpressed by him.

I guess we’ll all be listening to PM Poilievre in early-2026 then? 🍿
