    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Pointing to a smaller group of crazies to avoid dealing with a steady flood of a culture that is very explicit in their goals of dominating and subjugating the west and eradicating our culture is suicidal. It also throws any moderates in the Islamic world to the wolves to appease the apologists...

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

    A lot of F-35 components are made here, so I would expect those contracts to wind up. However the US may not have that capacity. My friend worked for MTU, when the USAF decided to stop sending their jet engines to MTU in BC to be rebuilt, because a US company said they could do it. That US...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Sikhs don't expect everyone to convert to their religion, and that was tiny fraction of Christians who did that. Also Christianity does not kill you for leaving the religion or insulting Jesus. Islam is a much bigger threat to the West.

    War on Free Speech

    Both my kids have very independent views and don't go along with what their peer group thinks, but they are also careful about what they say publicly and on social media.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    From my reading the 25mm give you an effective range against drone threats (My main concern at this point) of around 4800m, but will struggle a bit due to the nature of the ammunition. Whereas the 57mm gives you a effective range of 8500m against drones, with a potentiel range of 17km to...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    They have fitted the 57mm to a 250 ton ships, pretty sure they can easily fit it to the AOP's. It's still a mostly a self-defense weapon. Considering the places it is likley to end up and proliferation of threats a non-state actor can now bring to the table, we are going to have to up our game...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I understood that the 57mm is offered with multiple version of through deck ammunition feeds in length and complexity? At the very least switch the RWS to the Lionfish so we have the same systems on the AOP's and RCD's, plus the .50cal RWS that our on the Halifax's.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Why we can't have nice things. Instead of celebrating Canadian expertise, we look down on success. https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/01/23/ubc-prof-troubled-by-local-shipyard-supporting-us-military/

    Matsumoto Shipyards closed in 1989. Last government contract was for 41' CCG cutters. Excellent boats and they did excellent work

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    I would be impressed if he had an AR-10, not exactly common. Quite the epidemic we are having with long guns of all types

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Yes, I suspect this facility will be highly useful to us and our allies. Along with creating a place where Canadians can innovate.

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

    We got the Navistar trucks, because they were the only bidder. If the bidder meets the requirements, then the government has limited options on what it can do.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    They are pushing otherwise law-abiding citizens into being criminals and many have had enough and will choose to be one. How is that helping Canada to become a better place?

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

    Some companies refuse to bid on government contracts as they don't want to deal with the bureaucratic hoop jumping and the long wait to get paid.

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

    and using equipment built here whenever possible and push them to get better if required. I like to see the CAF to put in an order for two Edison hybrid trucks for evaluation.
