That would help too, they have good product lines, just cursed with having Canada as home base. The Buy American Plan hurts them a lot

Bombardier and the government of Canada should come to a deal something like this. Instead of loans ( more like gifts of tax payers money) They need 500 Million to float them along. RCAF needs new VIP jets, we buy the jets or lease them at a reduced cost they get the money. Our government...

If you have a Unit you are considering on joining, go see the Unit recruiter and ask the questions. Every unit and every trade can have different training schedules depending on location and resources.

I lived ( summers at my Grandparents apartment 1975-1990 ) on Keele Street right across from officer country and the 1 Canadian Forces Supply Depot and would stand or sit on the 8th floor balcony and watch the old war birds come into Downsview to practice or what ever during the CNE Airshow. I...

There refueling companies who specialize in off road refueling of heavy construction equipment. They pull into construction sites, refuel and leave. So this method could be adopted for use I am sure. ( They charge enough to show up all hours of the day and night, so there is money to be made...

I read more than the average bear. ( helps I work in a place that prints newspapers, kills the boredom, I do not write the stories or create them just work in the building) and retain the information. I find that it is amazing that people move near a busy set of train tracks, or move close to a...

No I just work in Ottawa, but live out of the city but thanks for asking. Since the early 2000s there has been talk of the JT3 group moving somewhere. Trenton, was considered because of the access to the aircraft and runway. Land was purchased, farmer evicted. Other units were also being...

There was a lot of money spent to move them to Trenton https://inquinte.ca/story/joint-task-force-2-move-to-cfb-trenton-being-reconsidered the plan was going back to at least 2012, but cost killed the plan https://ottawasun.com/2012/02/09/jtf2-moving-to-cfb-trenton...

this money is being spent after how many millions of dollars were used to relocate them to Trenton? That was stopped once the price went thru the glass dome ceiling. On top of the money already spent there on buildings and removing stables etc from the days of the horse farm being there. Be...

I was at a friends' house the morning of the shooting. Their son is a police officer in Edmonton. Once we heard the news, waiting for the son to answer his phone or return a voice mail was stressful on the parents. Then once they knew it was not their son, it became a new stress or concern...

wishing he had lived, because I want to know how he forgot he had a handgun in his pants? I had to strip down and put on scrubs to do my 2 or 3 MRIs and CT scans. No street clothes allowed. Just curious

donning flame resistance suit here now. As NCM and worked with a lot of officers who were from the RMC and the Civilian Universities here is what I noticed and it might not be the case anymore as times have changed and it could still be a current thing. A group officers get to a staff...

To me this sounds like another person complaining about the "free education" program offered if they sign the line. You want to fly jets and get paid for it? You want a free education and get paid for it? You want to be able to take these skills the tax payer paid for and you owe nothing in 10...

It is so easy to judge and react to things that we personally have no control over. History and currents events are suppose to teach the right way and the wrong way of handling things. Is dropping a nuke the best option? I personally think not but telling your troops that 1 million of you...

I think by the time war in the Pacific was drawing to a close and the only thing stopping it from being over the planned invasion of the main islands of Japan. People were tired of the war, some of them been fighting the war for 3 and half years and never saw any where close to home and could...

I kind of agree with the use of equipment over the use of troops and close quarter combat The job of the command is bring their troops home using everything and anything to do that It was a public relations nightmare till the officer spoke up

https://www.military.com/history/bulldozer-assault-of-desert-storm-saw-us-army-opt-out-of-trench-warfare.html this is how to clear trenches like the final line ""I know burying people like that sounds pretty nasty," Col. Lon Maggart told Seattle Times reporter Patrick J. Sloyan, "but it would...

I toured it as a kid when it was at Ontario Place. I will have to go to back. Tour the ship and war bird museum on the same day

If this group had control over purchasing of equipment for the CAF, the budget would increase would be huge and every base in Canada would be in need of serious upgrades and new ranges. The shopping list includes New trucks, ( some already coming on line and and upgrades in numbers) LSVW...

This is just my opinion and not based on anything other than what I have read else where and watched as it unfolded Past GG did not want to do anything that involved the Military with regards to religion, or had bag pipes. She would not attend Presentations of Colours ,because of the Drum...
