    Trump administration 2024-2028

    As a friend of mine said: The only thing certifiable in this tiff is Trump. My understanding at this point is that, of the four types of Gulfstream planes Trump mentioned in his post, two are already certified by Canada, one is in the process and nearing certification and the last one has only...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Quite a few of them actually. And in the Black sea too! Any other colour of sea we should be thinking about before they retire?

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I hope somebody explained to him what happened to the last "armada".

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    To be fair, Underway, we haven't even had a chance of using a tanker as a combatant in the last ten years. So, it's only been for a period of 15 years. :)

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Ok. So likely the Terry Fox.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    I just saw that the Minister of Defense announced that a Canadian warship would be in Greenland next week for the opening of the Canadian consulate. I can only assume that , at this of year, it will be one of the AOPS. Anyone knows which one?

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    I am sorry, NavyShooter. I just look at your models and can't help but think: God! Those are going to be big bastards.

    Quebec Election

    The only real issue is whether Alberta and Quebec would recognize dual citizenship. At the moment of actual "separation", any residents of these provinces - now turning into a state - would have been born Canadians or naturalized Canadian. They could not lose that citizenship. The same cannot be...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Stupid question here, probably coming from my ignorant Canadian perspective: Can you be said to be resisting arrest if the LEO hasn't said the magic words (You are under arrest) and given you a chance to simply surrender to him/her?

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Yep! While Trump muses about Canada becoming the 51st state, he is blind to the much greater probability of the US breaking up into five or six separate nations.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    So, the high end vessels of the Deutsche Marine wont be available on time or in sufficient numbers fast enough, as a result of which the D.M will seek a certain number of lower end vessels to keep up numbers in the mean time. Sounds familiar? Anyone? Anyone? UK? Canada? Anyone?

    A Deeply Fractured US

    That is exactly how it works when you are deployed in aid to civil powers in Canada, Kilted. For Octoberfest (FLQ crisis), the troops in Quebec answered to the Crown in right of Quebec, that is the Lt-Governor as advised by the Premier, under the supervision of the Quebec Minister of Justice...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Because right now, we don't have any 76's left (we sold them back to Italy IIRC). The idea is providing as much of the weapons and sensors/combat system as possible to make the build faster.

    Shot in the back. Cowards!!!!!

    A Deeply Fractured US

    I'm pretty sure we all know the spirit in which you offered the original comment, and its fine. P.S. I was just on the phone earlier today with my sister, who happens to live in a suburb of Minneapolis, about 12 miles from downtown. She says it's fairly quiet at her place, but it is mostly...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Don't even need to go there. You go out right now and tell shipbuilders (excepts ISI and Seaspan): You have our size, speed and ice strength requirements. We will provide you with radars (either the Sea Giraffe or the Smart S from the HALs - I could accept Thales NS110 bought new by Canada)...

    Replacing the Subs

    Is it just me, or does the airframe actually look like a damn Bombardier Global express?

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    This white house is run by ignoramuses for other ignoramuses, called MAGA voters. They would probably put out something with polar bears in Antarctica and think it is factual.

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    Well. First thing is, I personally think Scott Bessent is the only Trump government official who is actually and demonstrably stupider than Trump himself. second thing is, I don't think Smith herself is stupid enough to put her party at risk of splitting over a question she knows will lose any...
