@YZT580 - I think there's some confusion- I use "evangelical Leftist" in place of "woke". The opposite side of the coin to fundamentalist christians, Islamists etc. If you feeling I'm trolling I apologize. What I'm trying to do is point out that having to tolerate others beliefs and not...

In addition to Rainbow's insight on overall quality, I'll add the the Mogami's 32 VLS are only Self-Defence (or at best Tactical) length. A whole pisspot full of ESSM plus maybe ASROC capability, but no Tomahawks, no SM-2/3/6. Are the resulting benefits of scale and consistency genuinely best...

Yes. Considering isn't doing - and unnecessarily anchoring on decisions made under a fundamentally different problem set: different threat environment, different constraints, different timeline requirements, different solution options- is objectively bad strategic planning and leadership, a...

You weren't allowed to teach them evolution at home? At church? At Sunday School? They've been banned from learning it and believing it? Ranges from exasperating an exasperating call for the accommodation of the beliefs of others at one end of the spectrum, to Evangelical Leftists trying to...

But between those two fleets and the TG tasking, 15 should yield 5 at a given time yes? Did it make the Aussies unserious when they cut three future Hunters as part of a Pivot to get 11 frigates? Should they be cancelling it all and getting on with UBI? Obviously figuring out the path to 15...

"Act our size" =/= go it alone

I explicitly did include Evangelical Leftists. But please give a specific example - a core spiritual belief and/or fundamental aspect of your morality that you're being forced to drop. Keep in mind, neither of those is the same as being told you don't get to impose specific aspects of your...

Accepting the realities of the latter, the former seems like a cop out of a long term solution for a G7 nation with our coastline. I get that we haven't had the Aussie's budget and are starting way behind- but with the money flowing we should be making every effort to eventually act our size...

Could one argue that this speaks to having fewer Rivers and more CDCs/ Frigates? A task group of 3-4 Rivers seems like a lot of C2 / sensor / tonnage /$$ /crewing overkill for the actual combat power and number of targets it represents.

A doesn't require B at 100%. Maybe 20% or 30% - a foundation of compatible values- while rejecting the incompatible. I think we were largely there in the late 00's early 10's. At least my lived experience was. Tolerance of differing theory/ spirituality is easy - it only comes up when you...

What a shitty timeline where it being all posturing with this + manufacturing a friction point to justify pulling US troops from Europe is one of the more favourable scenarios

Holy fuck are you deep down the rabbit hole. The fact we're even having this discussion justifies the opinion of the entire Western world that isn't in the cult. The height of "leftist fanciful hopes" is not the US invading a NATO member and shattering not only the alliance but the world as...

One can teach what amounts to core Christian morality- the bedrock- without any discussion of scripture or the divine. Harder to justify contradictory hardline dogma though.

Hence (hilariously naively) ;)

I've heard of it happening for three very different reasons - some Muslim parents wanting to avoid "woke" public school teachings and finding less to "unteach" morally at home from a Catholic education, some just wanting (hilariously naively) to avoid the sex, drugs, and hedonism of public...

No constitutional claim- but we'd get to the point where they'd have a logical and arguably moral one- not to mention a lot of voter weight. Boooooo. My overarching point actually dovetailed into the extremism - or more accurately, combatting it at home. That's exactly where I'm coming from-...

Given the population/demographic trends- where do we draw the line of who gets choice and how many times we're willing to duplicate the effort? Catholic % for Ontario is at 26% and (likely) falling Muslim is projected to reach 10+% by 2036

It's a fine line on both sides of the fence LPC- continue inroads towards the centre vs. maintain the integrity of their pre-Carney existing voter block CPC- avoid losing votes to the right vs. risk hardening ABC voter intention A CPC win is damn near impossible without NDP (and to a lesser...

This author articulates it pretty well. It’s time to end public funding for Catholic schools in Ontario

Not to mention hopefully creating a resource dependency in our favour- potential chip to play.
