Should be 2nd Battalion LdSH. Can’t have two regiments of the same type in a single brigade, and it will improve career management & flexibility. The RCD should have not started to move C Sqn from Gagetown. Would have given them a great position from which to argue for a 2nd battalion instead...

He’s definitely following the standard for dictators’ pretexts for an invasion.

But at least the seats in the 1990s had more leg room.

I'd be interested to see the PS to Population trend from 1945 to present, but best I can find only goes back to '80's. Ref: Bloat in the Federal Public Service: Justin Trudeau Ranks Last among Canadian Prime Ministers over the Past 40 Years | Montreal Economic Institute

If the US wants back into the circle of trust for democracies, it is going to have to be as aggressive whenever the current regime changes. In other news,

I think most people reached this conclusion a lot earlier. https://www.ledevoir.com/monde/moyen-orient/940788/amnesty-accuse-hamas-avoir-commis-crimes-contre-humanite?

Maybe have a flipping clue before concocting conspiracy theories?

It is an authoritarian kleptocracy and a “show me your papers” state. There is no longer a right to privy, not freedom from random search & detention. But, wealth can buy privilege, including pardon for pretty horrible crimes, for some. The CAF is going to find it harder and harder to fill...

You probably mean DLI? Unless the “infrastructure” is to be a couple vans down by the river.

Not sure what quotation marks are supposed to communicate, but lighter rafts & floating bridge won’t carry our tanks nor heavy logistics vehicles.

FIFA is going to want its medal back. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/12/07/trump-thailand-cambodia-peace-deal-under-threat/

The CA posted pers to work in IAMD, but the office is part of the Air Staff.

I expected to see more explicit mention of the Joint Deployable Headquarters (currently still with the name "1st Cdn Div HQ"), Canadian Forces Joint Operational Support Group, Canadian Forces Joint Signal Regiment, and Canadian Materiel Support Group in the announcement of CJFC. I assume the...

Likely a good way to imagine it. I hope it becomes an effective resource to FG the JTFSC for deployed ops, and I hope it improves institutional support at home. But time will tell if that is the case. They don’t belong there, but there are people in both institutional Army & Air Force who seem...

CJOC is the joint force employment command of the CAF. The CJFC will be a joint force generator and an institutional support command. No. CJFC will take staff organizations & L2 formations from other commands (including CJOC, SJS, & MPC).

I did not know we were murdering survivors - I thought we were just desecrating bodies does not seem like a particularly great defence.

Nah. The Gulf War vet’s parents were born in the late thirties. They were in public school when Pearl Harbour was bombed … Grandpa will talk about it in the third episode of season 2.

I mean, the typical war vet grandpa trope on TV today seems to reference Vietnam. But if you were to produce a new sitcom about a 30-something couple with young school aged kids, then the kids would be COVID babies while the parents would have been born early to mid ninties, and Grandpa would...

If every generation is entitled based on virtues of their forebears, then every generation is liable for the sins of their forebears. And “in the past 100 years” sort of misrepresented one big thing we did 80 to 90 years ago. Are you blaming Europe for Russia becoming a violent expansionist...
