True, but could be entertaining though. Their most significant surface combatants are 3 USCG Hamilton Class cutters. But they do have a LPD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Equipment_of_the_Philippine_Navy?wprov=sfti1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It even made the news here in Ireland. RTÉ is the Irish equivalent to the CBC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's awesome!

ERC, I couldn't agree more with your post. Are you running for "Regent of Canada"?

I agree, I would compare the situation to the Martin era Liberals, where the LPC was clearly past it's best before date, but the Conservatives were not yet viewed as "ready for prime time".  I can forsee a the CPC reduced to a minority government in the next election and a Trudeau (god help us)...

As a life long Tory, it saddens me to say it, but I think the CPC has allready become stale and corrupt as evidenced by the steady trickle of scandals erupting around various Senators and MPs. Certain members seem to have entered the "terminal entitlement" phase of the political life cycle. My...

Off topic and a bit OCD, but I notice that the article spelled "Department of National Defence" as "Defense". I understand that some news papers follow American spelling and that the Canadian Press wire service historically has, but the proper name of the department is spelled with a C rather...

How about the HMCS Battle of Groningen or HMCS Groningen, honour a major World War 2 victory by the Canadian Army, and being a Dutch city, a way to thank those good folks for cutting us a deal.

I think given the history of our main stream media in this country, the CPC are in a no-win situation on the MHP acquisition. Even though the MHP program and the Victoria Class acquisition were initiated by the prior Liberal government you continue to see no end of handwringing in the press...

I was issued that once, a very long time ago. The lagoon green shirt was lovely.

Don't forget to lobby to rename the "Canadian Army" back to "Force Mobile Command", but only after it has been allready been renamed "Active Militia", which is even more historical.

I've actually often had the same thought. My current preference is Prince Edward. A's he seems to mostly avoid the tabloids, I'd still married and has two children to act as heirs.

While I don't see a difference between a Humanist Chaplain and a Social Worker either. However, being a chaplain conveys certain protections under the Geneva Convention. I wonder if the same noncombatant status would be extended to a Social Worker? Or would they fall into the same category as...

Sounds like we might be inventing the Electoral College..

I suppose it would depend on the method chosen to select the Governor General, i.e. election, direct of indirect or appointment? The strength of the current appointment process is the choice is intensely scrutinized by the opposition, the press and the monarch.  Given the quality (or lack) of...

My example is slightly more recent and unfortunately, I fear, a more likely outcome.

Like this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikl%C3%B3s_Horthy

Now the obvious question is, would a real suicide bomber, identify himself so plainly as such with the radiation symbol on his pack? Or is wouldn't such a person try to blend in with everyone else to make successful deployment more likely?  It would seem to be a publicity stunt and nothing more.
