    I don't know if this is the same exercise but different perspectives highlight the violence. https://www.google.com/search?q=torpedo+sink+exercise&udm=7&uact=5#fpstate=ive&ip=1&vld=cid:e07eb908,vid:skE_nntyrIg,st:0

    Replacing the Subs

    True; although it does seem like an odd trial balloon/deliberate leak but I'm not into 4D political chess.

    Chosen by Iranians - so long as he approves of the choice, apparently.

    Replacing the Subs

    Voicing an opinion, even a contrary one, inside your workplace is one thing; particularly if said workplace has an established level of information security and confidentiality. Carrying that discussion - even just your part of it - into the public realm without permission, well . . .

    "Dairy group to seek designated status for ‘Quebec poutine cheese’ "

    They would be better off trying to obtain status for the end product - poutine - rather than a single ingredient, which would be a closer comparator to Champagne and Scotch Whisky. I'm not all that up on diary processes but I get the sense that making curds is pretty universal, and eating them...

    "Dairy group to seek designated status for ‘Quebec poutine cheese’ "

    So their curds are different than anybody else's curds? What's next, their maple syrup is special?

    The advisor to the West's brand new theocracy; the one that just attacked another theocracy. But it's not a war. You hero said so.

    Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    Perhaps easier in a small community. Guelph is 150K. It could go well if handled well. How the cops approach it would be coloured by the info provided by the complainant, which isn't always detached and objective. From what I've seen on here, you would quietly accept police questioning...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I suppose the sub could have ordered the ship to heave to and either be boarded or the crew sent to lifeboats before it is sent to the bottom, but I suspect the rules of engagement from SecWar have been fairly specific.

    Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    So you'd be okay with being confronted by the cops every time you are in the public with your daughter and having to explain yourself? The trouble with this type of public advocacy is it is unfiltered. it can range from a legitimate concern based on reasonable observations of the context...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Fair, but it's a lot more complex that parking a train next to a pipe and start draining oil into it.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    And all of that extra handling wouldn't add to the cost at all. Filling up a pressurized pipeline from a railcar isn't like pouring water down the drain. You would need a tank farm to accumulate the volume for the pipeline.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I would first have to be convinced there is a problem. Adopting tech from the US or elsewhere that requires some form of dedicated security, a la F-35s is an issue that needs to be addressed, but limited to where the tech will be. Is there a CF base that currently has the gate down on a...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I really don't think it matters if it is a militarized police service or a civilianized miliary service. You use - or create - a body to fulfill an identified need then empower and equipment them to do it. It could be the RCMP, a Gendarmerie or the Raging Grannies. The bottom line reality in...
