    The low productivity of Canadian companies threatens our living standards

    I'm curious what trade required a two year diploma? I went to community College for machinist. That was an 8 month course and when completed we were credited with a full year completed of a four year apprenticeship. I didn't end up staying in the machinist trade and a couple years later I...

    Replacing the Subs

    If this was the U.S. there would be many movies made about this by now.

    Auctions

    There are some but they are not shipping firearms or ammo at this auction. I'm a 3 hour drive away so I'll pass this time. The last auction would ship firearms but not ammo.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    That reminds me of the operation Black buck refueling plan https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Refuelling.plan.black.buck.svg/800px-Refuelling.plan.black.buck.svg.png

    Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

    Trudeau will just appoint another fall guy to serve up the same report. His worshipers will take it and rearrange the paragraphs and say it's a new report. There is no chance Trudeau will accept any heat for this.

    De Havilland Cannada announces new calgary manufacturing facility

    I would imagine the 415's require much less lake to scoop from also. Interesting note The mars uses the same engines as the CP-107 Argus

    De Havilland Cannada announces new calgary manufacturing facility

    Tronos Aviation in Summerside P.E.I. was converting BAE-146's to air tankers. I'm not sure how many they completed or if they are still doing it. Their website no longer mentions air tankers. Neptune aviation operates 9 BAE-146's and I know two came from Tronos. I'm not sure of the others. I...

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    I guess, but If I was spending the money they are to try to land a yet to be announced contract I would want my offering to be at least as capable as the current ships. Unless I had been told by someone at the RCN that the official position is the azipods weren't necessary. Otherwise If another...

    The kingstons have azipods but the vard dosent? Did the RCN decide the azipods were unnecessary?

    Opportunity to update the CC-150 fleet?

    Didn't the liberals scream foul when Harper painted the CC-150 with that scheme. Now they used it on the CC-330? 🤷‍♂️ I like it BTW I just can't figure this government out.

    What book are you reading now?

    Audiobook if that counts. A man called Intrepid by William Stevenson. The book is about William Stephenson the WW1 fighter pilot turned master spy from Winnipeg who was the inspiration for James bond. P.s. the narrator is not helping the book any. I believe it would be much better with someone...

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    That was likely windows spell check having a coniption fit when you try to use canadian/british spelling. https://www.scribbr.com/us-vs-uk/defence-vs-defense/#:~:text=The%20spelling%20tends%20to%20vary,s%E2%80%9D)%20is%20more%20common.

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    If the RCN gets the 60B for the subs I doubt we will see an MCDV replacement. I am guessing but I see the argument as "the AOPS can do the MCDV job while we study (I.e. put off indefinetly) what the best MCDV replacement should be.

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    How do you get there from my response. I didn't say anything about my opinion of the way the government handled the situation. I only commented that this time it worked out in our favor.

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    Had we bought the F-35s years ago we would have had buggy planes. Stalling has actually helped us tremendously in this one example. They are also a whole lot cheaper now than years ago.
