    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    They won't sell it as every gun owner is dangerous, but "if it saves just one life"... The public didn't care when our stuff was made prohibited back in 2020, they aren't going to care that the government takes away the amnesty after 6 years, and after offering a buy-back programme...

    It was one of the big pushes from D Met Oc before I left a little while back, so hopefully things are progressing well.

    The Weather

    Canada has used various sound models in the past, and is working on selecting/developing a newer version for the future. Back end stuff like this never makes the headlines, even in the CAF publications, but Director Meteorology and Oceanography (D Met Oc) is always working with national and...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    I'm not sure that bothers them at all. The other 38 million Canadian's who don't own firearms and know nothing about the laws will just see a bunch of people who aren't so trustworthy and "law abiding" at all, and maybe shouldn't have other types of firearms. They said they might not pay for...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    She's angry, but I think this whole stunt is just the government getting ahead of a class action for compensation. They have sent multiple emails, and now made a press statement directly appealing to people to pass along the information so people can be compensated. If someone tries in the...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Its been the norm since the 70s, so I expect the trend will continue.

    Loadsa "independents" on the Ballot Discussion (split from PP by-election)

    I think that's an easy opinion to express when the group clearly went all-in against the party you don't support. When they get 90+ people against a LPC or NDP dominant candidate I will concede that they are equal opportunity disruptors. Until then, they are partisan hacks playing the system...

    GBAD - The return of 'FOBS'

    Is it lack of knowledge, or lack of lawful authority to shoot anything that moves?

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    That is thumbing one's nose at others... Even if the people doing it don't care to notice. I'm from PEI, I am from the actual East, the other ignored part of the country...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    You hit a key point there. The people of the West don't have the same political sensibilities as the East, and see their views and way of life being trampled by the East. That's not a problem of seat distribution, it's a problem of "winner take all" politics. The East gloats over their...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Mass non-compliance might also be used as an excuse to hammer firearms even harder, since so many "lawful" owners refused to follow the law... Might not impact middle aged and older people in rural areas, but it could kill firearms for future generations of the government goes hard on...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    I'm not sure it's just about "getting things done", I suspect it's equally about the optics of "getting things done". Part of the lack of popularity of the LPC was the cynical mid-pandemic election they called because they were polling well at the time. PMMC is likely smart enough to not want...

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    I'll take a clapped out CPF over a new NK ship... If the last few wars haven't taught people that just because it's new and shiny doesn't meant it's effective, I'm not sure what will... How are the Russian T-14 Armata's working for them? What about the Terminators and S400s?

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I am not singing up to read, but 30 hours sounds like the time fighting, then overhauling/clearing gases/cleaning. When PRO had it's fire most of the crew in the after house were forced to relocate because of the smoke contamination. People were living all over the ship, to the point that we...

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    If we end up in another WWII style fight, just like in WWII, most ships will be emergency programme ships that are less complex than what we are building now. We will also surge defence R&D, as well as production so costs and build times will decrease. We don't operate like that outside of war...

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Part of the point of the CDCs is to get more Canadian firms into the warship business, it isnt an emergency plan to replace the CPFs. That's not yet on the table, and is unlikely to be on the table short of a declared war akin to WWII.
