That sort of plan makes the job of logistics significantly harder. Logistics is hard enough already, we should be looking for ways to make it easier. The more effort we waste on the simple things, like upper control arms, the less time we have for the complex tasks. I agree, we need continuous...

Based on working with someone connected to a person who was in the Middle East when the war kicked-off, it was the CAF that dropped the ball on this. There is no way the PM is tracking where every CAF member outside of Canada is at all times. The CAF seems to have failed to consider that there...

The Senator and ISV/LUVW are entirely different beasts. I'm not arguing against Rochel making the Senator, I'm arguing that on top of the Senator, we need a boat load of green fleet utility vehicles, and GM already makes them... Just get GM to make them here, on a small line dedicated to...

When I came home from Afghanistan for HLTA I went from rations for breakfast, to the KAF tent DFAC streamline food, to Camp Mirage custom made omelets in the span of three days. It was a massive shock to my system lol.

The whole point of picking GM Defense is to have a standard product that has parts compatibility with the civilian vehicles driven all over the country. We don't need every town making trucks, and we don't need the entire automotive production capacity of the nation dedicated to making army...

100% Pick a winner (GM Defence), and give them enough work to justify a small plant/section of a plant in Canada.

My last trip on WIN the cooks had given up and the food was terrible, but generally you're right. Though a couple of my trips were over 8 months... That's a long time to have little say over what you eat, apart from the port visits.

I'm not in the least shocked by this. I have heard about suppression of scientific studies that run counter to the preferred narrative for a while now. Turns out, when you control the funding, you control the narrative... The science will say what the backers want it to say when it comes...

I'm not anti-Carney, I'm just pointing out the level of partisan silliness I see on here directed at Poilievre. Poilievre delivered the best national numbers for the CPC since the 80s, despite the LPC taking essentially the entire CPC policy after parachuting in a celebrity(of sorts) leader...

To say having 41.3% of the votes for his party, 2.5% less that the grand victor, is a rejection is equally ridiculous.

You're intentionally ignoring my point to further your partisan point. We get it, you dislike PP. As I said, neither got a majority, so both were "rejected" by the Canadian electorate. That was my point.

Then he was subsequently elected in a safe riding, like the riding Carney won. I'm not interested int he partisan pissing contest, Carney didn't get a majority and neither did Poilievre, ergo both were "rejected" by the electorate write large.

By that metric they also rejected Carney...

It's almost as if brining in hundreds of thousands of people over and above the normal numbers has consequences. Consequences that hit the low and middle income earners the hardest.

The real problem is how do you maintain those "extra" positions when there are a limited number of CAF personnel allowed, and new capabilities/technologies that require people coming online all the time? If we had a rotational crewing system that was predictable and robust we wouldn't have the...

I heard it from a source with direct ties to the unit of one of the members listed, but I won't say more so I don't out my source. Like I said, just a rumor.

Yes, but @Eaglelord17 was simply pointing out that they could have those feelings in private and not act on them at work. Which is why it goes back to the reality that they might have hidden their racism while in the office, and expressed it in private. That is also a rumor that one of them...

Depends... They can easily be smart enough to not say things at work. Particularly if they keep to themselves at work. Hard to say, we have zero information about them beyond being on the site. As noted above they could easily be loners who don't talk to people at work much beyond talking...

We don't actively monitor the social media of our subordinates, so it could easily have gone unremarked/unreported by their co-workers/friends. I suspect it's even worse for the reserves, where someone might only see their CAF co-workers once every week or two for a few hours. They could easily...

Reasonable enough, but you'd also hopefully understand that putting to sea at all is a putting your crew in danger. There are no "exercise" boundaries when it's a war. REG at sea 2000km from the "fight" is still in the fight. Not at all. The best leadership I have seen in the CAF has come from...
