Lots of people have/had previously non-restricted firearms like Tavors, AR 180 variants, etc., so the RCMP would have no idea who has them. They just sent an email to everybody with a PAL, to make sure nobody had an excuse if they are caught after 30 Oct with a now prohibited firearm. I'm...

When I lived in Victoria there were plenty of people who had cool NR guns that had them for fun out at Vic Fish and Game, other ranges in the area, or the local crown land shooting spots, but weren't what you would consider "dyed in the wool traditional conservatives"... On the contrary, many...

Defense industries aren't Apple or General Mills, they are vital industries for the defense of the nation. If they require the government to pay a bit more to keep the industry alive, that's just part of the cost of being a sovereign nation. We aren't talking about making all of our shoes, and...

Based on what? How many of the owners are urban/suburban shooters who do it for fun rather than die-hard gun rights people making a stand?

Perhaps we need to accept that we need to pay more to ensure that people have jobs that actually exist, and aren't "information age" jobs that will cease to exist as AI progresses. The realistic scenario is that America cuts off supply of parts either as a weapon in the ongoing trade war, or...

That's what the DIS is supposed to be about doing. Bringing defense industry back to Canada, and investing in the R&D necessary to make our own kit that others want to buy.

I wonder how many more years of this sort of behaviour America's business will tolerate this before demanding the GoP do something about him.

100% South Korea becoming an arms exporter is a direct result of how America treated them.

How would a corvette with 8 NSMs have changed that scenario? Are we planning to sink every boat without AIS? Good border control starts well before our borders, and well outside our strike range,

Totally fair, and there are likely quite a few others who did that too. That said, there are likely also lots of people who aren't that fussed about the whole thing, and just want to make a buck back for their now illegal property. The terminally online, deep into the firearms fight crowd, is...

Last I saw was 32K firearms registered for compensation. That just means that the 32K guns will be paid in full, and everybody else with get nothing for the privilege of destroying/handing in their firearms. After the last shooting, there is pretty much zero chance of an amnesty extension, or...

Except, there is nothing to hunt there if you have a navy and air force. The closest adversary is on the far side of the Pacific, so you sink them in blue water before they ever get near your coast.

They are cool ships, but they would be completely impractical for us. When Max Bernays was in Hawaii we had huge lines to come visit, because the ship looked "cool". The AOPVs are infinitely more useful than a Skjold would be, and they attract lots of attention. If we build modern corvettes...

You seem to be displaying fundamental a lack of understanding of what an alliance is supposed to be. One doesn't join a mutual defense alliance to "deal with things" on one's own...

Because he is waging economic war on us to make us a vassal state...

If we needed armed boats in the inside passage between Vancouver Island and the mainland, or on the Great Lakes, those might make some sense. As it stands, we don't need armed boats in those areas, and those would be pretty useless in the North Atlantic or North Pacific. We need ocean going...

We also have a tendency to make staff/admin work as difficult as possible, so that people don't bother with it...

He's been a better premier than most that I have seen over 20+ years of watching politics. When faced with backlash against an unpopular and frivolous choice, he adjusts course. Most just bash on and hope that the tiny vocal minority they are appealing to come out on election day. The LPO...

It also likely reflects a lot of "trainingitis" in Western nations. We know what we should be doing, but since it's just an exercise, we will do what is convenient. The real danger comes in when trainingitis hits during real events... Like when PRO's attack teams didn't use AFFF because they...
