Not if you start to look at person hours over life cycles of a project(s). Then if you look at the overall trade deal that could be coming with them. Oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, smelting plants green energy products such as battery plants. The manufacturing of the infrastructure...

No less them a tandem 46k rear end set up but I would go with the 50k set up. Then you can haul almost any military required load cross country. I would go with the heavy planetary set up for tank hauler and heavy wreckers along with the specialty trucks requiring heavy off road hauling. I...

Buying trucks isnt the problem, nor is upfitting them or transferring equipment over. The issue is they want direct benefits to the few to many hands in the pot in between. I would love to see the Cdn Military operating C500 KWs across the board. The series of trucks are so versatile in their...

How many km and hours are on them? What shape are they actually in? Ya they should be doing low rate purchasing to sustain all the fleets

I think there is much more then building a few subs and armored vehicles in the works with South Korea at play here. They want a safe secure partner moving forward for energy supply both conventional and Nuclear. They want safe and secure access to minerals we have, they want our tech sectors...

That is very interesting statement. QC is required at different levels and standards.. we have many people in this country who are skilled in welding exotic metals in pressure vessel situations. I have to ask when they make repairs to the pressure hulls of our current and past subs who made...

Part III of the NDA might disagree

Taken in to context the NES policy, along with when a member of the Reserves is subject to the CSD how would one expect to get an actual conviction under the sections you have stated? How do you interpret NDA 33(3)? Add to that the previous cancellations where the Military has cancelled...

There are a few rules province to province on how this works. I would Say if the Reservist responds by phone within a hour they have met the requirements of a fan out. expecting a Reservist to leave their place of work and or school for a call out would put their standing in question...

I wonder if much of the AI hesitation here is the fact that skill fade happens very quickly and our industries do not want to loose the physical/mental experience we already have. Our Military has been fighting this for decades. Artillery is one example where high tech is good until it isn't...

What does Canada not have the capability to build here defence wise? What defence industry would we have to add to be a Proper Military? Right now we build/ manufacture entire and various components for Aircraft, that includes casting, machining and certifying. We build minor and major...

That's funny because Basic Training use to teach that stuff on numbers in sections etc. They would teach the very basic level of a section attack. One would have a bit of idea when they moved onto their trades training ie Infantry, Armored etc. Some of the best Soldiers I ever worked with were...

There was suppose to be a large peace deal made in the ME a couple of years ago. That would have opened a lot of prosperity across the entire area. It only makes sense that the people who live in the area want to work with each other and start to put their differences aside to make money...

These issues are not a Failed Reserve Force., it is a failed leadership at multiple levels. If a unit Regular Force or Reserve is being run poorly that is on the COC, I have seen what a well tuned unit looks like along with what a badly run Unit is. Both Reg and Reserve. They both share a very...

People talk about China weaponizing industry and such, so we should not be allowing them to invest in Canadian infrastructure such as pipelines, refinery's etc. Little bit of research would show they are already invested in those projects (directly and indirectly). Here we have what we thought...

Japan might buy some oil from us. Although it is not the best route Europe might ship that way.

Why not? They have invested billions into our economy already. But we sell resources, we need customers for those resources. The US has proven to be less then desirable as a customer for many years. Soft wood lumber, oil. NG iron ore and the list goes on. Many of those oil protests have been...

I would rather try and find 50% of the staff verses 100% of the staff in time of Urgency. Its risk management. One that currently we take a lot of risk with very little management........ You never loose if you have a trained person either deployed or working at home fixing gear, training others...

Putin stated he wants his Former states back. That includes a large portion of Europe today.

The last year or 10 have been concerning, this past year more so. If a person starts to lineup timelines of gun confiscation, civil order control, moving of large corporations HQ and manufacturing south of the border and now the recent threat of annexing Canada, Greenland It makes one wonder if...
