Indeed.  This is not new.  However, it's just something the CF has gotten a little rusty at.  I don't think it would be the worst if DND created an agency like the American DIA to help in these respects.

Ahh ok.

They are not 'our personnel' they are contractors.  WE are guests of the Afghan government we are not invaders so yeah we have an obligation to inform them if we are using non-Canadian contractors.  Afghanistan is a sovereign country-so determined by the Supreme Court of Canada.      In theory...

No of course not.  The Canadian Forces will have to inform the Government of Afghanistan that they have foreign contractors within sovereign Afghan territory.  The issue is not whether these folks will be in danger.  Israel is ostensibly as dangerous as Afghanistan and Israelis know how to...

The issue is not the CF are buying Israeli equipment, it is that Israeli contractors may be used to operate the UAV's.  Given that Afghanistan is a Muslim country and not exactly known for being magnanimous to its Jewish citizenry and to Israeli this process may prove to cause some backlash.

I have heard that the Heckler & Koch USP has incorporated some of the design aspects of the BHP would this be a better potential replacement than a Glock? 

Sorry about that.  Good to know we have some excellent civil servants helping out  :)

:( Indeed. 

Or the state could stop subsidizing the polluting companies.   The oil companies in Alberta are subsidized by billions from the federal government and even more billions from the provincial government.  And yet those in Alberta have to experience inflation because these subsidized companies can...

Canada is both a net importer and a net exporter of oil and gas.  West of the Ottawa Valley it is an importer, west it is an exporter. This Conservative blogger and all Conservatives should look to Germany as a model.  They have an economy that makes ours, which is practically solely reliant...

Somewhere in between the Type 59 and 88?

Type 88?

Chinese origins?

I am not alluding to what you seem to think I am alluding too.  I am merely point at that the U.S is spending itself into bankruptcy.  Sure big business is doing awesome. Like GM, Ford and any of the other big five auto manufacturers.  If you look at the Fortune 500 Top 10 you will see...

George Wallace-If you look at the deficit and debt of the United States its pretty close to going broke too.    Don't believe me?  Check with the former Comptroller General of the United States...
