That is a very interesting take. Would you mind expanding on the last thought?

When top line numbers are incentivized over everything else, things like this tend to happen.

As you should. I feel shame…

Right! I failed my “Life of Brian” test!

That is funny.

I am not good at word games. Hint, please?

The 105mm might be a problem, as well as generating gun dets for that duty while also converting Reg and Res Arty units to other weapons in that period. Honestly, Parks Canada has had almost 60 years to figure this out. Almost everywhere else in the world Parks or highways staff do this job.

Look at you being a Nav Arc! :)

Why do you hate the RCAF so much?

Would that be the Don River?

I wonder if I should be submitting a CF98, given that I have interacted with some of those things over my flying career…

Weirdly, I actually understand the situation that you are trying hard not to describe. Most people today serving in the CAF have grown up in a zero redundancy environment where we only have one (or sometimes less than one) of a thing, because that is all we had the money for. Or we rode legacy...

I am not sure what would be worse: Paying Bombardier to plumb the Global 650 for AAR or paying Airbus to make a bespoke A220 AEW aircraft. (Hint: both will be spendy for Canada). I do like the idea of buying more A330 MRTT. Too many tankers? Said no one, ever.

It works for Europe, where you have a military airfield every 50NM. It will be a heavy lift in Canada’s Arctic, to have legal alternates. If the Alternates even have gas for you.

I can’t find anything to like about the idea.

I’m not advocating. I am trying to understand the author’s line of reasoning that Canada has adequate shipbuilding capacity.

If you bring in Davie and the yards on the Great Lakes…maybe?

Then you should go sit in a corner and think about your considerable crime against humanity… ;)

I think you spelt “USN” wrong…

I think we missed an opportunity to work either hockey jerseys or red and black plaid jackets into the new service dress…
