Oh stop it. There is nothing “false majority” about floor crossings. How about, Pierre, you self-reflect on why MPs are motivated to defect to the Government and work on that?

Ok, now I get your point.

Sorry- I am particularly stupid today, obviously, and am not following the bouncing ball very well. How does a german paratrooper from WW2 inform us today on how to reduce soldier carriage loads?

Sure, but rules for a WW2 german paratrooper conduct don’t really inform the debate on how to get a soldier’s load reduced.

Your point, is, what?

I wonder if they think it is already in the bag for SK and they are hoping to catch offsetting defence contract work to placate Europe?

Ted was one of the finest minds I have ever been privileged to meet. Even though I never met him in person (something that I deeply regret), I count him as a friend. We are much poorer today at Army.ca for his absence.

And if you lose money on your principle residence? Then what?

So far, we don’t have a build rate. We don’t get that until we have at least one completed Right now, we have a build schedule, set by the Govt of Canada. The schedule could be changed…

That was a fun sonar.

I would kind of prefer that nobody turned any thread into an echo chamber, thank-you very much….

My understanding is that they have now all been delivered, but I don’t pay attention day-to-day on the status of the fleet. I am not saying that there are not problems with the Cyclone problem, but, I have also found it useful over the decades to carefully and independently fact check what...

Decoy.

I see what you did, there….

The point is not being missed. The electrical grid in North America is integrated (with some notable exceptions). Almost all jurisdictions export electricity some of the time and import at other times as load balancing occurs. What matters is the net quantity, over time. Canadian producers...

Yep- we could expand it beyond our own Solar system. The Earth actually orbits the blackhole at the galactic centre. But, by convention, things are said to orbit the closest big object that they are most gravitationally influenced by.

There is a key phrase in your first sentence that requires stressing “…evaluate a would-be pilot’s ability to learn to fly”. It actually does not matter how well a student candidate does at the beginning of whatever selection simulator session that you envision. What you are actually trying to...

I know, that was how I reacted until I saw an animation of it….

If you really want your mind blown, consider that the Moon is not actually orbitting the Earth. It actually orbits the Sun, but Earth’s gravity causes it to move in a helical pattern, where the Moon and the Earth just swap positions around a fixed point in space that describes the average of...

What a complete and utter mess.
