Is there a historical example, say post 1969, of the Department of Defense and the CAF admitting that a medium or large scale equipment program had failed post delivery and then scrapped the program and changed directions?

Is Seaspan still planning on laying off large elements of its naval design staff due to lack of follow on projects? That capability was hard earned and built over the last decade. If NSS is going to be an actual strategic change to the Canadian boom and bust cycle, the Country needs to pay...

I’m going to say that 6 CCSB is not related to the comments by Comd CJOC in any way. The multi domain integration being discussed is between the various L1/2s; RCN, CA, RCAF, CAFCYBERCOM, and 3rd Cdn Space Division. I suspect the actual integration point will be JTF-N and CJOC itself.

If I was to hazard a guess, the sentiment above and overall perspective is not conducive to convincing anyone in the West to not want to separate. In fact the message is likely to drive an increased desire for separation. Just food for thought.

Technically the below CANFORGEN is still in effect but it’s only barely enforced in some units due to the utter ridiculousness of large aspects of it. CANFORGEN 076/14 DLEPS 14/014 091431Z MAY 14 CANFORGEN -076/14 - NON-AUTHORIZED SMALL ARMS MODIFICATIONS UNCLASSIFIED REFS: A...

Over anything else for upgrading an issue C7 quickly after drawing it without major disassembly I would add a good modern sling and mounts. Something like this for the buffer tube. https://grovtec.com/products/tri-base-buffer-tube-sling-mount-gtsw312 Something like this for the tri mount...

A province seeking independence though would have to consider those federal transfers in relation to the federal taxes paid by those residing in that province. That revenue to the federal government based on the federal tax rate from the residents of Alberta would represent the additional tax...

I dislike seeing soldiers having installed modern 2 point adjustable slings on their rifles, only to then not wear them properly and have them swing around like a pendulum below the gun. Especially annoying when they are specifically shooting at CQB distances. On the optics I posted this quite...

The LPC took Châteauguay—Les Jardins-de-Napierville, meaning we now have a dedicated gun control individual whose main political motive is ridding Canada of all firearms ownership. We will see if she ends up in cabinet or with a public safety nexus. Either way no matter what the else the LPC...

What could a Conservative ask for that a Liberal would even possibly consider conceding on? Would the LPC walk back their gun control fanatism in exchange for bipartisan support on defence, foreign policy etc.

The US Army has been running the Aimpoint FCS on their 84mm since 2019 I believe. 3 RCRs experience with it during an industry demo where Saab and Aimpoint brought the M4 and the FCS was eye opening. The capability was outstanding. That was about 6-7 years ago now I think.

Should have specified. Those are for the 84mm.

Has anyone seen the Aimpoint FCS in the hands of a Cdn soldier yet? Apparently they are in Latvia and have been for about 2 years. No one I have seen or spoken with even knew they were in theatre.

CMAR is ultimately still a M16 platform.

If the LPC were serious about defence they would explain how they are going to get to 2% and sustain it. They would explain how they will either cut spending in some programs and redirect it to defence or state they will deficit finance the whole deal. Since they have not done that I guess...

It’s not the size that is the issue per se, it’s the number of units and the type of units that are all competing for that space. We will see how it goes soon enough but in my opinion the CA should not be planning for its major collective training to be occurring in Latvia due to both size and...

https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2025/04/15/f-35-nations-prize-spare-parts-as-us-dismisses-kill-switch-angst/ This article has some interesting information on the F35 supply chain as well as the 1-4 Line maintenance construct. Curious to see if Canada sets up a National 4th Line...

Forgive me but f I don’t believe anything Trudeau said or says under oath or not without extensive corroborating source evidence. The man has not earned any trust or respect in his word in of itself, and that partisan display during the inquiry should not be considered as evidence of anything...

Honestly the Latvian training areas can’t handle this. Adazi is beyond maxed out and the new areas being opened will only be enough to alleviate the pressures already existing.
