    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Understood. I was questioning more along the lines of the initial assessments in terms of the status of the existing facilities back when this was kicked off - the status of the airfield, the status of the docks/wharf, the road beds/status to Arctic Bay, etc. Have a read of this 2013...

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Hopefully someone with some clout and ability will be charged with the authoring of a 'lesson's learned' document from all of this. One that will be included/referenced in future decision making processes. All mistakes and missteps can and should be learned from.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    What, if any, similar roles exist in NATO countries today? In Australia, NZ?

    Glad to see that someone finally had the testicular fortitude to stand up and make this decision. https://archive.ph/KYvWZ Ottawa to pull plug on Arctic naval facility

    Yes And I’ve seen interviews with Irish farmers saying that they have chosen not to plant any crops this season because of the costs of diesel and fertilizer. So, a reduction in the amount of food being grown leads to a reduction in the food available.

    Look to the Dutch - German relationship, or, another similar relationship - Ireland - UK. The 'underdogs' are the Dutch and the Irish. Both have alot in common with our situation with the US. But, unlike us, both have managed to keep their larger neighbour at arms length (though in the past...

    Continental Defence Corvette

    The amount is like Goldilocks porridge - not to hot and not to cold - an amount that won't necessarily set people off initially but just enough to show that something potentially serious is happening. 5B for the first batch of 5?

    Sadly alot of it centers around the fact that there are too few Canadian 'Champions' left across many industries. Selling out the the US and others has been the 'cultural norm' for the last 7 decades.

    Surprisingly in some pockets of the Caribbean Canada actually has a significant presence and historical connection (how many from the Caribbean joined the CDN military during WWII?). It makes complete sense for us to have a larger, more permanent presence there.

    Also, us taking over Belize might give the Americans a pause on their need for Greenland. I mean, they take Alaska and gain most of its coastline to box us in from the West, we take Belize and start to box them in from the south-east.... :)

    I think that those islands would be way too small to be able to accommodate 41m people trying to stake out their beach towels. Why not try for Belize instead? They speak English already, much bigger place, much larger coastline. Need to secure the land borders with Mexico, but hey, a tropic...

    Yet the US stock market is breaking all records and oil today is down another 7$ a barrel. The disconnect with reality is real.

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    Like ALL (well, almost all), countries, there are periods within their history when they truly shine bright and are really the beacon on a hill. There are also times when the opposite is true. Some countries have more of 1 than the other. Some had their 'moment in Sun' 2,000+yrs ago (I'm...

    While I agree in principle, in practicality that won't ever work. No one in the US does any manufacturing in the US Great Plains - North/South Dakota, Iowa, Montana and no one in the US does any manufacturing in Maine or Vermont, New Hampshire. The population centers aren't there, the...
