Dragoon, the idea was not to take away any other Naval capability but to offer a minimum effect force.

Sorry mouse is all over the place;       2. Liberals have already allowed medical privatization to take place in Quebec and Ontario, while    lambasting and fear mongering over the Conservatives plan for consultation of options.       3. Liberals kill all round table discussions over options...

JMacleod, did you hear Fed Minister Ujjal Dosang (former BC NDP premier) try to rake the Conservatives over the coals for a supposed HIDDEN AGENDA, re privitizing of health services. Problem is the Ujjal has no credibility and is more akin to a Liberal pit bull attacking what ever corner his...

JMacleod, BC Liberals do not have much in common with the federal Liberals, infact the provincial boys & girls cringe at the name association. BC provincial Liberals are regurgitated Social Credit supporter if you are looking for ideological association. As for up & coming leaders of a thrashed...

IMHO, Canada only has conventional subs so that we can play at games with the Americans and train our own ASW units, because we are known as "Experts" in so few fields we do not want to lose bragging rights on any points, fine. Having said that, I do not believe that conventional subs are...

Interesting info on the CL-84 Dynavert. It sure sounds to me like Canada could not see the potential to carry on with the development of a revolutionary design, hence it disappeared from Canadian aviation only to reapear as the Osprey V-22. Dare I say this sounds like another Canadian ARROW...

Bruce M, how about Senator Kenny. He is about the only one fighting for security of our borders and a viable military. Blue Max

I whole heartedly agree with both GO & Campbell. Lets stop the slide of Canadian culture into mediocrity. Blue Max

I saw most of both programs, and thought they were great. 8) B M.

Dragoon, are you saying that it is normal for a sub to have bad ventilation? B M.

Yes I stand corrected, it had something to do with inadiquate ventilation on the Oberons.   Still a risky endevour in rougth seas, to keep the hatches open. Question begs to be asked; Why do the subs have a bad ventilation system?   If this was known of the subs, why not upgrade the ventilation...

I don't understand how running on the surface with two hatches open can be common practice in the Canadian Sub forces? It seems counter intuitive. ??? If he gets any sort of reprimand, then the Liberal govt should also be held to task for stalling on the repairs in Scottland for far too long...

It is unfortunate that along with a failed govt foreign policy, the majority of our govt opposition (BQ & NDP) are goading on the Liberals to greater heights of irresponsibility. ::) Blue Max

I picked Montreal because of large Arab immigrant population, close to US east seaboard and large population centers. As well the corrupt nature of inport/export facilities as well as crime syndicates in general for the Montreal area. This is not to say that Vancouver doesn' t have most of the...

Zipper, excellent point. It reminds me of a paper I read of the point was, historically conflicts between combatants have ended because one side or the other was exhausted or beaten to a pulp, thus the willingness of one side to continue the fight was taken away eventually. Of course this...

Gentlemen, if you look carefully at the pictoral shown on SCM77's post you will notice a phone mounted on the right rear immediately above the track. B M.

Caesar, what does Chretien have to hide you ask? Just about any half rumour that was heard about his time in office, of which he was able to squash, hide or defend quite well from, to this day. Because parliament can not clear the air of Liberal political machinations to control power...

I wish our govt would explain our supposed position to parliament and the tax payers, Clearly and Early. But I doubt that is SOP for the Liberals. :-[ B M.

LOL  ;D What these politically correct times miss, is a sense of humour. :) B M.

OYAGUY, I am not sure what you are trying to get at saying only nuclear weapons will deter the US. Are you making a case for Kim Jung Il? Canada is part of NATO so that responsible democratic states can have a mutual defence pact without bankrupting our economies. We do not need nuclear weapons...
