    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I was looking at the Seaspan web site yesterday. They mentioned that they were ahead of schedule, expanding the workforce, and entirely Canadian built. In fact they very unsubtly mentioned it several times.

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    They, the u.s., were also contributing to the lab that gave us Covid if I remember correctly.

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    has there been any report, other than the lady above, of a concerted effort for the Russians who moved in after the takeover looking for a way off the peninsula? The comments I have read are more concerned with ruined vacations and inconveniences rather than a potential threat to life.

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

    Trudeau lasted the last 6 because he had the NDP in bed with him and all of them were addicted to power. When you have no ethical standard to live by it is easy to chose "what's in it for me" instead of following Kennedy's famous line. 'Ask not what your country can do for you but rather what...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Question: will GB provide any cash to contribute to said programme considering they just slashed their defense budget and lost two ministers as a result. They seem to be as reliable as Trump these days.

    RUMINT of Canada wanting more C-17's

    perhaps not but for an operator I would think that a pure cargo vessel would be more useful. There is a limited market for ferries at least on the east coast. Now if it were similar to the one operating between Denmark and the Faroes/Iceland I could see a great market for marketing it as a...

    RUMINT of Canada wanting more C-17's

    would agree if we had enough airlift to do so. Two weeks for 60 vehicles by air plus additional flights to carry the self-loading cargo vs. 1 week by sea including personnel unless you purchase enough heavy lift aircraft. Personnel by air not so much as we have sufficient A330's to do the job...

    RUMINT of Canada wanting more C-17's

    Halifax to Riga at 20 knots will do it in a week on 1 ship. Time to invest in an auxiliary fleet. 4 RO RO and 2 tankers if you wish to cover both sides and you could probably have the entire fleet up and operational in a year if you buy used. Get them Seasway sized and probably a couple of...

    Rioting across UK cities (summer 2024 and beyond)

    those are good attributes true but there are some very important descriptors missing from that list: Commitment, Consistency, dependability, truthfulness.

    Rioting across UK cities (summer 2024 and beyond)

    It was actually the case that caused me to make my comment. And no Brad, there may not be many but a few is too many.

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    and the U.S. loved it. Think of Indo-China and the Viet Cong. The French screamed for help and you came running to their aid. You have maintained bases all over the world, allowing the host nations to sit back and watch with the possible exception of Turkey. There were financial incentives...

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

    no argument. There will be some group though that takes any legislation to court to defend the kids inherent rights. Perhaps a delve into those people might reveal the 'brains' behind those websites.

    why not provided the term VALUE actually meant something and didn't change with the season

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Don't put all the credit on Carney. With Trudeau not at the helm would describe it better as in all honesty we have no idea what would have happened with the other guy. We could be better off or worse than with Carney. However we are certainly better off without his predecessor.

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

    When I can't figure out something on my computer I ask my grandkids. Even the 9 year old is able to help grandpa so I doubt short of developing foolproof digital id they will be able to keep any teen that wants on them away from the web sites. I wish it were otherwise

    Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

    sadly the response to that would be in common with the reasons that our indigenous folks got bot out by an iron hatchet and a few handful of beads. "Why make the effort to build good stuff when they will pay the same price for crap?"
