    CAF Procurement

    So I imagine a PM could rewrite what ever contract he wants to. Carny should work some DND Friday's and just get stuff done.

    CAF Procurement

    I truly wonder why the Government doesn't just scales up the choices that have already been made. Confirm the two extra P-8'S. In for 14 already so.... Spikes, Carl G's, and RBS-70's in Army wide quantity. Not an American in the bunch. Go ahead , finally, with General Eyre's ammunition plan...

    Rise and Fall of the NDP - 2015 - ????

    There is something wonky going on with the Conservatives. I was recently contacted to contribute to the Conservatives but I asked apparently an awkward question. I stated that Katy Telford and Gerry Butts delivered four Liberal Governments and left. Jenny Byrne lost four elections but is still...

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    I mentioned that facility because Jim Irving still owns it and no the only thing filling the drydock is water. No doubt some TLC would be needed but the main assembly hall is where the wallboard is made and there is plenty of yard space around the former ship building . If need be I am sure the...

    Active Shooter In NS. April 19 2020

    Bang On Halifax. I have customers all over NS and I have asked some of them if they have added or turned in their weapons. ALL have added. There is a definite feeling of being on their own if stuff happens. The Burnside Bunker however hums' along with over 500 RCMP stationed there. Rural NS...

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

    I can see the CCG offering incentives for security patrols and eventual procurement of say Webber class patrol craft over time. The Coast Guard has been known to do different things. In my best Forest Gump voice "It's just another thing"

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Hopefully the Ice Breaker idea morphs into say an ice belted Karl Doorman class. Something the Navy (maybe the RCAF as well) can find a use for and some dog and Pony stuff up to an Ice edge. Fly off some Chinooks with BV-206's dangling for the camera's and the Whitehouse see's us doing something.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I flew to Toronto a couple of years back and the A/C was diverted to Hamilton for reasons never explained. So as we sat there stranded My seatmate and I struck up a conversation as to why we were both there. Turns out he was a senior Air Canada Engineer flying from Halifax to Toronto for his...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Would the USCG Webber class be a better STAN option for Canada? Longer and Wider than ours and the Yanks seem to send them everywhere.

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    How helpful will the Scottish experience be for lessons learned and a "don't do this" Manual for the Irving workforce. I am assuming there is a lot of interaction or planned to be cooperation with all aspects of our build process. Just don't let anyone go to OZ as they may not come back.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    The first act of Trudeau as P.M. back in 2015 was ordering our 6 Pack of CF-18's out of Kuwait to give the poor ISIS bunch a chance.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    So Carney should fly into Germany and Sweden and commit to some Leo's and CV-90's. You just know he wants to firehose more money.
