    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?"

    The NRC was using it when I was there. They kept their T33 in it I believe but that was long ago.

    ask the Canadian soldiers building a railroad through Burma about that> Oh wait many of them were exterminated through disease, malnutrition, and beatings. Ask the friendship women from China. Ask the folks who starved to death because all the rations went to their army. The death toll in...

    Does Hawker Siddeley still exist as a potential manufacturer should Germany try to put together a consortium or is Bristol the only one left

    2026 Wildfire Season

    It seems to me that all they are doing is taking out a lease on aircraft that were already available. The only apparent difference between last year and this is the name of the customer on the lease. This part of the announcement appears as nothing but public relations although the provinces...

    Replacing the Subs

    We the exception of being able to utilize existing infrastructure is there an operational value in acquiring a smaller vessel? I would think that having a larger hull would provide greater crew comfort and more room for stores and weapons particularly on an extended mission.

    Uplands had an immediate response alert hangar adjacent to the threshold of 32. They launched quite regularly but their normal customer was British Airways flights that had deviated from their flight-planned route coming over the pole pre GPS and INS days.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Sad to say America makes a habit of underestimating. Think of the way that Japan's capabilities were thought of in 1940 and even our own approach to Germany in WW1. Wasn't the common saying in 1914: "the troops will be home by Christmas"

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    There was a time when the set rate was 70 mph if I recall correctly. It was certainly above 100 kmh. 60 mph was the speed limit on the secondary highways such as 10 and 6

    Apologies. I simply picked the last entry I had received to add my comments and it was intended as being the royal "you" and not on yourself per se. There have been numerous comments regarding the complications in operating two fighter aircraft and I was simply saying that all those comments...

    And you were screaming about 2 types of a/c. wow. 2 training centres, 2 sets of parts, fleet more or less limited to one ocean, and forget about a lot of those fringe benefits including potentially the timing of the deliveries. Is REALLY DUMB a strong enough adjective
