    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    I just saw a few memes and a video making Mrs Provost a pop can and a gopher. The stupidity of the internet meme mentality might have just killed any glimmer of hope for this going away. I hope the idiots who made the memes feel good about "pwning L1b74rd5"...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    After a few weeks of bombing, how modern and capable is the IRGC? As pointed out up thread a bit, the Gulf States may not like the war they are in, but I suspect they will like a dominant Iran even less. It is likely that they will support a prolonged war, if they think they can remove the...

    Two pilots flying Air Canada jet killed in crash at LaGuardia Airport - 22 Mar 2026

    The Commons Committee also represents those other Canadians, and I'm guessing they aren't impressed by the timing of this stunt. They may be technically right, but as with my example, technically right doesn't mean the optics are good. The Air Canada CEO should have used French, but calling...

    Two pilots flying Air Canada jet killed in crash at LaGuardia Airport - 22 Mar 2026

    This is about as useful as the RSM initiating a UDI because the guys who responed to a car crash had their shirt unbuttoned. It shows a lack of seriousness, and a vindictivness that is not flattering. This sort of BS is why many of the 75% of Canadians who aren't French have a dim view of...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    I'm not a lawyer, but if it was as simple as you're describing it we wouldn't need lawyers... We'll see how it goes in October.

    Back in '08 we started with very surface level Space Wx training, but there was zero appetite for more depth from the end users at the time, so it never really progressed past that. Belgium and the US both offer more advanced Space Wx courses that we have sent people on over the course of the...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    They won't sell it as every gun owner is dangerous, but "if it saves just one life"... The public didn't care when our stuff was made prohibited back in 2020, they aren't going to care that the government takes away the amnesty after 6 years, and after offering a buy-back programme...

    It was one of the big pushes from D Met Oc before I left a little while back, so hopefully things are progressing well.

    Canada has used various sound models in the past, and is working on selecting/developing a newer version for the future. Back end stuff like this never makes the headlines, even in the CAF publications, but Director Meteorology and Oceanography (D Met Oc) is always working with national and...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    I'm not sure that bothers them at all. The other 38 million Canadian's who don't own firearms and know nothing about the laws will just see a bunch of people who aren't so trustworthy and "law abiding" at all, and maybe shouldn't have other types of firearms. They said they might not pay for...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    She's angry, but I think this whole stunt is just the government getting ahead of a class action for compensation. They have sent multiple emails, and now made a press statement directly appealing to people to pass along the information so people can be compensated. If someone tries in the...

    Loadsa "independents" on the Ballot Discussion (split from PP by-election)

    I think that's an easy opinion to express when the group clearly went all-in against the party you don't support. When they get 90+ people against a LPC or NDP dominant candidate I will concede that they are equal opportunity disruptors. Until then, they are partisan hacks playing the system...

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

    You hit a key point there. The people of the West don't have the same political sensibilities as the East, and see their views and way of life being trampled by the East. That's not a problem of seat distribution, it's a problem of "winner take all" politics. The East gloats over their...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Mass non-compliance might also be used as an excuse to hammer firearms even harder, since so many "lawful" owners refused to follow the law... Might not impact middle aged and older people in rural areas, but it could kill firearms for future generations of the government goes hard on...
