I believe its like being on TD, R&Q are covered. Plus, I already shop at the same grocery stores as the PM and GG's staffs according the access to information results from when the Trudeau was still the PM. For GG it makes some sense. They tend to have had long and distinguished careers, and...

I just got my B in French, and don't yet have my next posting message... Maybe it's me. I was really hoping to get out of Ottawa....

Fair, it seems like a bunch of amateurs made a massive mistake that potentially has massive consequences. I have serious doubts that it was done maliciously, but regardless of intent it has already had negative consequences for some. The people who organized this massive breech of privacy need...

That is unhelpful and inflammatory. I suppose Alberta separatists still have to get to kidnapping, murder, and terrorism to equal their counterparts in Quebec by your logic.

I'm not sure cutting back in Germany is as concequential as you're making it out to be. If they are cutting ground forces and admin staff, but leaving key things like medical and aviation support assets, it could be a welcome compromise for America and Germany. Less Americans around will make...

FTFY. 😉

It's interesting that your base assumption is that conservatives are inherently likely to not counter anti-Canadian messaging, and are hoping that they will overcome their inherent anti-Canadian nature to make arguments for Canada...

It was sarcasm, I assumed listing people who were out of politics before MAGA was a thing woukd be obvious. My bad for not making it clearer.

You buy 12 subs, because those 12 boats provide a lot more utility than the other options. With little ability to surge or send a boat away on an overseas mission in support of our allies/trade partners. That's a plan for a small, unimportant Canada. We are rich enough to not be small or...

Well, when you have known deep MAGA types like Gordon Campbell, and Mike Harris on the list you have to expect to be called Maple MAGA... It's funny how people opposed to PP and his "MAGA" style divisiveness tend to go super divisive in their descriptions of conservatives... Almost as if the...

100% I think part of the problem is that most people don't understand what a warship brings to the table. The Government and RCN are both pretty bad at letting people know what a ship brings to the table. It is more than just a weapons platform, and more than just a space to host cocktail parties.

Each of those things has a different role. It's like saying that it would be more efficient to ship stuff across Canada in Hyundai Accents because per pound shipped you can buy more of them than you can buy semi-trucks. Ignore that loads need to be loaded and unloaded efficiently, and some...

I doubt the "average" would be worth much, as there are too many variables to be useful. To get 180 days at sea, you likely need to be posted to a ship that is doing routine sailing for a couple of years, or get posted to a ship doing an OP Horizon and get it in under a year. When I went to...

I suspect they have, but are keeping things quiet. Israel has been working with/supporting Ukraine for quite a while now.

The CAF has clamped down pretty hard on retaining people with PCats that prevent them from functioning at a base level. The era of automatic retention, and indefinite extensions of retention is over. I'm sure there are still exceptions, but for the most part people are now shown the door if...

Top of the priority pile... Even if not explicitly told to make PRs the top priority, some people seeking to look good to the bosses will take steps to make themselves look good by overzealously pushing the new thing.

True, and these changes are being made to close loopholes people have been using to get away with crimes. At least according to the article that was posted. It seems a bit excessive to me, but I'm guessing there is at least some rational behind the changes, because they are so specific.

I'm guessing so... The lower mainland has some serious organized crime issues.

When you're being threatened by people driving up to you and waving around guns, you don't have time to do an in depth analysis to determine if it's airsoft or a real gun. So, criminals use them to intimidate, and when stopped by police they don't have real guns on them. BC's new laws seem to...

Fair enough, but from an economic perspective and operational, how much do you gain from a having a well paid pilot sit on the ground and have less awareness vs. a well paid pilot in a modified crop duster on scene with more awareness? UAS make a lot of sense in environments where aircraft...
