Validation is about the suitability of the training and its objectives. Confirmation is something else: In the Canadian Army, validation training confirms that units are properly trained and prepared for operational tasks, ensuring training standards match required competency levels...

If we think we will still have GPS capability in a real conflict we are deluding ourselves. Jamming and spoofing are generally time limited. A dump truck's worth of gravel in the right orbit makes the outage quite a bit more permanent. DDIL is a thing. QPNT is not yet a thing

Warning - complete tangent: Who watches broadcast TV period? My morning website warmup round includes CBC for local and issue specific news, G&M for national / international with a Canadian lens, The Guardian for its analysis, The Washington Post for opinions, and insight into the way things...

I work with startups, as an investor and as an advisor. This is a common problem - the sequencing of developing both sales and production. In other words, having the supply to meet the demand. That means that you need to advance both simultaneously, but not necessarily symmetrically. Finding...

The difference is authenticity. The fact that Carney lived and worked in Japan in his past made his effort to speak Japanese authentic and heartfelt. Cosplay on the other hand... A real study in contrast between the two.

Dude - it is guns...always.

And how would that best serve the nation's interests? What geopolitical objectives would saying no advance? Imagine if Trudeau would have said no fucking way, closing that door, and confining Canada's options in the coming months? Would you have supported that?

That part is indisputable. Phase 5 is hard, and I have the scars to prove it from deployments with the US (one NATO, the others not) in three theatres that struggled with planning and executing the what next part of operations. My time in the Pentagon also allowed me a close up view of the...

Do you have anything positive at all to say about the CAF, or in fact Canada? I suppose that leading the MNB in Latvia is a colossal waste of time / demonstration of Canada's complete uselessness? FOM operations in SE Asia? I can't remember if you are still serving, but if you are, it must...

Not sure what you mean by this? Convened what? With whom? And to what purpose?
