When more stupid laws get repealed, watch the investors show up, especially after the Liberals get the heave ho for good.

I watched this video. Gasps, its Northern Perspective. Dallas Brodie (yeah, yeah, I know, some of you don't agree with her) is a lawyer and brings up lots of very concerning points on prosecuting for hate, especially hate against Jewish people in Canada. Maybe our lawyer type and cop types...

When their is REAL political will, shit happens very fast.

Thats part of my point. The reality of modern war is a lot more freaking real. Back when they started on this project (unless I am mistaken), it was basically lets get some transport to boot the troops around in the arctic and wave the flag. Thats about how serious the government took arctic...

Depends. I would hope Canada is at least looking at the new TrackX vehicle and considering it, but apparently not. Our 1980 procurement system doesn't work for modern warfare in my opinion.

No you can't

Lets be honest, it will be 2044 when the government finally announces the replacement for our then 12 remaining CF18s

Woops

The BvS210 is lightly armoured and there are many variants that have been designed, some in use such as mortars, EW, air defence, CP, recovery. My concern is Canada buys into the BvS210 NOW, we get it in 3-8 years and by that point, way behind the curve. We have a defence procurement agency...

It would suck if our military missed out on newer and better tech because we have snails pace selection process. The BvS210 is a great piece of kit but was designed 25 years ago.

Or this. And it "diversifies" our defence portfolio

I am not against setting up a promotion/rank system for highly technical/ experienced pers. I learned on my ILQ for a lot of tech trades, they basically cease being techs at WO level and end up as supervisors. It can hinder some people from wanting to advance because some of the se troops love...

They seriously have a badge for teaching courses? Why?

A good podcast interview with Aaron Pete, worth the watch

Dangerboy was 48th Highlanders

Thats basically don't even bother trying attitude. And if that is approach from some (a very few minority), then we will suffer far worse than the Americans. I hope your not one of those people willing to let our nation suffer just to spite Donald Trump? Thats a self defeating attitude...

On housing market, I think if it can be managed, we hopefully wild swings up and down. If the market doesn't swing wildly up, it won't hurt so much when it crashes down. Trudeau's comments in 2021 "interest rates are at a historic low, Glen..." and then encourage people to get mortgages was not...

I found this video and found it fascinating. Any EW jimmies here that can expand or correct this video? I understand that EW is a BIG part of modern warfare.

We have oil and they buy a lot and to add insult to injury, American tycoons screw us from expanding or finding new customers for O and G We are supposed to finally open the "ring of fire" and have a shit ton of defence critical minerals available. We have a shit ton of uranium, obvious why...

No offence, but that has to be the dumbest strategy ever. We have leverage (even if Trump says we he doesn't need anything), its need to be properly leveraged, at the right time and in a way as to NOT embarrass the Donald. Make it look like a win-win.
