For a while ex DHTC folks where in demand due to the passport and clearances. Decades prior serving Mounties also in the employ of the Agency did all sorts of shenanigans

I’m suspect of your Bde’s messaging. I am generally one of the biggest cynics when it comes to CAF spending promises, but it appears this government is serious. Now I think the only reasons for it being serious about the CAF are the fact that there will most likely be a war with Russia in...

May be a PRes Bde issue if it is a local to you issue.

Actually @medicineman and I got taught that one from someone who used to shoot them.

It got a collective yawn from the world. The Carl Vincennes shooting down flight 655 and lack of world outrage was viewed as a key reason that Iran realized that Iraq could continue to gas Iran to the end of the earth and no one cared, leading to the Iranian acceptance of the Iraqi peace...

3 can keep a secret if 2 of them are dead…

Rock, Paper, Scissors continues. Oh wow look FPV SUAS less than 2.5% PK

Sad regardless.

Well we do have a bunch of Aegis ships…

It ain’t got nothing on the St Lawrence…

Damn some of you guys would love to be living in Logan’s Run world.

Clearly for folks who question things like that… I keep waiting for Texas and California to unite. Life reads more like the scott of Civil War each day.

The British manage to do it. While apart from some glaring standouts, they do it well. Not mutually exclusive. That is something I think you need regardless. No, which is part of why the RCMP lost the role as I understand it, and CSIS formed. Can Canada use CANSOF internally for any...

Well okay - nothing Evil Authoritarian Dictator like at all... https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2026/09/20/triumphal-arch-in-washington-to-serve-as-military-complex-trump-says/?utm_campaign=dfn-ebb&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sailthru

That’s a mighty big statement. Post WW2 it’s generally been seen better to interdict opponents in their home, or at least not ours. Canada has a volunteer military. No one is being conscripted. The difference between North America and Europe….

I’m a firm believer that it is better to have the capability, and not need it, than need the capability and not have it. Canada has a long history of developing capabilities during crisis or war - refining them - then tossing them away. Also I made a typo above - which I gather everyone...

The reason I don’t think it’s a CANSOF role is you don’t yet have an off the books method for hiding military. Even Assaulters at the Hill aren’t off the fully books. You can’t send military personnel to do some of the things you may need to get done. Spies are in a different...

I would suggest you also need a way to do more than just HUMINT, including some things Canada doesn’t like to admit occurs in the world. Sabotage and Assassination being things I think need to be available when needed.

I’d argue the Iranians had some of the best Lessons Learned from GW1 and GWOT...
