    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    That's a fairly normal availability rate. Also "fully mission capable" is not the same "mission capable" or even flyable. There's also over 1,200 F-35s in service with over a million flights hours. There is barely a dozen Gripen Es, with none fully operational. Other sources report the USAF...

    Canada's strategic airlift capability megathread (CC177, CC130J, A400M?)

    And we even have one already. Just needs to be repainted grey.

    Continental Defence Corvette

    Since our last corvettes, the Flower and Castle classes, were all over the place with hull numbers, being in the 100, 200, 300 and 400 sequence, maybe we could start at K100. Or maybe continue from a previous class like Halifax, which would be K342, or Kingston, which would be K712.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Would something like the Japanese Chiyoda be suitable? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JS_Chiyoda_(2016)

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    It's not cheaper. This has been proven several times over. Saab lied about the cost, as well as intentionally or unintentionally conflating the numbers for the C/D. Flyaway price is almost the same as the F-35, actual operating costs are unknown because there's less than twenty in service in...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    We weren't looking into FCAS anyway, we signed up as observers for GCAP.

    Future Armour

    I don't think even the TAPV is that bad. It's a questionable design that we haven't found the right use for, but for the most part it actually works and doesn't cause injuries just by being in it.

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

    No, he was actually an advisor to Trudeau starting in 2020, at first for the COVID recovery strategy, then staying on afterwards. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mark-carney-adviser-coronavirus-response-1.5680765 Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

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

    No, he was governor of the Bank of Canada during Harper's tenure. That's not at all the same as being Trudeau's economic advisor. The Bank of Canada deals with monetary policy only, not fiscal policy. The governor of the Bank of Canada is also appointed by the board of directors, not the Prime...
