I think it is impossible for the US to displace trade with Canada. Our resources are second to non overall in the world. What we and other nations have noticed is the US has been the middle man for trade and goods for many years. I think the world is getting wise to eliminating the middle...

Everyone else is dealing with China, why not us? As long as you understand the actual risks you can work around them.

I wonder how long a deal with Europe will last if 1 The US steps in and threatens them with more tariffs. 2 Europe goes on their green anti tar sands, logging is bad and mining is bad program again hitting Canada in the pocket book. I think focusing on Asia and having Europe as a secondary is...

Canada already manufactures the components on these and other Turbine series, We have the skill, we have the tech we don't have the need at this time to go it alone. Don't let that fool us to think we can't produce a domestic Gas Turbine.

Ya, they are also one of the most over inflated defense markets in the world. I can sell you a toilet for $300 or I sell you the same toilet for $30,000 plus The US buys the latter If I had a population of 350 million compared to a Country of 40 million or less I would expect the budget to be...

I do find it interesting that we have not actually received any F35s yet. The US had stated a year or two ago that they had built a few in anticipation of sales so could provide immediate delivery if required. We will more then likely buy the 65 or so F35s unless DT makes a Presidential decree...

It does not matter who we buy our kit from, if they have ITAR or other agreements that we can not sell, deploy or use equipment elsewhere/ specific spots in the world then our hands get tied. Look at Ukraine and the allies trying to ship them tanks, ammunition, munitions air defence etc early...

How reliable are the electrical catapult? How reliable are they verses steam ones? What's the average time to repair each system on average when they have a failure? Before installing the "save the plane" electric catapult hopefully they installed in a non operational setting and worked the...

How about not at its promised capability that Canada originally wanted and was sold on. It does not make it a bad platform, but why buy it when it does not do what it promised to do at this time. Even Our Allies who have bought the platform are disappointed it does not have the capability they...

Various other aircraft have also been in the airspace, unconfirmed reports of at least one F35 being damaged by Iranian air defence. 1 F15 and 1 A10 were shot down and confirmed.

AEGIS system works and works well and does what it says it will do. F35 still has lots of growing pains before it might reach full capability, even that is a question that many are asking as they seek the 6 and 7 gen systems.

I doubt they choose the GE without knowing it met the specs. More likely the Airforce wanted the 110% solution that was going to be heavily Canadianized anyways. Why not start with something you can add to and say we actually made a required change to the platform. Adding front and rear radar...

Cadets already get a BMQ lite in their basic training. They learn to march, they learn to take care of uniforms, set up mod tents etc. Then depending on their next steps they do pretty much everything required except the rifle shooting, grenade tossing aspect. They learn discipline, self...

They have set ups for air land and sea transport. Can do so safely. As for replenishment of a sub. I see little difference other then needing to pump nitrogen to cool the replenishment of the nitrogen storage. Again these things are all do able currently in Canada. Just has not been done for a...

Lucky for the military therr are companies who produce, transport, store lox and hydrogen. They can deliver 24hrs a day seven days a week.

Is there documents on the change in requriments. My understading was the valve was spec'd by the ship designer. Was overlooked by the contractor. the experts. Ok, tell me how many many hands are/ were in the pot before the metal was even cut. The R&D alone was a large sum of money for what it...

In all honeslty when I look at what goods I buy from America and its direct influence on my day to day life I think I can live without buying from them. Why ship from China, land in the US, repackage the product and then ship to me. We have a port on the West coast that many of those products...

But Canada has "very" special and different requirments then all of our Allies combined. Remember we are not only building a ship, we are building an industry. dont forget we have to figure out how to work money into the freinds and family pocket without getting to openly caught. Good for...

Why they did not enter should be the question. If the US cuts us out of their various defense and security agreements then mabe it will be time to look elsewhere for all of our equipment.

With a 156hp and 295ftlb torque engine there is not a lot of room for addons with the Gwagon.
