    Houthi Red Sea Blockade

    Better to ask what the Iranians want. The Houthis are just another branch of the Iranian Terrorist Hegemony. Plus I suspect a bit of Chinese and a bit of Russian push to distract the world from Ukraine and the waters of China, Viet Nam etc.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    at 2,173 round trip from Toronto I don't see much reduction. The residents were pretty much stranded until they got the tracks repaired. And shipping things in via air is prohibitive and the ship only sails once or twice a year so you better know how to plan your Christmas presents a long time...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    At least in Churchill you can actually get out and do a bit of hunting, fishing or just plain wandering around whilst respecting the Polar Bears consider the workers out on the Hibernia oil platforms. They have a gym, and a library etc. but there is very little spare room to wander yet there...

    Houthi Red Sea Blockade

    There were some photos a while back of a Saudi Armoured Platoon after the Houthis were done with it. Wasn't pretty. They were the Lavs we sold them I think

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    More and more the whole scenario is looking like an extract from Rohmer's Separation and the oil business and pipelines (including the British economy) like Separation Two. Was he prescient?

    Europe

    The lemming at the back of the pack said the same thing. What do we get from trading with China? We ship them very few finished products just the raw materials that we buy back as finished goods. I question the profit in shipping raw lumber, for instance, that offers employment for just a...

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    Hence their continuous hits on radar and targeting systems. I am no defense expert but it seems logical to create a hole in the coverage and then fly through it. Russia is huge and the cost of providing nation-wide coverage would be prohibitive. It seems that Ukraine is getting very adapt at...

    Hybrid Warfare and Sabotage

    and if they are working within the U.S. it is logical to assume that they are going after Canadian targets as well. But we are OK 'cause we have a shared policing agreement.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Britain could and should be self-sufficient if they weren't so bloody stupid re: energy. As for Poland, great news so when is the pipeline going to be announced serving Churchill? Or will the North Atlantic discoveries be able to cover the market?

    Hybrid Warfare and Sabotage

    You are so right. From what I read in CARS I can operate in Canadian airspace IFR with only GPS. Think of the ramifications of that if someone wishes to work havoc on civilian flight? GPS is easily spoofed as Russia does constantly.

    Continental Defence Corvette

    Except with the speed we seem to move at we need to be starting perhaps 3 years ago.

    Do we need Cadets? Should they be military/uniformed? (split from Trump administration 2024-2028)

    thanks and yes I was actually thinking it was named for Rhodes. Never looked at the spelling. Roads makes more sense considering it was the Navy equivalent of Kingston.

    Do we need Cadets? Should they be military/uniformed? (split from Trump administration 2024-2028)

    You would need Rhodes back again and they are giving it to the indigenous folks

    Do we need Cadets? Should they be military/uniformed? (split from Trump administration 2024-2028)

    Would it be too much to ask to include a further detail? Were your officers instrumental in your selecting your current trade, how, and were they fat?

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

    Perhaps we should also be looking at a plan for dealing with J.D. Vance. If the pollsters end up being correct and the Dems take total control of Congress there will be a significant amount of pressure put on Trump to step down. Also he will be labelled a loser and I don't think his ego will...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Seriously? I don't believe the facilities in question are facing the same criminal element as the local mall. Training, weapons qualification, insurance, dealing with drones are just a few areas where someone other than a rent-a-cop style of force would be needed and that suggests a...
