    If, as noted upstream, we want the A330 Husky MRTT, then runway length is 9000 feet (plus or minus), 50% longer than the current main runway in Kingston The current runway in Kingston can already physically accommodate the A220, E195-E2, Q400, and C-130.

    Kingston airport is a poor example - barring significant filling into Lake Ontario there's probably not the space to lengthen the main runway to 9000 feet.

    A few minutes on Google suggest that Jean Lesage International can be relatively easily lengthen their main runway. For Gagetown, it looks like Saint John airport might be the preferred option (for easier expansion of the main runway). Despite a longer runway, Fredericton seems more...

    Fixed facilities deter competition - you're not going to easily compete with YYC by building your own airport in Airdrie. Privatizing natural monopolies and expecting good behaviour on their part; what could possibly go wrong?

    I agree that we can leverage the private sector to deliver. I agree that we are not doomed to repeat the sins of our fathers. I am not proposing a binary model. Just that national interests have to be captured and documented and enforced. Canadian industry is dominated by oligopolies who...

    National mobility infrastructure is a national defence requirement. Current airports are built on land granted by the federal government, as are most rail lines. Similarly, rights of way for other infrastructure were granted at low or no cost (Bell says "Thank you"); early cell phone bandwidth...

    Houthi Red Sea Blockade

    Or is it a case that F-15s are accumulating more hours than other platforms, and therefore are at a greater risk of being damaged? With F-35 availability under 45%, you're going to be flying other airframes a lot to compensate.

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Strong disagree. The CAF needs adequate training capacity to avoid PAT brigades. For the Res F it also requires occupational design to per.ot skills acquisition and, more critically, maintenance within the time available. If it takes six years to reach OFP, and then those skills can't be...
