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

    Continued use of prison labour, particularly in Southern states with statistically improbable rates of conviction based on race, is a thing as well.

    Canada to Spend $5.0Bil on AEW Aircraft (Saab Globaleye)

    Less payload. Less range. Increased vulnerability to other variants in the family to make weight. An entirely separate VTOL platform would have been a better choice.

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure - CAMO Discussion

    Does RCAF have plans to grow pilot training capacity? Fleets are growing (in number of fleets and size) but there's been no discussion I'm aware of to grow pilot training capacity (or to streamline and reduce pilot training time by acknowledging that rotary and fixed wing are different).

    Canada to Spend $5.0Bil on AEW Aircraft (Saab Globaleye)

    The F35 is all about compromises, mostly for the USMC. Eliminate the VTOL version and you have a cheaper and more reliable aircraft. The USN needs to rein in their infantry.

    Laugh at him. That's the one thing that he can't tolerate - being the butt of a joke. In the old Soviet Union you'd call someone nekulturny - uncultured - as the ultimate insult. DJT is very Russian in his fragile ego and self aggrandizement. Laughing at him shows that he's not refined, no...

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure - CAMO Discussion

    How out of character for the army! Good to see the staff work being done properly! Can we post someone from the Army HQ to the Navy HQ and get them to make their NCM ranks legal?

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

    India and Pakistan both bought CANDU and used it as a springboard to develop their own nuclear weapons. That was the subtext.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    So... Mitsubishi bought the CRJ type certificates from Bombardier. Does this ban extend to parts for the CRJs, which are the backbone of many US regional fleets? Are we going to see regional air transportation in the USA grounded?

    EV's, Gas/Oil, and The Future- another swerve split from- JT Hints Boosting Canada’s Military Spending

    Interestingly, the last few small devices I got have Chinese certifications. And, unlike the NA and Euro certifications, these point to the specific clauses of the standards that they abide by. I think Chinese producers are nearing the same inflection point that was experienced with Japanese...

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

    Well, we're talking about people not in the Regular Force being told to respond to an emergency - clearly a Reserve Recruiting thread ;) Next up we have to figure out what sort of hats they'd wear.

    It's a pity that the list of amendments to the US constitution somehow goes from 24 directly to 26.

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

    I suspect that the language of the act could be interpreted as only applying to inventions in which the individual holds an ownership stake. Para 13(2) suggests that.

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

    You are incorrect. All reservists, regardless of class of service, are subject to the Act - this is not the NDA, it's the Public Servants Invention Act. https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/p-32/page-1.html
