Also a great soundbite to distract from Carney refusing to acknowledge his new strategic partner is engaging in forced labour.

We don't, we have a boat load of federal and provincial gas tax though.

There's a huge group of folks opposed to the project. Lots of expropriated land is required. Construction isn't even supposed to start by the end of the decade. How much are tickets going to cost if the rail project needs $90B CAD before the overruns start???

I had to move it here :confused:

The reservist augmentation is valuable but is honestly only required because we have an insufficient regular force size for the tasks we've been given by the government. The 15 to 20% augmentation is mandated, not requested for expeditionary ops and I distinctly remember reservists being...

No one else follows STANAGs, why should we?

Would you rather the PRes exist in a vacuum with no real task? They thumb their nose at being an augmentation force, didn't jump into the niche tasks (HUSAR, etc) and now you're thumbing your nose at Defense of Canada and DOMOPS? If 2 Div is only capable of DOMOPS then the PRes leadership (yes...

Absolutely. There's a giant venn diagram with the center point of "not blown up by FPV today" and that very much includes fieldcraft.

Trap/Skeet shooting come close to those numbers for target speed. We'd be wise to spend some time training folks to do that as a tool in the toolbox. Defeating a air threat needs layers and the shotgun falls under "oh fuck that's close" in the final layer. Immediately dismissing it means you're...

No no, I meant the nursing homes sucked so we cap the fees they can collect.

So your solution is to pay them less money to fix that problem?

Its a combat uniform. Sleeves down. Doing office work? Maybe 3B is the dress you should be in.

The same CNN that claimed the US OK'd the Pars gas field attack? If the F35 "is vulnerable" to a weakened Iranian AD network, an absolutely inferior by every measure of the word Gripen wouldn't have even been able to cross the border without massive losses.

If you're inclined to believe Baghdad Bob's PR firm, sure.

Just moved a bunch of posts into the politics area from posters who should know better. Next step is public shaming before we just straight up move this thread into the politics area and ruin discussion like the Ukraine thread. - Milnet.ca Staff

Have you ever been in rural Canada? Moderate town during a power outage? We're not Europe, we struggle with cellular coverage outside major cities and dropping even 1000 phones onto a tower in an emergency situation where the civilian population is trying to contact family or EMS is a recipe to...

You don't just buy cell phones and call it a comms plan. 25,000 cell phones bought in Canada could be useless in parts of the world.

Thats a MAD scenario though. GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou all run in relatively the same orbital plane as GPS. That gravel would also deny an adversary their own usage permanently. Targeted DEW or anti-satellite missiles would definitely be something used though.

Who's going to be the reason we move this thread to the politics area and lose half the contributors? Maybe we don't need the political cheapshots for such a serious issue. - Milnet.ca Staff
