Quite the bunch of individuals. https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/16/politics/fbi-arrests-ufc-fight

I think the term you are looking for is "wishful speculation".

If the OPSEC of any such initiative is such that a coup is being announced on Army.ca prior to its own H hour, then it will not get to the line of departure. Perhaps "rumour" is not the word you intended to use ?

There is probably a statistically predictable value corresponding to size of the base and whether or not the PMQs are policed by the municipality or by MPs (which is not standardized across all bases), but I have no idea what that value nor reality might be.

I am sure that is true in Halifax, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Edmonton. Is it true of Oromocto, Pembroke, and Cold Lake?

“We” did not do anything to the M1117. The department published an RFP with requirements for a vehicle, and Textron produced a proposal based on a modification of their vehicle.

MSFV was the M1117 variant that the US had built for the ANA and delivered in quantities to allow a few "mechanized" MSF battalions in each ANA Corps. While MSFV and TAPV have common lineage, the MSFV is not TAPV.

L1s don't allocate money like that. The big projects get approved through a series of joint gateways where every L1 has a seat at the table. CFD runs a table that assesses and approves the requirement. VCDS runs the subsequent higher table that controls the funds. L1s can support each other...

RP Ops did not exist until a double digit number of years after all the major unit buildings were constructed on the runway.

A Canadian combat team is defined by its parts (a combined arms grouping based on one or two different manoeuvre sub-units). It might be subordinate to a BG, or it may report directly to the Bde HQ. But, the US has used the label "combat team" as an adjective for organizations ranging from...

That's not the Canadian way! You have to start with the simplest variant (infantry section carrier) with the intent to figure out everything else once that is into fielding, and then be surprised when it is realized the chosen common platform cannot support the mass of the recovery, fitter, and...

I imagine D-Day would have gone very differently had the FDR boasted to the world about its objectives the day before.

Keep in mind, our modern understanding of a CMBG contains a lot of post Cold War fat that exists to support FGing BGs and our geographical dispersion. 4 CMBG had CFE for support functions that today we would want the Bde Comd to own.

Nobody should have believed that the system that brought Trump 45 to power was somehow immune from doing the same or similar again, but there were plenty ready to declare the era of Trump as in the past. And seemingly this narrative was accepted. The US failed to hold Trump accountable. Global...

Seems so. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gyp9v0e93o

I don’t think the tit for tat exchanges are over.

Answering in another thread, because this isn’t about Iran. Trump 45 happened and then it ended in attempted autogolpe. The world was told that could never happen again. … and the Trump 47 happened, and it has been worse. And American voters didn’t turn sour when he started burning norms &...

In a Canadian context, “Cavalry” is the new label that the RCAC has given for what it does. Trying to reserve that word to mean something different will just result in conversations that go nowhere because people aren’t speaking the same language.
