The 2nd Canadian Division already has heraldry that should not be tinkered with ... and I don't think keeping the Carcajou symbology (that comes from the recent history when the division was a re-branded SQFT) will be effective at rallying/unifying the CBGs form across Canada.

I think Iran is comfortable in its assessment that the US is not prepared to mount the decisive effort needed to force its will onto Iran, and I don’t think Iran worries how long it will take for the US to become permanent distracted away from this. The US won’t commit forces into a land war...

After years of 3 Div & 5 Div self-branding respectively as "Army of the West" and "Mighty Maroon Machine", I hope to see 2 Div jump on that bandwagon and self-brand as "The Canadian Shield".

Some times "we can do it" does not mean "it" is something we should do. The fetish of needing to keep everything in service forever will not help us. When you do limited annual purchases to continually refresh the fleet, each year sees a few parts substituted newer ones so no two production...

After 10 years, there will be parts and sub-assemblies that are no longer manufactured. We should not be keeping a vehicle older than 10.

When everything is past its expiry date, you need to replace everything right away and then buy 10% every year (accepting that you are just going to retire trucks early until you hit steady state).

Canada likes the glory of filling leadership positions, but a framework nation needs to be more than leadership ... framework includes support. If there are three countries sharing the role of framework nation, those three countries should be furnishing the majority of the division level...

The “ceasefire” is apparently over. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyw8w1g409o

Another round of tit-for-tat strikes on the go.

Not a good look for an ambassador to be hosting someone who has been convicted for a role in an effort that posted an insurrectionist manifesto & who is now a separatist proponent. But I suppose it’s on brand for that administration.

“You do not need to think Trump is the end of American democracy, or that everything he does is evil, to see this for what it is: the biggest grift in American history.” https://www.thefp.com/p/trump-finance-crypto-corruption

The Div TCs all rebranded as regional Army Training Centres and transfer under a caretaker HQ on 1 April. Then, last month, the Army Training Centre (a peer formation to CTC) stood-up as the higher HQ for those regional training centres. So, CADTC has reorganized.

No. It is to be part of the expeditionary force in 1st Cdn Div.

It is hard to create a benefit for something that is not supposed to exist under law.

... so, the politics boards are to blame?

Remedial measures are hidden by privacy, so it should be inherently uncommon to see any that are unrelated to yourself or your subordinates. That’s the reason they don’t work in lieu of a professional disciplinary system. A profession needs its discipline in the light of day … that is part of...

US Geological Survey (USGS) estimates a 44% chance of more than 10,000 fatalities, and a 30% chance of more than 100,000. That’s not good. https://apnews.com/article/venezuela-earthquake-caracas-7179acaee70a9c543f953852f15d4814

I am voting for this one.

It is better connected to most of the country than Kingston.
