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

    I'm more pro Canadian than anti american. But why is there this feeling out there? To me its this; it's our proximity to the United States that no other nation in the world faces. The 24/7, 365-day tsunami of American culture washing across the border has led many Canadians to discount our own...

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Before Algonquin went to Op Apollo, the engineers went on a hunt for for cable runs that were cut from both ends as gear was installed and removed over time. I think when they were done, the amount of wire on the jetty was weighed in tons not pounds.

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    I was about to say the same thing. I've never had any issues with train service to Toronto or Montreal.

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    Unless you have a corporate jet, flying is the worst fucking thing on earth. I hate it all, the two hours prior to boarding, the security checks, the luggage checks, the embarkation, the cramped seats, the disembarkation, the waiting for luggage and the drive to destination. It all sucks!!!!!

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    ^^ I'm under the impression that the first section to be built will be Montreal to Ottawa, which all in all is likely the easiest route. Use that to test the land acquisition and building concepts for refining when the real difficult sections come into play.

    Superyacht owned by Facebook founder may have ignored a distress call off the coast of Alaska

    I was sailing my boat from Nanaimo to Deep Bay and heard a distress call of a boat on fire. It was 5 miles away and I was limited to 7 knots but I responded anyway. Thankfully an actual fast rescue craft also responded and I was relieved of my responsibility. That's how you do it.

    Old Peacekeeping Warhorses - Are they right?

    As an Officer in the RCN, I've always considered classical Peacekeeping a role for the Army so I've been agnostic to its usefulness to Canada. If I was honest, it was a way for the GoC to cut real defence capabilities and say "Hey! Look at all the good we are doing in the world." Anyway, when...

    AI usage in responses

    I use AI to help clean up my initial drafts. But I do worry that I'm leaning more into the AI and writing Human engineered slop in the first place.:eek:

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    There is a finite number of Command positions and many of us realized at a point in our careers that we weren't going to get there but we could have rewarding careers as a MARS/NWO non the less.

    CAF Security Forces [Split from RCN Anti Drone Weapon]

    Naval Infantry has morphed into the ANCU (but don't call them that, they're officially still NTOG). They are the holders of the key for autonomous and uncrewed systems.
