As with most issues there are two sides to the story. Bell and Rogers have been spending billions of dollars to replace their legacy copper infrastructure with fibre optics. The CRTC then makes them allow their smaller competitors to use that infrastructure to sell internet services directly...

What if Ontario Shipyards builds CDC's, Orca replacements and some USV's all of which will require replacement down the road. Maybe together with maintenance work on the CDC's it would be enough for them to have a continuous build program like the larger yards?

The key for any Bombardier-based platforms is integrating Air-to-Air refueling into their platforms

So, shipping liquid cargo and bulk cargo are a yes for Arctic shipping but not so much for container shipping. Remind me again what types of things we're thinking of shipping from /through the Arctic? Liquid and bulk cargo or containerized goods?

They are offering two sizes....too big and too small.

This is the very dark place where politics has been heading. The whole "stolen election" narrative and the ideas being pushed that the system itself is rigged against one side or the other could lead to a situation where a significant portion of the population doesn't believe their elected...

Well, if the US wants to "review its position on “imperial possessions,” including the U.K.’s possession of the Falklands near Argentina." then maybe they should ensure that Diego Garcia is given back to France as the original settlers of Mauritius and the Chagos Islands

I'm not sure I like the idea of these autonomous ships....I think we all know where it leads Joking aside, if we go with the KS III submarine we could have Hanwha co-locate one of these automated shipyards with our submarine maintenance facilities.

Are you suggesting that the US take unilateral military action against an Iranian ship in Pakistani or Indian territorial waters? The US could ask/pressure Pakistan and India to do it themselves but I'm guessing they may not be that interested in becoming a party to the conflict...

To borrow a term from my kid's Harry Potter books, the Regs don't want their units contaminated with "mudbloods".

Twin Otter for the win!

Not defending Ford and really can't speak to the relative cost effectiveness of a government owned aircraft vs commercial flight but would just like to note that Ontario is larger than France and Spain combined or double the size of Japan. The Premier does also travel outside the country to...

Treaties and alliances work great...until they don't. That's why nations need to look to their own defence first.

Siege warfare is what you get when the opposing sides have similar doctrines, technologies and strength. Neither side has the distinct advantage over the other so it becomes a battle of attrition. Not the optimal mode of warfare that you'd like to get into. The decisive outcomes in warfare...

Ukraine is showing absolutely amazing innovation. I wonder though if some (much?) of that innovation is being "wasted" on getting better at the war that they have and not on getting out of that and into the war they want/need. They are stuck in a war of attrition with a larger enemy that...

Now I could be wrong but my concern is that this seems to be an RCN initiative rather than a joint CAF proposal. What do the CA and RCAF want/need out of this platform and what assets/equipment/planning are they going to dedicate to make it effective? If you don't have buy-in from all the...

Is it possible taking automation too far could have the perverse result of leaving you with too few sailors? If the bulk of your platforms are uncrewed and you use automation to reduce the crew size of the remaining platforms that are crewed then your pool of trained humans becomes smaller...

Well, I guess the name is at least truth in advertising

In Trump's 6th term he raises Maverick and Goose from the dead and they fly a star fighter to destroy the Chinese space laser on the moon.
