Colt Canada is looking abroad for more customers. I for one welcome C25 becomingg the right arm of the free world ;)
As an aside, anyone here get their hands on one yet? Im curious how that LPVO handles...
Bill C-40 tabled.

Been in it since my first election at 18 lol. MMPR is something Ive pretty passionately advocated for in the past. We have the tech and its a moral imperative. I disagree with people that support other political parties from me but I stillthink their vote deserves recoginition.
The biggest lesson I take from this is proportional representation is becoming a national security issue. Say what you will about CAQ, they arent seppies. They received 13% of the vote but kept no seats and thus, the remain parties are not able to form a government despite well over half the...
Huge if true. DIA may become a crown corp to arms-length other departments. With some good governance this could be a big win for us.

I dont disagree but I will temper expectations. As an example, LUV will be shipping without RWS. Thats a couple thousand platforms thatll be pintle mount. Honestly, thats probably fine. The big problem with RWS systems is EO Techs. Theyre expensive, hard to train and relatively rare. We can...
I think MOOG could be cut right out. RS6 is the hardkill core of the MADIS system down south, so obviously the work has been done to enable them to act in an VSHORAD capacity. Further, you can integrate stingers into both RS6 and RS4. Im really hoping the rumours are true that we're ditching...
On the RWS front, RS4 and RS6 are probably sufficient. Benefit of that is standardized training, DCPs and controls across the Div. You can mount an M230LF 30mm cannon on an RS6, perfect gun for LCav. 50s/GPMGs for everyone else.
First step needs to be to doxx these American agents to run them out of town and PNG them. Next step should be doxxing their Canadian quisling friends.
Id rather grow the pie with parliament actually being useful instead of ossifying the class of people who can attain leadership responsibilities in the military. One of our greatest strengths in the Reserves is the deep diversity of experience and perspective.
Id agree. Topping out at the subunit command team level. Major and MWO is definitely doable in the Reserves. If you want to progress higher, transition to the "geo-locked Reg".
Agreed. Theyre already paid a bit less and will receive less MSP. Fair enough. That and less career progression...
Im an SNCO myself. Only reason I have as much time for the reserves as I do is I have a fed job that has to give me time. It all comes back to needing far stronger reservist protection.
Not sure about the Navy but at least in the Army where it seems we're hurting the most the "missing middle" - high-range MCpls to WO. I cant speak for supporter trades but at least in operator trades it seems we have no shortage of officers and an increasing supply of troops but its the NCO...
That regime doesnt really carry forward into the 21st century. That was predicated on a large pool of largely rural youth to fill out the ranks with systems like this to train junior officers. We need all ranks.
