Maybe the museum jumped the shark and knew something we didnt. 🤷‍♂️

This may be a distinction without a difference but are the Big 4 being looked at for full privatization or are we talking PPPs with like <=49.9% stakes.

I can see what youre saying but I think this slides in the context of it being a major Canadian donated piece of kit to support the Ukrainian war effort.

Pretty healthy culture in my neck of the woods but the mess has kept up with us. Lots of events, dinners, parties that people actually want to do. Spending money on cool shit we vote to buy. Also genuine benefits like drill cane and mess kit subsidies, family care plans and using it for...

A good write-up on the Senator from the Canadian War Museum. Its gotta be the top contender at this point for LUV phase 2. https://www.warmuseum.ca/digital-on-demand/roshel-senator-mrap

For the sake of discussion - what would it take to "upgrade" 3 CLIR to 3 CIBG? Are enablers any different from a CMBG beyond weight and scale?

Its a glorious day with thunder crunch burgers.

3 CIB?

Try and stay on topic. This is the Trump thread. Take it to the govt thread. Maybe Ill give you my thoughts there if I feel like it.

Its naive or intentionally obtuse to separate the congress and executive in this day and age. The current congress is an extension of presidential power as its plain to see. The same thing occurred with Democratic control during Biden's administration. The legislative branch has almost...

Statisically Trump has the largest share by a long shot that did get them into this debt quagmire. About 27% of all US debt was accumulated under Trump. His (and Biden's) reckless deficit spending has actively precipitated this crisis. I like Scott Galloway's slogan for the past 10-15 years of...

I really like that its targeted at actual investment, like machinery and production equipment. I think we can all agree that this the kind of stuff we need to spur foreign investment and that good policy should be applauded.

Howre the fires across the rest of the West? Been a quiet summer in MB. Lots of rain lately.

Egypt would probably be Europe's red line. Theyre so dependent on the Suez and chaos in Egypt would make the Syrian migrant crisis look like onesies and twosies. Egypt is far larger (120MM people), far less educated, far more radical and far poorer than Syria was pre-war.

I just dont see it happening. This sort of buildout needs to come from the top and its obvious 2 Div is de-prioritized. I hope Im just being cynical but in the meantime Ill expect to continue to operate in our 120ish year old building.

What is requirement to keep one there as opposed to keeping crypto assets at their local support base? How does a new building for the Royal Newfoundland Regiment change those response times? Local leadership absolutely has a say. In my neck of the woods a room is getting gutted, over a dozen...

I wont pretend to know what is required for a crypto vault but if we can have crypto vaults on what are essentially open bases with cheap curtain wall (non-load bearing wall material, most metal-framed buildings) construction, I think we can manage that in two-three foot thick brick walls that...

Youre overreacting a bit Kevin. What kind of security do you expect a light coy to need that they dont already have? There are lockups, ORs, coy offices, classrooms, gyms, messes, quarters, etc. Depot whatever vehicles they get (LFE, etc) at the closest training base and what else do they need?

Exactly. Sounds like a great job for some bright, young staff officer looking to make a splash in the defence of the homeland.

They dont all need to be relocated. Can an older armoury still be situable for a light infantry coy/bn? Probably with some retrofits. Are they situable for service bns? Probably not, so build a purpose built facility. Im sure that 100 armoury list becomes 25-30 needing outright replacement with...
