    Do we need Cadets? Should they be military/uniformed? (split from Trump administration 2024-2028)

    Yes. That one has always been a big headache for reservists. You are serving in the primary reserve, but your full time job is in research for a pharmaceutical company. So long as it's primary reserve service, you are OK because, when not serving on class A, B or C (i.e. when you are NOT doing...

    Actually, I find them closer to these uniforms, of the Galactic Empire: https://www.deviantart.com/grand-lobster-king/art/Star-Wars-Imperial-Officer-Uniforms-840722320 Who knew that two evil empires could have similar uniforms?

    Continental Defence Corvette

    Good thing you put "(/sarcastic)". You are of course referring to the Quebec bridge whose central, and final span, collapsed two times while they were raising it into position. Some of the iron recovered from the wreck still serves today to make the iron rings that the Professional Engineers...

    Well, he can always ask the Treasury to buy massive amounts of Canadian dollars. :ROFLMAO:

    It's OK as long as they don't get any "economic girly girls".

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    I believe he meant the CCA that goes with the Gripens.

    Whale shit provides a whole ecosystem with nutrients. Micro-organisms gorge themselves on it, become food for small plankton, who themselves are fed to small fish, to be eaten by larger predator fish and so on. Thus, Whales provide a nurturing environment. Trump's circus: not!

    TKMS Type 212CD (Victoria class replacement megathread)

    Or reasonably close enough. Pat Bay and Crofton have been mentioned for BC. Dartmouth, Sidney or Shelburne for the East Coast. Personally, on the East coast, I could see Canada acquiring and retrofitting Argentia.

    We need a new book (in the humour section) called Trumponomics. Here's the type of logic: Man descends from the ape. The ape descends from a tree. Therefore, man descends from a tree.

    Norway has to be careful, or else Trump will threaten to annex the Azores.

    Harry and Meghan step down as senior royals

    Imagine the fortitude of the SAR Techs that winch themselves down onto the deck to effect the rescue.

    Do we need Cadets? Should they be military/uniformed? (split from Trump administration 2024-2028)

    You learn something new everyday on this site: I was not aware that the Air cadets learned dog fighting skills when getting their glider pilot wings.

    TKMS Type 212CD (Victoria class replacement megathread)

    Ukraine and Iran are two totally different situations. They are fighting across the sea of Azov or the Chorne sea in one case and the Gulf of Hormuz in the other. It would as if we were fighting someone across Lake Ontario (Oh! Wait! We are). We, on the other hand are protected by two huge...

    You do realize, Kirkhill, that the Sea Giraffe is what the Halifax class sports at the top of their mast since their big upgrade refit.

    If they looked like Arnold Schwartzeneger, I would agree, but I have seen American soldiers and they don't.

    Bariatric emergencies

    Oops!. Sorry, got it now @KevinB and @mariomike . I googled "bariatric chamber" and it answered with what is a hyprebaric chamber. Obviously, AI is no smarter than I am.

    Seems to me that Bessent should be careful about insulting Canada's "couple of submarines". I remember when we had only three "clockwork mouse" submarines and regularly put holes in their aircraft carriers and cruisers in NATO exercices. Wouldn't be surprise to hear that the VIC's have done the...
