    A lot of soldiers went into WWII to get 3 meals a day, a pair of boots and roof to sleep under. Then they realized they are infantry and only mostly sure about the boots.

    TKMS Type 212CD (Victoria class replacement megathread)

    I suspect after a few years of arctic patrols the issue will resurface and solutions will depend on whether the defence budget is healthy or strained.

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    I will argue this is a merely the continuation of the same government, but with a more competent PM. Mind you JT set the "more competence" bar quite low.

    British Columbia NDP Majority Government 2024-(no later than) 2029

    Our One BC Candidate stepped down, so election staff had to tell all incoming voters that he is no longer running. Wife and I voted, as has my eldest, the younger one voted with me yesterday in our civic election, sadly not much change from the incompetent group that we had before. 800 more...

    Canada the Old

    I am actually surprised by the number of young families I see here in North Vancouver. I was able to meet the replacement rate, having 2 kids and importing my wife! We managed to survive on 1 pay cheque and pay off the house while my wife raised the kids, we did it because housing costs were...
