Someone should point out to Trump that Canada with 1/10 the US population has half the number of medals.

Twin Otter with a cupola. Checkmate.

Because LockMart?

Nobody tell Vance that there's a Status Of Forces Agreement!

We're talking BC, not Argentina.

Can you live in French? Grocery stores? Drug stores? Health care?

Or they're relocating Area 51.

Article suggests that there are about 10,000 passengers daily through the airport (3.5M over the preceding 11 months). Plus cargo. And closed with about 30 minutes notice.

I suspect we mostly agree. I fear that a plan for a deployed brigade will end with equipment for 2/3 of a brigade, and materiel to sustain it a week. Bigger ambition to ensure we have the equipment and materiel for real, and not just for a week...

Earliest birds may stay in Like permanently as part of the flight training team; they'd be more likely to have future upgrade issues.

So Canada should only be able to immediately deploy a single brigade? We need to relearn ambition.

Or it signals unreadiness to receive aircraft because the security issues (physical and digital) were ignored too long, and there's massive catch up rest.

There's never a good time to ship aircraft with cement blocks in place of radar, but this is probably the worst time to do so. https://en.defence-ua.com/news/us_delivers_new_f_35_fighters_without_radars_due_to_upgrade_delays_mounting_issues-17449.html
