Too many combat arms in the Army Reserve. Need a lot more support - truckers and MMTs and cooks.

Every party has their interesting collection of idiots in safe ridings who wield party influence and power.

Edmonton Calgary first provides evidence of a government that cares about things outside the Quebec City / Windsor corridor. Never underestimate the value of political goodwill.

Cheryl Gallant is the MP representing the Petawawa area, and she's, um, unique. For @ueo

The steel and aluminium tariffs are all he has left.

The Reg F Army is not equipped. To say so is inaccurate at least.

The main estimates is the budget.

Oh Ed. I have Ed stories. Even stories about Ed's moustache. Some stories about Ed's moustache when it wasn't even in the room.

Or Krasnov.

I should probably get a copy of Relentless Struggle, if only to see if I was name checked. If they talk about Army Reserve structure and funding in the early 2000s, I should be.

Lots of CAF own goal procurement failures.

How many clerks need to be military? How much of the '2 function needs to be military? For static HQs, how much of the '6 needs to be military? There's always a sweet spot to be found... But the default of all military is not necessarily what's needed.

Personnel requirements for the defence of Canada are not inherently full time military personnel. There can be part time military, there can be public servants, there can be contracted services. The CAF default of a uniform fetish needs to be stopped; there are plenty of CAF HQ functions and...

Bifurcated command structure isolating the Res F from the service is not in th interests of the Res F. Nav Res is now divided between permaShads and class A. The HQ (and not unique to Nav Res) has become a plodding gatekeeper rather than an enabler.

Equipment shortages are not a Reg vs Res issue. I had a Reg F friend who commanded a battery, whose vehicle holdings were one times LSVW. The Res F has an undeserved victim complex. And NAV Res is not a success...

Land Force Reserve Restructure, which did not restructure the land force reserve, left the A Res to its own devices. The CAF needs to define the top level requirements; the Army need to translate those into full and part time capacity, and the structure needs to flow from that. Not from...

I would start Calgary to Edmonton. HSR between those two cities is a no brainer; you should be able to finish work, take a 30 minute ride to Calgary, have dinner, watch the Oilers destroy the Flames, take a 30 minute ride to Edmonton, and go to sleep in your own bed.
