The Fall 2025 edition of the RCN Maritime Engineering Journal has an excellent article on the new bow sonar array for the four Victoria class submarines. This represents one of the 13 individual projects that comprise the Victoria-class modernization project which will maintain their...

Or, just to step outside the conventional resourcing/tasking box ... how about dual-use lifters - alternating between RCAF in the spring and winter, and a national fire-fighting airtanker fleet in the summer and fall ??

Interesting article in this summer's edition of 'Canadian Army Today' magazine on the centralization of the tank force in Edmonton: Tank Centralization: A bridge to the Army’s future armoured capability | Canadian Army Today The last paragraphs look forward to ongoing and possible future...

Well, it probably helped that 11 worker deaths during construction was considered acceptable and the ongoing Great Depression meant major infastructure initiatives moved quickly across the US
