You're both not wrong. I'm not a Davie supporter, and I think Asterix has issues including the contract. However.... It provided (and still provides) a capability that was sorely needed, a platform to keep our RAS supply skills from atrophying, and time needed to get the JSS in the water...

Everyone is already selected except perhaps some of the more Jr. members. Back in 2020 there already was a CO, XO, and HOD's as well as some senior NCO's selected and working a shore office. The current "will take them to sea" CO has been on the job for over a year and sailed with the German...

Very exciting. Trails will be shortly. And that in itself is long process. Expect 2027 for IOC.

I follow that guy on substack as well. He's blowhard who doesn't see anything past his own narrow experience. Still some good stuff on there every once in a while.

Aiviq is a piece of garbage and was highly criticized in the US, and by icebreaking experts for them making the purchase. It's desperation mode for them in picking it up. Canada is building 2 heavy icebreakers right now, which are much heavier than the MPI's the US is building. Thei US MPI...

She's Sannich Islds IIRC, not Victoria.

Lets not get all raging about solar and wind. They have a place and are extremely important mixes to many energy systems. And yes they CAN have a very low carbon footprint and environmental impact when implemented in comparison to most other energy sources (based on ton carbon to kWh produced)...

We exercise a major emission of nuclear material because its easier to practice big and then scale down. But again, the chances are basically zero of that happening outside of kinetic action against the submarine itself.

They do pose potential health and environmental risks. That's why we exercise a nuclear reactor leak from a visiting submarine response. The potential is vanishing close to zero though.

In this case they will never give out any radar characteristics to the public. AFAIK its a receiving station, so you won't even have any in the first place.

Nah this is just windmill, high voltage power lines pseudoscience all over again. That was going on long before this situation.

I think this is an Army.ca first. Sidetrack into soil types and crops. At least its not PRes Reorg, and is something fresh.

Eyeroll emoji... Corn is not grown on "good" farmland.

Good, they should be where people can see them. They need to know how the sausage is made. Also it makes posting people to the locations to maintain and protect the equipment easier, and shows the Canadian public what the CAF does. Living and working the communities. Enough with the bases in...

Oh, are they there to repossess the 50'000 illegal immigrants shipped there by Texas?

The paradigm has shifted and woe to those who don't recognize it. And I'm referring to you directly, not feeling the difference in the zeitgeist but still relying on old interpretations. Canadians won't be going back to sleep anytime soon, something has changed/broken, been rewritten...

If you looked at my post earlier, they do not. That wage is directly in line with college technical instruction compensation. Especially as colleges are cutting back staff like crazy right now.

Easy there tiger. I can't reference information I don't have, I didn't make assumptions that it was a full time contract nor that it was a salary based on an hourly wage. Assumptions lead to misunderstanding. I'm always trying to be extremely clear here. I'm very careful with my wording on...

They put a CIWS onto a barge with a seacan power system and then shoot missiles towards it. And you can do real world drone shoots as well, ship do them sometimes. I've been on plenty of shoots where we are putting holes into USV's.
