    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Is it great to see that the F-35 has taken up all the oxygen for defence procurement while the RCD and other navy programs continue to stealthy advance without the general public having a clue?

    Navy to potentially create training ships on great lakes

    Ah Op Apollo, I got heat stroke doing a go-fast interception. Wearing gear designed for North Pac/Lant waters in the Gulf of Oman in the middle of the day in August was not good for this pasty-white prairie boy.

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    I overheard the Occupation Advisor Stokers chatting about that very topic. As far as I can tell they will produce and deliver HT training before they stand up the specialization. If that is understandable.

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    There is a ton of abandoned ROW in the west as well. There is no intercity bus service on the prairies. Save for a couple of hap hazard outfits its impossible to get from Winnipeg to Calgary via bus. My dream would be able to get passenger rail up and running again. Yea its a pipe dream.

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    I think the current federal government knows this and wants to invest. I don’t know if the special interest groups are willing to help out.

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    Because I couldn’t make up my mind, I waited until the last week before buying tickets to the Grey cup. By that time, tickets to fly from Ottawa to Winnipeg were crazy expensive and rare. So we decided to train to Toronto and fly from there. The experience was actually pretty good because we...

    New sea service cap for sailors

    When I look at pictures of sailors and officers wearing the old cap I get a chuckle because of how small the old ones were. These ones are significantly more comfortable and better looking.

    Ostrich Cull in BC, 2025

    If TB is discovered on your farm, every animal, dogs and cats included are destroyed. If its a purebred herd, I think you got market prices for your animals.

    A House of Dynamite

    I watched it. A great thriller and it kept you on the edge of your seat. But man there were a bunch of gaping holes big enough for an aircraft carrier to sail through. 1. Nobody? The Japanese, South Koreans, other nations satellite assets, nobody was able to give a better location of the...

    World Series

    I would love to see the same support of our wholly domestic amateur and pro leagues. That we genuflect towards US leagues over and above our own is disappointing to me. And yes, the NHL is a wholly US owned and operated league that barely tolerates having foreign franchises.

    How Toronto of you that you just assume that all of Canada automatically supports a team located in your city.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    Decolonization debates are the purview of the idle riche and tenured professors. Folks who are actually trying to make a living don't give a shyte about these things. Prove me wrong.
