I get it. The CAF has manning issues all around but if we use the excuse that our current personnel situation prevents us from planning for our future personnel needs then I guess it's useless to think about modernizing our military at all.

Except we'll be retiring ships as the new ones arrive, so the crews will just transfer over.

Air force techs aren't allowed to hold quals on two different airframes, so we would be splitting up our already limited number of fighter jet techs to work two fleets.

That’s purely a policy that we 100% control. We can have techs maintain 2 types.

I am pretty sure there will be delta training for the Ops, Eng and CSE types when they convert over to RCDs and CDCs.

Are you able to comment on Canada purchasing the Gripen to fly from a non-political, pilot/aircraft capability point of view?

Absolutely.

There is nothing preventing us from allowing multiple aircraft quals for both techs and aircrew.

Whether it is practical (given the available working days in a year) to be safe and proficient on multiple fleets is another matter altogether.

Carney says Canada upholding values but drops talk of ‘feminist foreign policy’​

JOHANNESBURG — Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada no longer has a feminist foreign policy, but still wants to uphold values on the world stage that include LGBTQ+ rights and combatting violence against women.

“Yes we have that aspect to our foreign policy. But I wouldn’t describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy,” Carney said at a Sunday news conference during the G20 summit in Johannesburg.

His comments illustrate a shift in rhetoric from the government of Justin Trudeau, which repeatedly called itself a feminist government. Trudeau had published a feminist foreign-aid policy, and his government declared having a feminist foreign policy, though it never published a document outlining how that operates.

As Canada seeks more trade, including with governments that don’t prioritize gender equality, Carney says it’s part of Canada’s policy to try making progress by discussing strategies and approaches toward equality.

Atta boy! I give credit where credit is due. Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated (read on Globe and Mail) this morning that there will be "No more feminist foreign policy Carney says"

Well said Prime Minister, lets focus on EFFECTIVE foreign policy instead.
