And shut up Jenny Kwan... nails on a chalk board that one

Well, she did survive the local mass cull of 2001.

For me the real story is the collapse of the 3rd parties. BQ, NDP, Green...

To me this shows what a uniting of the left can do.

We don't need the ranks of Hamas anywhere near Carney and his government. The NDP need to sort themselves out to give these extremists a place to play.

Fred Hahn for the next NDP leader?

I feel like the LPC being pulled back to the centre by Carney took a lot of the wind out the CFP sails by providing a non "protest vote" place for Red-Tories to shift to.

I was planning to vote CFP until Carney came on the scene.

But I think the above also served to tighten PP's grip on the CPC as that relief valved killed the desire to fight an uphill battle for either A. the soul of the CPC or B. to establish a legitimate voice for the political ground between the two heavyweights as they sat in Trudeau vs Poilievre time.

PC types don’t think they can influence where to CPC is going and don’t seem to be welcome under that tent anymore.

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

That's pretty standard, and we had the same between CPFs and 280s. Some quals are far more platform specific, so LOE for the delta training will vary.

The RCD requirements will be hugely AEGIS dependent for training, and for the ops room team may include specific collective training requirements to qualify the team members so may be a lot less flexible than what we are used to for jetty hopping.

For the Eng side anyway sounds like there will be very different propulsion platforms, so likely fairly extensive delta training, as well as platform specific quals for things like high power electrical (like on AOPs). The RN design is also coming with some different shoring and some other equipment, so ideally we just adopt it throughout the fleet and not have platform specific emergency equipment for fires and floods that requires retraining.

Fred Hahn for the next NDP leader?

Nah, my money’s on the dockworkers’ union guy from out west. A return to blue collar labour roots. NDP lost a lot of that to CPC last election and should be frightened by that fact.
