    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Not sure what you just said, but thanks. :)

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Also, won't major maintenance be done in the US? The aircraft won't ferry themselves. I know nothing of the life of a RCAF fighter pilot but I suspect between deployments, taskings, exercises, operations, etc., being based in a place where the family is happy but you are never there might be...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Perhaps for some professions, but if the potential spousal employment is retail or pretty much anything public facing, more difficult. And as mentioned, if provincially regulated, such as teaching, healthcare, etc., how to pass a French-only qualification process.

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Perhaps better employment opportunities but the spouse would have to be functionally bilingual, particularly if in a trade or profession that is provincially regulated.

    Canadian Foreign Interference (General)

    The 'notwithstanding clause' is an attachment to new legislation. It can't wave away existing law and its related rulings. Unless the government wrote an entire field of new law related to search, seizure, substantive law (offences), procedural law and on and on, the Clause would be of little...

    "Richard Chamberlain, TV actor who starred in 'Dr. Kildare,' dies at 90"

    The missus is sad. She was a big Thornbirds and Shogun fan.

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Just an outsider looking in but I don't see a ton of parallels between remotely maintaining a radar site and keeping a weapons system in a state of operational readiness. The radars are operating except during a fault or down for PM. Contractors maintain the physical plant and either CAF...

    3 OPP Officers Shot-May 11th/ 2023

    They are also gaining traction in other fields. https://globalnews.ca/news/11096704/loblaw-body-cameras-locations/ They are still being rolled out as we speak.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Stick-built, modular, engineered, towed in on wheels, etc. doesn't matter if it isn't a family friendly place to live. The missus and kids won't be thrilled stuck in something resembling a base camp. Did you type that with a straight face? Agreed. In years gone by, spousal employment, where...

    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    Being good is one thing; being a zealot is not, particularly if you want to sway the votes of people who are more moderate. Well, according to the guy who wants to be PM, they are not a MAGA-friendly party, so which is it?

    3 OPP Officers Shot-May 11th/ 2023

    I suspect the camera evidence will be crucial in establishing intent. If it had shown an outburst or confusion or remorse I could see a mitigating defence being successful. It is interesting that two OPP member murder trials are ongoing right now with BWC camera evidence being crucial when...

    You mean this Jennie Byrne? Not concerning at all.

    CAN-USA 2025 Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    U.S. Annexing Canada (split fm Liberal Minority thread)

    It might not, but I think the "as it stands now" bit is key. First Nations/American Indians can cross the border pretty much at will under the Jay Treaty. However, we know what the current Administration thinks of treaties. Currently in Canada, FNs have court and legislated protection when it...

    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    I suspect the reporters chasing the leaders around don't see the distinction. I also suspect the general public doesn't either.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Not long before I retired I did a study of all 'investigation and enforcement' services across all ministries of the Ontario government. The idea was to study the feasibility of the OPP gathering them all under one roof (it went nowhere, for good reason). The first thing I learned was the...

    I'm 73 and have never been to Florida. Of my circle of about 15, two are regular snowbirds. Aren't broad brushes fun?
