Bah, nothing taking a knee & a sip of water won't fix

This pisses me off to no end, and it doesn't do the profession any good either. There isn't a single positive thing that results from crap like that, but the consequences for members across the board can be severe and take YEARS to rectify... Best case scenario it creates the image with the...

Holy crap man...no, flares are not an option. The idea isn't just to be able to see so you can fight at night, the idea is that you can see the enemy & they can't see you. (Essentially)

Munchkin of Mayhem 😅 love it I always want to call her Squeaker of the House for some reason, and have to correct myself... I actually hope she jumps ship & replaces Klaus at the WEF as his successor (as the rumour mill goes...) because it will throw off their diabolical plans for YEARS

With the introduction of the carbon tax, the government increased its revenues by several factors. (I am assuming this, but have nowhere near the understanding of how national finances practically work like you & some other folks here have) How has the government racked up so much debt, and...

Ummmm...context? 😅

Agreed. It must be a joke, he jus forgot to include an emoji saying as much... Having Trudeau step down only to be replaced by Freeland wouldn't do them any good, nor would the government start to produce better results. Freeland is a Finance Minister who doesn't understand finance, and...

Remember folks, we're doing better than all of the other G7 countries...

I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about, and I feel like I should so I can do some reading and catch up. In the meantime tho, BOOOOOOOO to Freeland's budget release tomorrow! (Even though I haven't seen it...)

I can never remember the acronym! Yes those things...loved them too

I read the article and finished it thinking "Nope..." To say this government has a 'fiscal responsibility' problem is an understated epic statement. And what I mean by that is most Canadians have a lack of faith in this government when it comes to fiscal responsibility... and most Canadians...

Ugh, people can say what they will but I miss the Harper days...don't forget the constantly upgraded vehicles we had in theatre. (RG-31, those big transformer looking trucks, the trio of EID detecting vehicles, M777, the big Buffalo MRAP's, etc etc) I'd take that level of suck again, too

Hopefully you get in soon & get a trade that you want! If you stick with it, your time in the military will give you as much as you give it - be competent & down to Earth, and you'll find plenty of unique opportunities. In terms of CAF readiness over the next 5 years, I think it will really...

We were in better shape to contribute in a meaningful way a decade ago, frig almost 2 decades ago, than we are now... (holy crap time flies! I've hit that point in my life where I can now tell war stories from decades ago...wtf happened?) Closest we've been to war since the Cold War isn't...

At this rate the government might as well just start writing a new update as soon as they publish one, the geopolitics are changing so quickly...

I like the spirit of this thread - although it's trickier than I expected to share an opinion on the next POTUS's influence on the CAF without also at least partially sharing one's opinion on the POTUS himself! I think it's safe to say that if Trump does become President again, it wouldn't...

"No life like it..." "The adventure starts here..." "A military career builds courage & perseverance in the face of adversity..." Pfffffffttttttt...and people say recruiters lie...

Gonna be haunted as f**k...

Very good point. The opposite can also be true, in that a country that understands the importance of social media can generate vast amounts of support just by shaping their image accordingly - I'm thinking of Ukraine as a great and modern example of this. Ukraine's PR war was vast leaps ahead...

I'm in Edmonton & haven't seen a single one of those flags so far. "FJT" bumper stickers on the other hand...
