And only 6 vs 12 - Canada - Doing less with less -

Unsure of #1, Agree with #2, Doubt #3

Except for 1 personal weapon in the video that I was able to see, it looks like someone had been through the area previously and had removed all the weapons.

Sounds alot like the Germans on the Ost Front during the fall/winter of 1943 through to the early summer of 1944, just before Operation Bagration started.

We are ONLY a G7 country because the US wants us there to counter the Europeans - we are NOT there because we act like we belong there or deserve to be there.

Only true up until the war becomes a 'life or death' situation - and then all bets are off. History repeats itself and I fully believe what 'we' did to the Axis during the 1940's could easily be done again. The US didn't waterboard any captured Axis troops during WWII, even after Pearl Harbor...

So was WW1 a win for the Allies or not based on your comments?

GW1 - I'd call that a win.

aerial blitzkrieg

Mathias Rust - 'Hold my beer'.....

About 7-10yrs late but hey, I’ll take it.

Well, Whitehorse is about 25+% bigger than Cold Lake.

Small price to pay to defend ones Sovereignty, but that's just my opinion. Maybe we should just sell the North to the US and use the money to plough into our Healthcare System, National Housing Policy, Dental Plan, Livable Wage and no longer have to worry about the 100k people that live in...

Yes and its 30mins longer than the flight time from Cold Lake to Comox.

Yes, I hear you and yes it would be a concern. But how do you propose that our airspace be actually defended? The Americans station thousands and thousands of troops in Alaska, don't they?

Would go a long way in currying favour with the US and adding real assets to the western arctic

Maybe the time has come to turn Whitehorse into a permanent RCAF base..... a squadron of helo's - combined SAR and Transport 1/2 squadron to full squadron of new F35's 3 of the potentially 6 yet to be purchase E-7's. 1 to 2 Polaris or replacements

Which means potentially Comox to help out the Americans over the western artic/Alaska so that they can repurpose similar assets elsewhere.

Thoughts on where these would be stationed? Would they be broken into a East/West coast grouping? East coast - Greenwood and West Coast - Comox?

Because our previous purchase of used F18's went so well.
