Question is, do those cruise ships get a bye? I mean, every time you see them in harbour, out comes the white paint brigade and they are touching up the hull everywhere along the side - no apparent safety precaution to protect the water (or the painters for that matter).

Don't mention it too loud, Underway, or the Eco-zealots will want us to start monitoring space junk for them - remember SSOSUS and whales?

If that picture is from 1975, then the lighting is really bad. The original woman service dress was not the same dark green of the men's one but rather three shades lighter - almost the colour of the old Sprite bottles - which got it the nickname grasshopper green. P.S., in the Navy (I mean in...

Look, we all know that the most important thing is to make sure the Gatekeeper and the Keymaster never meet .... because Goser!!!

Hard to argue that the race to be the cheapest is run by everyone without cutting some corners.

If the US Navy owns the IP of the ASW suite, and is willing to move away from Boeing (that's the big if), the West can fairly easily move the kit to another platform, be it an A220-300 or an A320neo of Airbus. I'm sure Airbus would jump at the opportunity and make sure its engineering is done...

Fully agree with Navy Pete here. The best demonstration of what a useful, cheap, expandable-if-need-be UUV would look like is a recoverable and rechargeable sonobuoy.

Pretty sure the Global 6000 series is mostly built and all assembled in Ontario, not Quebec. And it's not subsidized - it's a money maker for Bombardier.

Always the cynic realist, Fishbone.

But he could have videos made of houses being built by the Canadian government. He wouldn't have to tell the public where the pictures come from. :)

At the end of the current contract, she will be due (some would say overdue) for a good refit. I don't think Federal Services would want to go another contract term without one, that they would bill the government for in any event.

Anyone on the naval side noticed this one in the "Sustaining naval vessels" section, though: "Including [...] preserving the Royal Canadian Navy’s interim at-sea replenishment capability." I can only read this as meaning we'll be refitting and keeping the Asterix going.

You know, military housing is actually the only housing that falls squarely into the Federal government powers. If JT wants to build houses, he has large tracts of military properties where he can build affordable housing for rental at an affordable price to people that most definitely fall...

Not the army, but the Navy in my case. I just knew I was going to be a sailor from the first time I sailed on my uncle's sailboat when I was four. From that point on, I became enamored with everything "ships" and the sea, and particularly with all the British naval history and related work of...

I believe there was a lot of that in the Torah. If I recall from the Book of Joshua, it also involved oxen, sheep and asses somehow.

No kidding! I had a philosophy teacher once who tried to explain ( I'm summarizing, this being a philo teach, the explanation lasted the whole 3 hours class) that basically, when one's personal world view - the explanation for the world as it exist we build in our own head - becomes one's "Id"...

I don't know the particulars of the survey you are mentioning, ArmyRick. CROP is actually a reputable public opinion research organization in Quebec that rates up there with Leger and IPSOS. They are also usually associated with a lot of research for La Presse newspaper, which is rather center...

I don't think it's Canada's place to berate the Americans on their defense spending, especially not the Liberals. The Ukraine spending may be hung up in congress, but at least the Americans have a system that provides oversight of the government spending, while in Canada, the Liberals, with the...

Benevolent dictatorship is the Canadian system of government. each dictator lasts from 4 to 12 years, usually. ;)
