34 years today, 2 friends gone.

I heard about the accident but not the who, it was a month later on way back to Halifax from Gulf I heard the who, and I was gutted.

The odds 2 old friends, dive buddies and many adventures together shipmates from Nipigon would be the victims still hurts.

If I opened a fiction book that started with the headlines of today 10 years ago I would have laughed and thought "too over over the top" and not bothered to read it.

That obviously would have been a mistake

Of note, Musk used his Canadian passport to leave South Africa so he could dodge his compulsory service there.

Just saying
Rumors are flying that Musk and his DOGE dickheads have appeared at the Department of Veterans Affairs headquarters in DC. They are about to fuck 16 million veterans.

When next Canada is in last min "negotiations with Trump over tariffs(really about being a 51st state), our PM will be less than a week left in office. The next PM will be viewed as a placeholder until an election.

Anyone that thinks that isn't a disadvantage is foolish

I am gonna be blunt, the gov should if they had a brain announce sub purchase and fund a good %, order the rest of the surface combatants (only 3/15 are), order tanks, order V (self and towed) , massive investment in AA stuff and drones (all types).

Make the defence budget 2% NOW with deposits

With no sarcasm or smart assery at all, domestic operations to support border security "could" IMHO include the single biggest branch of officers in the CAF. Some caution regards having them over Reg force or PRES members because of certain dynamics (sorry, but true), but there are MANY rolls
