Yes - my mistake

The Aussies wanted an SSN. The French were going to convert a diesel-electric sub to a nuclear one. Not an insignificant change and they would be the launch customer - it would be the Cyclone but with a larger chance of kaboom.

The King’s portrait? I like it too.

There’s usually a reason why something doesn’t have a backlog when others do.

The famously coastal city of Edmonton had subs.

I don’t know if a sailor should be pitching stones about “weird shit people do when bored” :sneaky:

In guess I’m missing something but what has changed regarding Indigenous violence between the past few governments? I remember reading stuff like this during the Harper govt and before.

The CP-140M Aurora is still referred to as a “surveillance aircraft”. Sometimes “spy plane” if the article is trying to be spicy 😏

Sure. But again, both groups are (at least mostly) Canadians. Being Canadian doesn’t mean you can’t also be an idiot.

The problem with extremists is that some of them want to do what they say online.

The thing is it’s so “fresh” (yes it was 2 years ago) because people now know how far it fell. It’s like an attack ad wrote itself. Maybe? I’m not suggesting that the LPC/NDP are super smart about it but I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out during the campaign. The 2016 US election...

I do. That doesn’t change my take on it. I was only partially being facetious. They did think (probably still do?) that they are being disadvantaged. But in response to both, the students at U of C, McGill, etc are (at least a portion of them) Canadians too. So?

So about those maternity uniforms…
