    I've said it before, I'm waiting for the Panzer IV and Panzer V's to be rolled out. Then we could have some German tank on German tank action to see.

    If this goes South and its found out that CSIS dropped the ball and false information was given out, it won't be the end of the world. The UK's Mi5/Mi6 survived the entire Philby affair that went on and on for 40yrs. New policies, procedures and checks and balances were put in place and time...

    No. I never voted for Trudeau and I never voted for Trump - I have dual Canadian-US Citizenship and have the ability to vote in US Presidential elections due to my having lived in the US. Trudeau and Trump are both ass-hats of the same coin -

    Minister Anand announces $1.4 billion investment to upgrade Dwyer Hill Training Centre infrastructure

    And that folks will most likely be the only significant, tangible increase to the CAF budget to come out from the 2023-2024 Federal Budget to be announced next week. I hope I'm wrong.

    I wonder what Mr Biden will quietly ask for tell us to do before the end of March Fixed it for you. I'd love to be invisible and at these meetings. 1) Will Freeland be sucking up to any and every Sr. person on Biden's team in trying to sell herself for the NATO role or whatever non-CDN...
