No gift for paywalled story. ☹️

I re-read. You may be right!

I couldn’t agree more! Our 85 F18s and 14 Auroras came into service in the mid-1980s. The 12 Halifax-class frigates entered service in the early 1990s. Whatever works for the Army these days must be at least a decade old. And every one of these systems is starving for people to operate and maintain them.

It is delusional to think our current capabilities are anywhere near adequate to defend our 5000 km land border, much less the increasingly accessible arctic lands and waters. Literally we cannot ramp up in time to meet the need, but we have to try! Better late than never.

No worries!

It will be decades, maybe centuries, before these areas burn again. Still, Canada is very big and mostly trees.

When you imagine the map proportionally squeezed from the sides at the top and squeezed down, the concentration of smoke becomes much worse.

I think it would be very difficult if not impossible to secure our border if the USA decided on military invasion. Nevertheless, appeasement is not the way.

i agree! Canada must learn from the mistakes of others.

What mistakes?

“Seventy-five cents of every dollar of capital spending for defence goes to the United States. That’s not smart,” - Carney Yes! Lets spread it out to those who might be willing and able to defend ournational security so we can continue to support each others’ cultures!

For porn.

“Drones cost a tiny fraction of advanced weapons like fighter jets. “If one gets blown up you can take another one off the shelf and keep sending them against the Russians,” said Stukalov. “That is what the future battlefield is becoming.”

Yet Canada is committed to spending billions on F35s. When one goes down, there isn’t another one. Despite 30+years nurturing Canadian military aircraft, or maybe because of it, I ask: if the future is drones, why spend money on the past? If we spent billions on drones, what could we NOT do?

So they want you have it anyway!

Isn’t it ironic!

One person can have multiple flights per year. Its still a huge number considering the billions in Asia who never fly.

What is with poiice crime shows on every channel, all the time? I mean you lads made Money Python, Red Dwarf, HHGTTG. I know David Attenbourough filled a lot of time with un-depraved scene. Billy Connolly is not available, and Russel Brand is unpalatable, and Ricky Gervais used to be funny in a sad way.

Are Britons so depressed that only the most twisted and obscure motives for grusome crimes can entertain them?
