  1. That culture of "training up" in the Canadian army that empowers the infantryman goes back more than a hundred years. In the preparation for the storming of Vimy Ridge in early 1917, Privates were "trained up" to replace Corporals, Corporals to replace Sargeants, Sargeants to replace Lieutenants as the battle progressed and things rapidly changed. It sounds like an obvious thing to do in the 21st century but back then, it was revolutionary (and widely doubted) within the Imperial British forces .. and apparently it still is in the Soviet remnant army. It's totally Canadian.

  2. Viva Mexico! Muchas gracias, muchachos!

  3.  @dohope4554  Again, back to Vimy. Ordinary Privates were all issued maps to orient themselves (It worked, too) . This was not done! The British Army didn't think that the lower classes could possibly understand or read maps and it wasn't done anywhere else in the Imperial Army. Here we are a century later and Russian soldiers don't know where they are.

  4. Every decade or so, the Grits relearn the old lesson: "Beware of hubris".

  5. Is political correctness the criterion that is used to weed out books?

  6. This is an excellent reason to boycott : 'WEEE PUNISH!!" Our civilization has been here before ... in and around 1933. (Maybe, the Chinese will arrest athletes from the boycotting countries for invented infractions?)

  7. I remember when the Russians rolled into Prague in their tanks back in 1968, they called it "fraternal assistance"
    29
  8. Canada's sovereignty over the Northwest Passage is threatened on all sides. The United States has made it clear that they consider the Canadian Northwest Passage routes to be international waterways that they intend to patrol (They have virtually no capacity to do so, however). The British are following the United States demands (again, all hat, no cattle). The Russians however are perfectly capable of cruising back and forth through the center of Canada right now. The Chinese want a capability to do the same and the American doctrine invites them in and every other interested party.

  11. There aren't "Russian advances" there. They are no longer advancing therefore they are stalled
    22
  12. Take them up to the new Arctic naval base in Nanisivik that was started isn't getting built because ... well ... "There aren't any votes in that!"
    17
  13. Canada need to get our Latvia deployment up to brigade strength ASAP. Start moving those Leopard 2 tanks, etc. today and get real equipment into theatre. It won't be possible to do so if the shooting starts. The next level of this conflict will be "come as you are" not "let's wait and see what happens next and we'll talk about it then".
    16
  14. The troops get them to the tarmac just to have some cement-headed Immigration Bot stop the because their paperwork isn't in order.
    16
  15. Generation after generation, these Russian diplomats remain a parody of themselves. The Soviet Union is long gone but the same old. same old, Pravda player piano plays on. It is tiresome and predictable.
    15
  16. This is a good test of the NATO alliance to see who is "in" and who is essentially "out". Assigning some sort of leadership role to France and Germany in this alliance and any EU army that is planned might now be seen as a strategic mistake. Better to find that out now than when Russia might attack a NATO ally in say, the Baltic countries or Poland.

  17. "After COP26, what should Canada's next steps be?" Prepare for the inundation of climate refugees from drowned coastlines around the World?

  19.  @jptrainor  It sure doesn't look that way, Komrade.
    13
  20. Justin is working INCREDIBLY hard and it's all such a big surprise to him. If this had been any other category of refugee, they would have had them out by the thousands by now but due to Justin's Party's historic antipathy to anything military, it's all such a big face-palm surprise.

  21. So they should. We don't need this festering threat to our democracy attacking us again and again.

  23.  @adenadrianamontreal2633  I'm not sure about that but it is a very smart but chronically unsupported military. Canada has high quality soldiers, sailors, airmen in spite of her political leadership. It's worse now than it has been since the Chretien years.
    12
  24.  @kijijiuser1784  I guess that you're yet another Russian troll. It's not working, anymore. Nobody believes you outside of Russia.

  25. Kenny is politically toast both Provincially and Federally so who gives a shyte what he says.
    11
  26. Canada is still ticking away in peacetime mode with a capable but way too small military. It's 1933 again and the Canadian people will continue to snooze right up until 1939 ... again.

  27. 11 drones ... for the World's second largest country ... they'll disappear into Canadian geography.

  29. This state of affairs will never change. A third of Americans are literally ready to take up arms to protect their constitutional right to bear them. These horrors will remain a permanent feature of the landscape.

  32. Canadians are cheering from coast to coast!
    10
  33. We have little military hardware to spare but what Canada can do and has already done to great effect in this war is train up Ukrainian soldiers to modern NATO standards. Maybe we can only send 4 Leopards at this time but we could be training up Ukrainian soldiers in their operation tomorrow iat CFB Shilo. (The climate conditions there are even the same as in Ukraine!)

  34. @Caleb Newman92 ... not a NATO publicity stunt. There are a million and a half Ukrainians in Canada and it's partly about votes in Canada.

  38.  @dougcoombes8497  A brilliant young science educated officer named Andrew McNaughton pioneered counterbattery work using flash detection and acoustic ranging gathering data over weeks before the battle to locate the German guns opposite them. His counterbatterry artillery took out 85% of the German guns in front of the soldiers at the very moment that the assaults bagan. Science in battle was another Canadian innovation at Vimy. (The battle was won the very day that the Americans finally declared war)

  39. One of the big issues we have is that Canadians can't seem to grasp that we have to defend ourselves.

  40. What do you consider to be real news? Enlighten us, oh wise one.

  41.  @Rungr  Ontario has a Conservative government. This is about restrictions in Ontario, I know, it's sooo confusing!

  42. Do you think that there is ANYONE in Russia that is going to tell you the truth about anything, ever?
    8
  43. I would say that they likely are.

  44. You too, Beijing

  45. The Army has great big trucks in nearby places like Petawawa, Borden, Meaford that can handle LAV 4 s and Leopard II tanks. They'll shift those "big rigs" into the lockups like they're Tonka Toys.

  46. Canada is just completing a class of 6 (very large) Arctic patrol ships for the Navy at the Irving shipyard in Halifax. Two are commissioned, two more are being finished on the water and two more are being completed in the assembly area on land. After two extra ones are completed for the Coast Guard, they will start on the 15 ship Frigate production. The Seaspan shipyard in Vancouver is building two large supply ships for the Navy as well as several Coast Guard ships at the same time. The other Canadian yard with the ability to build warships, Davie in Quebec City was shut out of the bidding for a long time but is able to again. They are re-furbishing and building ships for the Coast Guard They don't have warship orders (yet) They were the yard that converted a container ship to a supply ship although some of the assembly was done in Finland. I'm guessing that they will end up building sub-components for the Frigates before this is all over.

  47. Garneau was a Captain in the Navy (a high rank in the Navy) and an RMC grad. They didn't seem interested in that. Not sunny enough ways, I guess.
    7
  48. So, how to you plan for something that we've never experienced before? They are being really scientific by changing their model as new evidence comes along. Science is a process, not carved in granite so it is in fact very scientific of them.
    7
  49. Oh, great. Bring back Trump so that you can leave NATO and join up with your Russian genius, instead.

  50. That horse left the barn decades ago. We are involved because we are involved. No turning back until everyone is safely out.

  51. You have to wonder if she was fired because of the colour of her skin.
    7
  52.  @matso3856  Canada pioneered all these thing when our bigger neighbour was an unarmed, uncommitted neutral. A lot of that military knowledge flowed in the other direction in the 20th century Canada spent 10-1/3 years of the 20th century at war with Germany and the Americans spent 5-1/2 years at it. Military knowledge and experience often travelled from North to South.

  53.  @jptrainor  I can't easily listen to RTs analysis because they've been driven out of town so I suppose random Russian Internet trolls will have to substitute instead.

  54. This is one of the ways in which the new version of the War Measures Act differs from the old one. Debate is required now but the old law could be enacted by Order in Council, period.

  55. The USA can then join that list of rogue nations. If you can't get along with Canada, you can't get along with anybody.

  56. What 8 year UA war are you referring to? Is that the one where the Ukraine fought to contain a foreign invasion in Donetsk, Ivan? You mean the one during which the Canadian Army trained up 33,000 Ukrainian troops to modern Western tactics and weaponry?
    6
  57.  @mdf3006  I was in the Navy and the Canadian Navy came up with some inventions that have changed Naval warfare. A major one is that we essentially invented flying large, powerful helicopters off of small ships. The aft parts of just about every ship larger than a patrol boat in the World now has a flight deck and hanger. The RCN invented that whole thing back in the 1950s and it is everywhere, today. How about the "Trackball"? The RCN held the original patent for it and decades later it morphed into the ball computer mouse.

  58. I wonder if they got mixed up with the "Crypto" nonsense?

  63. Four of the 5 Eyes countries are removing their diplomatic staff ... UK, US, Canada and Australia. I wonder what else they know?
    6
  64. We should have biought their Gripen and not the expensive so-so aircraft that is designed for "shock and awe" attacks but not for defending Canadian air space.
    6
  65. The extreme right keeps the Conservatives out of power. The Canadian people are in the middle and if you can't move to where the people are, you can't represent the country and have no business forming a government. The Conservatives are doomed to being a regional rump like the Bloc. (p.s. I'm not a Liberal, just frustrated at how Reform hijacked and poisoned the P. Conservative Party.)
    5
  66. The Liberals hate their own military and they probably hoped that all this would go away a few weeks ago leaving "sunny ways" as far as the eye can see. Why listen to Veterans? Cher Papa was not one of those.
    5
  67. Canada was armed defensive with nuclear weapons for three decades. We're one of the very few countries on Earth to get rid of them (Ukraine being another) .
    5
  68. The NATO countries are kind of strapped when it comes to defending the airspace over Kviv. Who else is in the region that are not in NATO? Sweden? Finland? That would be a giant step for them.
    5
  69. The Russian aggressors are not learning from their own history.

  70. Uh oh! "Partial Mobilization" coming? I'm a 66 year old veteran. Should I be worried that they're going to give me a rusty chain saw, no food and send me somewhere after a day's training? Maybe, I'd better board the next plane for Moscow (.. easy to get tickets! hard to get landing permission!)

  71.  @cudlefish9990  We are. There is a new class of naval vessels for the Northwest Passage being built in Halifax right now. Three are in the water, five more to come.Anyway, when Trump gets back in NORAD is gone. Then you'll only have to worry about American airspace and you can be biglier than ever.

  72.  dr.fillgut7373  They tried to capture Odessa at the beginning and failed. Russia's capacity to do things like that has come and gone.

  73. Hey, Alberta. There are fewer entities in Canada more starved of resources than the Canadian Navy. They can hardly put anything to sea at all and that has been the situation for decades/generations. If there is a military emergency (like we've had in the past), the tight sphinctered Canadian taxpayers that have let them down so will be whining that we don't have enough Navy (like you have in the past).
    5
  74.  @Nubbe999  The answer is that we fulfilled a NATO treaty obligation as did other member nations. This stuff appears to be over your heads. You must be young.

  75.  @mdf3006  We've spend that last six decades making bricks without straw. Canadian service personnel are exceptionally resourceful.
    5
  76.  @juliohernandez612  It's gone beyond "protest" and your right to protest in Canada is limited as is your right to free speech. Blocking critical infrastructure is not a right. They could have been arrested on day two but Canada is just about the most peaceful, tolerant place on Earth and you were all given lots of extra scope to have your say. Time for you to be arrested and for the Army to pick up your trucks and put them in a secure field, somewhere . (How about CFB Suffield?)

  97.  @canadiansociologist5929  If/when we abolish the monarchy, we will end up supporting and protecting a Head of State anyway. Look at the Republic to the south of us. They have a head of state that has the power of an 18th century European monarch and it costs them vast amounts of money. We're getting a bargain, right now ... all the pomp, etc. for relatively little outlay. p.s. If Canada wants to abolish the Monarchy, constitutionally it will take the approval of all ten Provinces and that pig will never fly.

Your General Staff was afraid of the Canadian Corps. They never lost a battle that was commanded by Canadians and the "Hundred Days" that pushed the German Army back to the German border in 1918 was led by Canadians and Australian divisions. If it was a "great German invention" they were half-assed and ineffective at it."Uber Alles" but totally defeated in battle.

  132. Well, if the Russians didn't do it, who else? Ukraine? If Ukraine did it their reach has now become so impressive that they must be winning, if they can take out Russia's military leadership in Russia itself. Man, they've become good! ... or it could be a cigarette.

  133. There is a huge mis-match between the very right wing that the Party faithful cling to and what the Canadian people will buy. O'Toole is trying to form a government and the Majority of Canadians aren't where that core Reform Party base resides. Unless he can keep a lid on the yahoos and move the Conservatives at least toward the political consensus center of Canada, they are doomed to become a regional rumop like the Bloc Quebecois... BARK, BARK, BARK but no teeth. There used to be a broader range of what made up Conservatism but Reform and Trumpism has driven that away.
    2
  134. The real failure is that the Canadian people don't give a shyte about their Armed Forces, won't cough up the taxes to fund them and have no interest in making defence matters an election issue. The Canadian people don't care and are unwilling to pay for their own defenses. Sure, the Americans do it for us when it is in their own interests, not in ours. Grown up countries defend themselves. Colonial children are defended by Dad.

  136.  @0x007A  How would that initiate WWIII? The only way that might happen if Russia invades a NATO country around it. The thing is, Putin is crazy enough to do that. It's almost as if he's intentionally goading the West into taking more action in Ukraine so that he can unleash his "big plan" whatever the heck that is. We have responsibility to our allies to be ready of he decides to roll into Latvia. We aren't now.

  137. That was already tried. We were to have up to twelve Trafalgar Class nuclear submarines for the Canadian Navy and the order was cancelled. It wasn't cut because of money. It was cut because the Americans would NOT allow the technology transfer to be made and they made it very clear that they consider the high Arctic waters to be an essential theatre for their operations and Canadian surveillance of our own waters was NOT welcome. If you want Canadian subs up there, you'll have to use a different technology. We were not allowed to have nukes.
    2
  138.  @twocansams6335  The Trafalgar class that we were supposed to get would have been bought from the UK. There is American technology in those subs and it was blocked by the US. Sorry. The Royal Canadian Navy is forbidden to buy nuclear submarines from an ally. Maybe, the Chinese or Indians will sell us some.

  139. What money to support Mother Britain? We don't pay them anything. We pay for the Queen's Representative the Governor General but if the Queen weren't there, we'd still be covering the cost of a Head of State.

It takes years to build a proper warship anywhere and the Chinese are not taking the time.

Anyway, the ultimate resource war is looming on the horizon and it isn't about oil or lithium or rare earth, it's about fresh water. We are charging head-on into a world with 20 billion plus inhabitants and Canada is THE fresh water superpower.

  307.  @NixonThr336ix  The Canadian Army trains the Peshmerga in Northern Iraq the a=same way we do in Ukraine. If you're a serious ideologue or a foreign troll,(or on powerful drugs) our 200 Special Forces people there training the Kurds to survive the enemies that surround them on four sides add up to an "occupation" . "War crimes", eh? Which one are you? PLA? FSB? Iranian?

  312. The Liberals don't (never did) spend money on Defence because they don't see votes in it so Canada gets less and less prepared to face a conflict as the years go by. The government has a responsibility to our safety from over-the-time-horizon threats. Governance isn't just about simple transactions - "You vote for me, I'll support your shipyard with a bit of military spending". (Note how Anand is trying to take credit for the Arctic Patrol ships.)

  313. Here's another clue: about 1/3rd of the adult Russian population suffers from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Alcohol abuse is so widespread throughout the population that an average Russian male lives 67.62 years which is 13.53 years LESS than the average Canadian male who makes it to 81.15 years. Chess doesn't help you much if so much of your country is sickly and damaged.

  329.  @bobwoods1302  Not much chance of them building trade relationships, then. Piss-poor Russia is about to get a lot poorer. Russia's economy at #11 is going to be down around #20 when their "force" forces all of their customers to buy elsewhere to avoid the blackmail.

  331.  @randalsaul6612  Russia has a monopoly on none of them and because they are genocidal monsters, it is a good idea to not form relationships with them. Trade with someone else who has the same resources to sell ... like Canada for example. Canada has a bigger economy than Russia's with 1/4 of the population (which means that they are more competent traders with 4 times the productivity per citizen) . They don't hold anyone hostage, threaten anyone and they believe in free bilateral trade. At the height of the Cold War, Canada shipped huge amounts of grain to the Soviet Union every year to make up the shortfall of Russia's Incompetent agricultural sector. There was no blackmail ever but you can be sure that there would have been a lot of it if the situation were reversed. Russia is extremely poorly placed because you have to literally make a pact with the devil to trade with her and no one is going to go near Russia for a generation at least. "the west that is broke and bankrupt" You're drinking waaay too much vodka and listening to your "alternate reality media" too much Ivan. Truth is, Russia is a fourth class loser and has been for most of the last century. You're just not allowed to know that by your controllers.

  338.  @rmf9567  The only reason that Canada has a weak military is YOU the Canadian taxpayer. You have failed to support your Forces for generations. The last Federal government that took Defence seriously was Louis St. Laurent's. If you care, make it an election issue. No party cares because there are no votes for Defence in Canada.

  339.  @jptrainor  Yeah a "referendum" where they went door-to-door with armed soldiers looking you in the face as you voted. Did any Ukrainian speakers get to vote? Not bloody likely. Did any outside observes verify the legitimacy of the "vote"? Of course not. These are Russians, we're talking about. They have zero/zip/nada idea of how democracy works. Their "referendum" was a sham . They had a "result before they started. Don't make us laugh, Ivan.

  347. Canada doesn't spend nearly 2% GDP on defence and is not likely to unless we are embroiled in another world war (a distinct possibility). Does that mean he'll encourage the Russians to attack Canada? How about attacking one of those oil export pipelines to the US?

  348.  @corycg9624  You need to listen to what he said. He will encourage Russia to attack anyone that he doesn't pay enough of their budgets to their militaries. The US has no "billing process" for NATO and it never has. Your ideas come directly from Vladimir Putin via his friend Trump.

You know, all that has to happen with peace to break out is for the Russians to get back in their vehicles and drive back into Russia. That's it! Instant peace!

  368. The Germans are for sanctions right up until they threaten their Nibelung hoard, then it will be "hands off our gold". That leaves them extremely vulnerable to Gazprom blackmail and perhaps will lead them to undermine the Western coalition.
