    Who needs sailors anyway?

    They have 3 Kingston Class tied up out on the WC currently. The EC recently proposed to transfer one hull to the EC as the EC Kingston Class are full out. Too much resistance from the WC and that COA was dead.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Well they can do constabulary work as the CCG can't. They are well set up for staging boarding teams and hosting OGD. Even if the CCG changed themselves to a constabulary force, we would still be using AOPS in the Arctic and elsewhere.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    When Oriole calls into traffic they call in as HMCS Oriole, sometimes traffic responds with Warship Oriole. Its a non combatant for sure and has small arms so yes I would say its a warship as all RCN ships are.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Well Asterix although civilian owned, the new JSS, AOPS, Kingston Class are also Non-Combatants. All of which are built on commercial standards, I'm pretty sure JSS has some commercial standards. All RCN ships to one extent or another are armed either by Small arms, 50 Cals, 25mm, 57mm or...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    Yes we had a 3 hour briefing and question period from a LCdr with the project. Seems to be a totally new way of doing business, even the personnel requirements alone is way different from what anyone is used to.

    Air Force major charged in firearms bust in Kingston, Petawawa

    Sure we know what legally they need to do and what the consequences are in the US. The reality is quite different in some places. I can tell you from experience getting offered AKs and ARs with ammo and no ID check at gunshows and gunshow parking lots in different states. Gunshows with upwards...

    Air Force major charged in firearms bust in Kingston, Petawawa

    Perhaps but if that's the case he was stupid to bring restricted firearms OUTCAN with him, a few hunting rifles possibly not restricted stuff or AR's. I'm not even sure you can actually do that with AR's. More than likely frequented the many gun shows in Colorado and bought stuff. It's a grey...

    Air Force major charged in firearms bust in Kingston, Petawawa

    If the pistol mags were over 10 rounds and the AR mags over 5 then very illegal, even if they weren't they still need to be imported by an approved importer. Even the ammo is an issue. He's probably going away and lifetime ban on firearms.

    Air Force major charged in firearms bust in Kingston, Petawawa

    Sounds like he went to town at some gun shows. Rarely you have to show ID.

    Liberal Minority Government 2021 - ????

    A number of things to consider. You need to have the right capacity heat pump for the climate, you can get heat pumps for -40 so I been told. To get a heat pump installed you may need a panel upgrade if you have an older panel. Many insurance companies require a secondary heat source. Heat pumps...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    Didn't I see someone saying something about the degaussing system on the CSC? Something about being a superconducting one that needs to be supercooled. Any word on who the manufacturer is? Would love to do some research on it.
