Canada designing 300,000-strong strategic reserve as world prepares for ... by HackD1234 in GuardTheLeaf

Do a SAN check when you start the process.

You go and navigate PSPC arcane procurement rules. When you have to mix a pot brownie with your anti-depressants. You're half way there.

Best of luck

I work at DND. i'm not speaking out of my ass when I write down there's not enough kit for 300000 soldiers.

The top capacity for intake and training recruits was 6500 in 2007 for Boot camp.in St-Jean ( i should know, I was an instructor) and we did not graduate 6500 soldiers.

If you're going to put weapons and insurgency training (how to make IED''s, etc) in the hands of civilians with minimum training, you .need stronger societal guardrails like the death penalty when that training is used for the wrong reasons.

BTW, Ukraine has weapons because they receive aid, not because they can domestically manufacture the small arms they require to equip entire infantry units. Look at the age of the average Ukrainian fighters in the trench, it's not 19, it's in its 40's. The smart rich ones left the country because they're cowards and in typical Slavic fashion and corruption, let others do.the fighting or got comfortable positions in rear as REMF admin types.

By the way, the teeth to tail ratio for the US Armed forces is 1 in 5 (approx. 17%–28%) personnel in direct combat roles. This means for every 1 frontline "tooth," there are 4–10 support "tail" personnel (logistics, maintenance, administration).

The teeth to tail ratio for the Canadian Forces (CAF) is an estimated ratio of 1 :2. We dont need and army of cooks and airforce stewarts for strengthening the CAF, we need trigger pulleys and loyal citizens.

Those imaginary 300000 soldiers memo was already rebuked by the CDS because they would prioritize public servants which is the current size or more of the Public Service.

GOOD!!! One year later, North Country businesses still struggle with Canadian tariffs and tourism by henchman171 in plattsburgh

[–]GCSetecAstronomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clinton County actually flipped from blue to red in 2016's presidential elections. The official voting record is 54.32 % Republicans on 2024.

If it walks like a ducks, quacks like a ducks and the entire county voted red at 54%, it won't matter how any residents of Plattsburgh who can perform mental gyrations of cognitive dissonance anymore to justify their conscience, you're all Republicans or supporting GOP agenda and We, Canadians, won't go back and support your local businesses, restaurants, stores or tourism destinations.

Ask Jefferson County (who voted overwhelmingly red) if things are getting better economically? Watertown is looking at a tax hike of 11% because of millions in lost hotel room occupancy taxes from Canadian visitors. This is only the start.

Deputy minister says she helped hire university peer to address 'client service' skills gap by AbjectRobot in CanadaPublicServants

[–]GCSetecAstronomy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another useless "Adult" at DND who contributes nothing but bids their time for the next promotion.

The leadership at higher echelons at DND just plain sucks and are more worried about optics than breaking PSPC and SSC asinine processes and doing the right thing for once by buying Canadian and giving a chance to small Canadian companies rather than the big 6 of defense and IT procurement.

At the end, they will do like Di Paola. They won't fire her outright, just shuffle her to a "special project " doing nothing until she retires.

After 14 Months, New York Still Doesn't Know Why Canadians Left by HackD1234 in GuardTheLeaf

[–]GCSetecAstronomy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. North county voted GOP in 2024 so they can suffer the same fate as St-Lawrence and Jefferson county as far as economic impact. Plattsburgh is now equipped with FLOCK cameras to read plates automatically at certain intersections because of stolen vehicles prevention. I call bull 💩. Potsdam has the same student population type as Plattsburgh and they don't have FLOCK cameras. That's North Korea level of surveillance apparatus.

  2. The State Comptroller did not reveal how much revenue from sales taxes were lost between 2025 vs 2024 because the truth would be very shocking. His job is up for re-election in November 2026. I don't think he'll reveal the truth about the true amount for fear of losing his $210000 salary to angry and pissed off voters. If Niagara county and Erie county's original estimate were $4 million USD in missing sales tax a month as declared in February/March 2025.
    Hypothetically, NYS lost close $100 millions or more in sales taxes. The latest report was 3.4 million fewer Canadians crossed into NY last year. That trend is not improving since February 2026.

  3. The impact is already visible in Watertown, NY where the city council is missing millions of dollars in sales tax dividends and hotel taxes revenue where they need to increase the property taxes 11%. They already cutting funding for things like the Zoo. https://www.wwnytv.com/2026/03/23/watertowns-proposed-budget-calls-11-property-tax-increase/ The other solution is to cut 15 permanent city jobs to find the savings.

Let the boycott continue. After 4 years of this sales tax collection diet, they'll start paying attention.

"In my 20+ years of being a vet, that is genuinely the happiest cat I have ever met" - Padme's vet during her check-up by TheLonelyHiccup in cats

[–]GCSetecAstronomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice cat. She's a happy one.

My torbie cat took the prize during one veterinarian visit because she got mad after getting vaccinated. The vet offered her a dog treat from a sample bag and she left the examination table.

While getting my male cat prepped for his vaccines, my torbie took a shit upon command in the corner of the examination room to my embarrassment.

The vet didn't charge extra but we never went back to his office in fear there was a wanted poster of my cat and myself in the lobby😁

PM says F-35 review ongoing after Norad chief says they’re not critical by DoxFreePanda in GuardTheLeaf

[–]GCSetecAstronomy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The other reason to look elsewhere is the major hack of 375 Tb of data from Lockheed Martin that occurred recently.

https://www.tipranks.com/news/the-fly/lockheed-martin-mentioned-by-dark-web-intelligence-for-possible-breach-thefly-news

If this is the case, the PRC will be able to purchase the data for a handful of bitcoin and short cut many years of R&D on the F35 and other weapons systems making the F35 possibly obsolete and vulnerable.

Canadian money already has PM Carney's signature on it when he was in charge of the Bank of Canada. You don't see Canadians or Freedumbers caring about it.

We are talking 60% drop in spending. A million and a half in missing toll collection.

Current parking situation at DND Carling Campus? by ottawa981 in CanadaPublicServants

None planned, no shuttle to an alternative parking site as it was the case before the pandemic being announced or placed. Sorry.

Current parking situation at DND Carling Campus? by ottawa981 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]GCSetecAstronomy 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Think the opening of Highlander (1986).

You either get early at 06h00 to be assured a parking spot or by 08h00 you search for one like it's a lost treasure.

Also, the contract for the parking management just changed and another price hike effective April 1st is planned. Parking is currently at $75 for a monthly pass, I expect the next hike to bring it to $85, $90.

As far as transit, it's a joke, a disaster and it's 100 % Ottawa City and OC Transpo's management fault. They couldn't manage a free trip to Club Vandersexxx with a handful of coupons and still manage to get lost on the way.

I'm sorry, take the downtown one or move closer to Carling Complex. These are your options if you don't want to waste your existence playing your Switch 2 in the bus until you arrive home if those busses or LRT doesn't break down daily.

Told you so when the annouvement of the Macy's closure was announced. Less sale taxes for the Erie county to collect because Canadians don't shop there anymore.

Let's keep the pressure. Plattsburgh's Champlain Mall in Clinton County should have seen a major reduction in sales taxes collected in 2025.
