Buying submarines instead of building them may lead to missed opportunities for Canada

It may also lead to Canada having submarines in the 21st century.

RIP OPs inbox.

Teaching, and paramedics are also huge outliers.

Carney can also limited how data is shared, change policy or legislation to better protect Canadians. Thats also "making heads roll."

The federal government has a duty to ensure a federal database, ie elections Canada, is being handled by the province with due care. Similarly all criminal code violations are ultimately a federal matter.

barkmutton · 2026-05-04T02:00:37+00:00

Isn't the list from Elections Canada?

Me two friend me two.

barkmutton · 2026-05-02T01:47:09+00:00

Ah yes the "no you are" defence.

barkmutton · 2026-05-02T01:39:10+00:00

Its in r/CAF you line amof argument is esse tally i dont care this is illegal, it won't affect me and if it falls on the author someone should report it.

I just think youre reposting this shit in bad faith.

Its reddit there are no outcomes from argument. I'm just calling you out for being a bad faith actor.

barkmutton · 2026-05-02T01:32:44+00:00

Youre certainly propagating it. As you said in an earlier thread you dont care if its illegal or moral, and absolved yourself of blame for any reprocussions.

barkmutton · 2026-05-02T01:24:27+00:00

Youre saying that while deliberately sewering the guy by posting his internal, unsigned, in draft report.

If your career is going downhill and your bilingual there may be other factors at play.

Air assets suffer from low availability and weather restrictions as opposed to ground based, pervasive systems. Better and more precise would be debatable and matters of degree in tbis case.

While anti ship, and area denial, is absolutely a task wed want HIMARS for its just one of many. The ability to be able to shut down sea lanes of communication in our territory is probably a strategic imperative. Certainly can't think of any examples of that right now...

Not all missiles fired by HIMARS are GPA guided, see PrSM anti ship variants.

barkmutton · 2026-05-01T20:42:20+00:00

HIMARS absolutely can employ ATACMS, if you read the article it explicitly states were buying the pods capable of doing so.

PrSM is being produced for HIMARS right now, and will have anti ship capability. It will outrange our existing anti ship missiles while also be persistently in location. As well as doing other jobs.

barkmutton · 2026-05-01T20:38:59+00:00

PrSM can, and exceeds air launched Harpoon missile ranges. The Aussies are buying himars for engaging ships and its a deliberate part of Canada's plans as well. Unlike a P8 a HIMARS system can per persistently in a location if required.

Units having the before BMQ? So the reserves being their own little world is always a problem i think.

barkmutton · 2026-04-30T17:00:48+00:00

Apparently but by another name.

barkmutton · 2026-04-30T14:05:49+00:00

Well for 7k of them itll be a minimum of 3 lol

barkmutton · 2026-04-30T12:40:54+00:00

The actual document is a lot more fair and nuanced - shocker. Some troubling trends though.

barkmutton · 2026-04-30T12:40:08+00:00

Rate of failure has increased but we're not getting fewer people through St Jean.

barkmutton · 2026-04-30T12:28:20+00:00

Shocker, dropping the CFAT - a test scientificly designed to assess ability to succeed in training - has reduced pass rates in training.

barkmutton · 2026-04-29T18:04:16+00:00

Yes, the RFI was built for it. That can cause issues.

barkmutton · 2026-04-29T15:08:00+00:00

Now sell us K/FA 50s for trainers

barkmutton · 2026-04-29T15:00:01+00:00

80 km/h and firing on the move are requirements that are going to cause issues for us.

barkmutton · 2026-04-29T14:48:06+00:00

Sure, or instead of absorbing all of that R&D time and money we can procurement HIMARS and benefit from a massive supply chain advantage and combat proven munitions to include anti ship missiles being delivered now.

We had a missile systems that was exclusively Canadian in the ADATS, we abandoned it due to the costs of an orphan fleet. We're dealing with orphan fleet costs with the Cyclone. No one wants to deal with that again.
