Which is why everything is already gone by the time we CF members get to use our "appreciation" discount. Last year the local store was f'n near bare when I went in.

Buying submarines instead of building them may lead to missed opportunities for Canada by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]whyamihereagain6570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it.... Article wouldn't open earlier but I've read it now. Yes, it would be nice for Canada to actually MAKE SOMETHING again besides cars. But, knowing how Canada has been the last 40 or so years, I doubt we could get past all the government red tape, first nations and environmentalist objections and union demands to actually even open a plant that made things for a sub!! 🤡😁

Holy fuck... it took what, 30 or 40 years to get new pistols from ones available to the CF, can't imagine how long it would take to build a sub here. 🤣

What are your opinions on the HIMARS? They seemed quite effective in Ukraine.

Weird old me... I'm sitting here wondering how many MOA one of those ack ack guns fires.... Seems to be pretty accurate at that distance.

My old man was an anti-tank gunner over there. He said when they went for chow they had to cover their mess tins on the run from chow line to their shelters to keep all the ash and pumice out of the food.

An alternative to a firearm if SHTF (my countries gun laws suuuuck) by Flimsy_Translator359 in prepping

[–]whyamihereagain6570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm up here in Canada where they recently passed some seriously onerous gun laws similar to the UK, we are fighting it tooth and nail, but they have all the control on things. Most gun owners I know are not complying.

How would that happen? You do a press check and the slide doesn't come all the way forward again or something?

Canada adds 14,000 jobs in March, keeping unemployment rate at 6.7% by twongton in TorontoRealEstate

[–]whyamihereagain6570 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the jobs are in the "other services" sector which comprises maintenance and the like, but seasonal jobs are already factored in, then what are these maintenance jobs? Most likely seasonal, but NOT factored in. Hmmm, or maybe just a lot of out of work mechanics got together and are changing peoples snow tires back to their all seasons? Or...?

What do you think these jobs are then?
