Over the last few weeks I have not been able to go to www.casr.ca.  At first my MacBook was telling me that this site has been infected by a virus.  Now, it seems that this url has disappeared completely.  Does anyone have any info on what happened to this site?
 
They're probably using a second-hand, heavily modified Russian URL now....
 
Curious...

Why do so many people hate that site??  Its always seemed to have lots of info on it...am I missing something??
 
I like the site as well but I think a lot of contributors here think they are a little off the mark for many of the proposals they made.  They wanted the Air Force to buy Russian cargo planes for instance.  They did not support the decision to buy C-17's - too expensive.

But I used the site as a great reference for CF equipment.  There was a ton of info on there, in one place, that is not available at any other single site I have seen - and it was all Canadian specific.
 
I am happy at any Canadians taking a keen interest in our military and what it needs to the jobs it is tasked with. I don’t agree with all their ideas but read the site anyways.
Actually some smaller buys of Russian equipment might have a positive effect on the attitude of some defense suppliers and maybe make them see that challenging almost every major procurements in court as counter productive. I could imagine the look on Lockheed faces if the Canadian government “Invited Russian aerospace companies to demonstrate their fighters here in Canada”
 
Just a note to say that the CASR has ceased publication since December 2016. The web pages are available through the Wayback machine.  :salute:
 
That's too bad - I enjoyed their different spin on things.  What happened?  Lack of interest?
 
Any relation to the change in Mark Collins fortunes and his blog?

Has the government maintained funding for defence research?
