    King Charles III

    One of my favourite YouTubers has a few videos that feature him. Indeed, I suspect it wasn't the general that lead to most of the losses, but he was a gentleman and accepted his share of the blame.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    An observation is the basis for a solution... So what is/are the the solution(s)? Telling someone they're on fire isn't particularly useful, even if it makes the observer feel special to say it.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    My understanding is that 1D replaces 2B when members own that order of dress.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    So, to be clear, you're suggesting we pillage the current system to make a new Troy? Because that's what you're describing... Only you're describing it thousands of years later, with all the messy bits sanitized. David Michell covered this already...

    Soldier Operational Clothing and Equipment Modernization

    The new shirt is two layers, so there is no jacket. The old system of a t-shirt, shirt, and double layer jacket was overkill... We were trying to make our daily uniform bunker gear.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    In the example you provided the mill owners were the baddies. They took advantage of the surplus of available workers to pay less, and treat people poorly... People have managed to live and thrive in cities for millennia, so the answer isn't just patches of land, or sprawling megacities...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    We'll see... I don't share your optimism regarding the naming of ships. Most people have no idea about any of the ceremonies we perform, but when they see HMCS Iroquois, or HMCS Huron on the news they will take note. I'm not opposed to the idea of a new Tribal class, I think it would be...

    GBAD - The return of 'FOBS'

    That makes a lot of sense, a M777 requires a fair sized gun crew to use effectively, and things like HLTA already make it hard enough without stripping out more pers for CUAS, or at least that's how things were the last time I worked on a gun line... I don't think the rounds or gun have gotten...

    I bet clothing stores still has old stock if you ask nicely... I go the old jacket in Esquimalt back in March, before switching to NCEU two days later.

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    I'd expect River class, less of a political hot potato. While reconciliation might be the goal with a Tribal class, it would turn into a gong show when the middle class white "always offended" class catches wind of it.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    No. 1D would definitely work. A key thing to remember is that all of you should be in the same order of dress... It always looks a bit like a clown show when someone shows up in medals to a ribbons event.

    He was part of the Red River Expedition, and apart from the Boer War he had a rather distinguished career.

    I can't think of any other reason you'd be opposed to having a unit or RCAF centennial patch on an RCAF uniform. The patches aren't sponsors, so it's not like NASCAR...

    Cost of housing in Canada

    I'm not talking about me. If your argument for the current market is "find a different place" you will lose. Not today, but give it a few years, when the Gen-Z and younger Millennials locked out of the market start voting in numbers, because they feel left out, things will change in ways you...

    Soldier Operational Clothing and Equipment Modernization

    Interestingly, I had been one of the old farts thinking about holding out on the NCDs... Until I was fitted for the NCEU, and realized how much better it felt to wear a uniform cut to fit a real human. Also, I'm a petty man and I enjoy flaunting my SSI around hard sea trades with less sea time.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    I disagree. So long as people in Toronto control what firearms I can own, I think I should have a say in what homes they can own... Fair is fair after all. Nobody should own a high capacity planet killing home of more than 1500 square feet except the government. On a more serious note, I think...

    2024 Wildfire Season

    My first reaction to this was a very flippant "let them eat pancakes", but upon further reflection I can see how for the average Canadian being told "no, we don't have and can't get that" is a major shock. Hopefully those who have been evacuated can find some comfort while things get sorted.

    King Charles III

    I quite like it, despite being not very "artsy". You can see him and his uniform, but it's not an attempt to recreate a late Victorian "hero" shot. Bonus points if you know who this is, and why I chose him.
