Some retired Canadian Forces senior officers, such as former chief of the defence staff Gen. Rick Hillier, have voiced support for a Canada that is integrated more closely with the U.S.
Boy am I glad he is retired then.
I hope we tell this delegation that we are thrilled to see them and discuss this with them.
They may also want to put some feelers out towards Australia. The previous conservative government dragged the country into a deal for US submarines that seemed to be more politically motivated than practical, and thatโs looking more in doubt every day.
They screwed over France for that right? Not sure if SK would take the risk with a buyer who thongs, I mean flip flops like that.
Canada can make the same deal with France.
I just hope the manual is in English...
Don't worry, we'll sell the sub to Quรฉbec so they can sell them again to the rest of Canada.
Eh, if there's a usable French manual, we've got plenty of people who can translate it. (Korean not so much, maybe.)
A French speaking person in Canada? Chance in a million surely.
How about them south Korean subs?
It would be best if Canada could just fend for itself. As weโve seen, even relationships that seem rock solid can change very quickly.
Buying from the U.S. would be the worst possible choice.
Thing is, we've got a large amount of very thinly populated Arctic land that we have to defend. Granted, modern equipment allows us to defend more land with less people, but it's expensive even without the requirement that it has to function in extreme cold. Maybe we could make it work, but we'd have to throw a lot of money at it, and the political will hasn't been there up to this point.
Post Media article. Seems to be a rising amount of these here.
It is a topic exclusively reported from the article author and I don't see anything questionable within the contents although I'm not familiar with the topic.
So Hillier is mad, got it.
Yeah, an army general isn't who I would listen to on subs. Especially when Adm. Norman is there.
