Never been more disappointed to be a Canadian, or member of NATO- at least I got to work with leopard 2s

Remember when we owned and operated an aircraft carrier? Scrapped when Trudeau Sr was prime minister, and now the child Trudeau is buying used jets from down under
70
Yeah, after we had plans to but f-35s too but no scratch that.

And aviation enthusiasts globally have never forgiven the Canadian government for shelving the Arrow and putting Canadian aeronautic engineering into a permanent, slow death spiral

Harper got us that. And a bunch of other good shit. But he was "robotic" so he had to be yeeted
But Trudeau, he's 😍😍🥰🥰😚😚🤗🤗🤩🤩🤤🤤 dreamy
Also he gave us weed man

Tbh our tank and mechanized forces are pretty good.

canada: that guy gave me my current air force

And probably some Collins class subs around 2035ish. Bonus points if one catches on fire on the way across the pond.

I mean it'll be a miracle if it even makes it across.

Well tbf Australia has China breathing down its neck with all its allies half a world away, and Canada, for all their political snubbing of the US, is still our little bitchboy in NATO.

Bingo. America would defend Canada even if it hated its gut for national security reasons. Doesn’t really make sense to invest so heavily in defense when you share an isolated continent with the first world power.

Link?

Australia, US and UK announced the submarine deal today.
Canada isn't actually considering he abolition of its Air Force, but they have no idea how they're going to replace their existing F-18 Hornets
Australian and Canadian troops played a large (and much mythologised) role in the Battle of Amiens in World War I.

If canada replaces their CF-18's then the Winnipeg jets hockey team will have to change their logo and we cant have that 😤

I saw one of the F-35 prototypes in a museum. Just speaking aesthetically, from the right angles, it looks really good; however, from most angles I can only describe it as, “something here seems to be, like, 10% to 15% wrong and I can’t put my finger on what it is.”
28
It’s too stubby. Looks like a toy.

Need longer wings like Navy C variant

Yeah that's exactly what I think too. It almost seems like it isn't a proper airplane to me lmao
2
NGAD theory: Winnipeg Jets higher ups are in on the new jet that Canada will immediately buy, so they can have the new logo the day that it is sold to Canada to promote the new fighter jet
10
And remember their current plan is old Australian planes
19
The F/A-18 Super Hornets are doing just fine at their jobs. Why would they replace them?
1
Probably because they aren’t supers, but geriatric legacy hornets

Oh damn, makes sense then

We invented modern mixed unit tactics, cunts, never forget. Monash ftw
21
Tbf Australia has a regional hegemon to deal with while an invasion of canada would only matter because the US is the actual target.
12
To be fair, the most prominent risk to global stability is the Pacific.
5
but eventually it very well could be the arctic

Can they throw in some utes to sweeten the pot?

One country gets blackout drunk on Molson’s and passes out crying to Jagged Little Pill, the other drinks three liters of Bundaberg Rum to pregame for the harbor boat party.
Take your pick.
Why not both? They’re both exciting outcomes
Dave Coulier did nothing wrong.
I have no idea which country is which in this joke and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
do australians get blackout drunk on canadian beer and listen to Alanis Morrisette? Maybe the latter.
In Melbourne? Certainly. Gives them something to do in between being shot or eaten alive.
Who tf drinks bundy?
Violence juice should only be consumed on the Boxing Day Test, or at any NRL game. Vic is just about the only beer a bloke should concern himself with.
Emu Piss is better lol
Violence juice, nice
VB LOOOOOONG NECK
Cascade or Boags m8.
Hey don’t be trashing Alanis. That disk was the soundtrack to my 95. And most of my 96 actually. Unstoppable album.
A blue harvest reference?
As a leaf I've never felt so attacked in my life.
