On the fence about joining our Inshore Rescue Boat Student Program for 2026? 🤔 From mastering life-saving skills to experiencing the thrill of real-world rescues on Canada's waters, this program is more than just a summer job—it's an adventure. Apply: emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.ca/srs-sre/page01…
By air, to battle! Hear from LCol Snook about what capability the CH-147 Chinook brings to the battlespace. #DeterAndDefend #WeAreNATO #NATO @TFL_FOL @CJOC_COIC @RCAF_ARC
HMCS Max Bernays, during her sail on Op LATITUDE, is the first Canadian AOPV to operate north of the 81st parallel and showcases the capability of our CAF to operate in the most austere conditions. @RoyalCanNavy
Russia’s incursion into Polish airspace last night was reckless and escalatory. Canada stands with Poland and our NATO Allies. We are closely coordinating with them, and we will remain vigilant against Russia’s attempts to widen and prolong the conflict with Ukraine. Putin is…
When an engineer graduates in Canada, they are presented with an iron ring in a ceremony called The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer. It is a century-old tradition that shares a connection to one of Canada's worst infrastructure disasters. This is the story. 🧵1/8
I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GOVERNOR IN AMERICAN HISTORY), HEREBY DEMAND THAT CANADA GIFT ME “A BIG BEAUTIFUL PLANE” I GET TO KEEP AFTER I LEAVE OFFICE (IF I LEAVE). IF THEIR NEW PRIME MINISTER (VERY NICE GUY, BUT NOT AS HANDSOME AS TRUDEAU) DOES NOT SEND ME A PLANE,…

This description of the Continental Defence Corvette, from Admiral Topshee in the latest Canadian Defence Review, is the clearest articulation of what that program may produce that I've seen in public so far. It's also towards the top end of public speculation of capabilities.
The Usual Suspects is 30 years old today. Benicio Del Toro was responsible for a significant amount of laughter during the line-up by farting repeatedly. Christopher McQuarrie, the director of the last four Mission: Impossible movies, is the voice saying, "In English, please."
Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.
The CAF's new compensation package: everyone needs money, but will this fix the personnel shortage? A quick, late Sunday night breakdown on DND/CAF101 open.substack.com/pub/dndcaf101/…
🧵Australia's General Purpose Frigate (GPF) | With rumours abounding that some form of decision may be due soon on 🇦🇺's GPF it is worth taking a look back at how we got here, & re-emphasising why time is critical. 1/ (Image: HMAS Darwin - not relevant here, but a great frigate)
Anyway, teach your boys about consent — not plausible deniability.
Two and a half weeks in Australia made me reflect a lot about Canadian defence culture and how we tend to shame ourselves into action. My jet lag fueled writing in my latest Stackie: open.substack.com/pub/dndcaf101/…
I can't say enough good things about VAdm Topshee's recent series of interviews - including this one, from @CDAInstitute, which dropped today. He offers clear eyed assessments of threats, where the CAF is today, and where it needs to go in the future. youtu.be/R7hBSx0fw7o?si…
