Hockey, Aviation, Racing and a little politics.

Billie Flynn sounding off on the Saab noise.

[Uncle Shickadance ✈️ 613 🇨🇦 @That80sG]

SAAB needed the Global more than we could ever need the Gripen. It's not the right jet for Canada's mission. If they're actually considering it then it's most certainly all about some ficticious jobs numbers or simply a political poker chip during trade tensions. I doubt you'll find anyone who will put hands on the jets that want to see the Gripen up-end what's being done in advance of the F-35

@Unbranded63 I get that this is some kind of attempt to be clever and I'm not really a fan of Pierre's...
but...It's not summer.
How about we wait and see what he does once Parliament goes on summer break.

@dodo99 @ONgov @fordnation These trains should have been automated

@QballANP @TomcatJunkie Was that before it was considered for a stop-gap or when it was competing with everyone else?

[Uncle Shickadance ✈️ 613 🇨🇦 @That80sG]

@TomcatJunkie I can speak for a lot of people who would like this as the 2nd aircraft in a mixed fleet with the F-35.
They already have a fair bit of knowledge with it.
The idea of having 2 single-engined aircraft in a mixed fleet is quite silly.

@CTVNews They were just starting to get into groceries when Target (led by Walmart) took them out. They weren't there long enough to leverage e-comm.

We should want our National brands to succeed without being bought up and destroyed by companies in other countries.

Let's go!

@dimitrilascaris This is a great buy for the Canadian Army

@heatloss1986 The propaganda game is high.

@daniellevine We will live 30% longer

[Uncle Shickadance ✈️ 613 🇨🇦 @That80sG]

@NoahGairn @deverynross @BrandonSun Wonder why they waited until today to announce it

[Uncle Shickadance ✈️ 613 🇨🇦 @That80sG]

We also had a wall mounted suction system for cleaning erasers. You pulled the little lever and it sucked the chalk out of the brushes

WHO RECALLS HAND CRANKED PENCIL SHARPENERS ON THE SCHOOL WALL?

[Uncle Shickadance ✈️ 613 🇨🇦 @That80sG]

@NoahGairn Interesting. Everything I've seen uses an Oshkosh chassis. It would be interesting to see what we do. Maybe mounted on the new LVM chassis?

[Uncle Shickadance ✈️ 613 🇨🇦 @That80sG]

The only thing the RCAF maintainers will like about this airplane is the US made engine that they already know quite well. If it comes to them with a Rolls in it it'll cause problems we can't afford to deal with.
This little jet is not a real solution to a mixed fleet idea. They'd be better off getting block III Super Hornet's so they've got a twin-engined option that's already quite familiar.

@TSNJR taxpayer projects humming right along

[Uncle Shickadance ✈️ 613 🇨🇦 @That80sG]

@SUDZIE_B valid

[Uncle Shickadance ✈️ 613 🇨🇦 @That80sG]

that seems like a ton of money for a guy I'm not even sure played in round 2

[NHL Rumour Report @NHLRumourReport]

Chris Johnston: Re Alex Tuch/Sabres: This is a very unique opportunity for him to get a contract north of 10 million dollars on a long term deal; it doesn't seem as though the Sabres are gonna get there; usually these deadlines, though, do push better offers - That's Hockey (6/1)

@MeidasClips this was not verified in any way lol

[Uncle Shickadance ✈️ 613 🇨🇦 @That80sG]

me trying to avoid World Cup stories on every news network.

@ScoutFella This is absolutely not true lol
