@m_Janelle @DavidGrebstad @DivebumChef How about fixing the friction points? Security clearances/medicals followed by training capacity. Even if outsourced will the establishment adjust? Did the recent outsourcing of clearances help? No.

@m_Janelle @MapleChaos000 @brihard @waynejv1973 @CWDX_Wiz @Dubious_Owl @PhilippeLagasse @pbontoast1 @Bentheblacklab @MidOfficer That is why back in the 90’s, we had three systems alone in Canada before the proliferation of drones! AD requirements multiple systems, sensors, integrated C2, and leaders that understand how to employ it and leverage other battlefield assets to enable it.

@CBCNews Why tell viewers that every issue is weather? Mechanical issue causing backlogs and delays too!

@TonyWakehamNL @TonyWakehamNL Any ferries for small town Newfoundland? Great opportunity for some Buy Canada funding and investment!

[Tim Caines @tim_caines]

@BarryPetten what is the continued costs associated with the emergency helicopter service for Rencontre East? Why is the government not addressing inspection and maintenance issues and blaming weather for delays? @NTVNewsNL @VOCMNEWS

[Tim Caines @tim_caines]

@TonyWakehamNL Any investment for the smaller ferries for places such as Coast of Bays?

@CBCNews update your ticker. Spelling should be Kyiv not Kiev!!!

@brianlilley The reality is that deliveries need to occur and be accepted in the fiscal year. There will always be increased amounts in March as both projects and industry work on fiscal year timelines. The process needs to be improved, no doubt.

@TheSuperAJ One less tenant for OSEG. Loss of revenue for the area and another boondoggle of a project supported by Suburban councillors that put nostalgia over logic.

@AirCanada Please check your DMs. Hoping for a longshot.

@JessieTweeting This is a great thread. Great work and on point!

@NoahGairn Valid points. The entire sustainment support structure is more challenging than the equipment procurement. Takes considerable time knowledge and effort. Each element gets treated like a unique project instead of a program, more friction and churn with each agency involved.

https://t.co/cHLgRoth5y. Range decreased with Ahead ammo, but still valuable for airfield defence….especially with that type of ammo. Reservists were trained on this system too!

@LalimesMartian I will be wearing my Habs jersey! We are not all scumbags! Some of us have season seats with a loyalty to our original team.

@NoahGairn sustainment costs became too high. Missile was a ‘wooden’ round that had challenges with age and any new production line would have been cost prohibitive.

So. Fucking. Good.

[Tim Caines @tim_caines]

@_Wet_Dog_ Does that placard say retired in 2006? If so, that is incorrect!

[Tim Caines @tim_caines]

@SensfleckTy We have season tickets. I am a Habs fan and my spouse is not. I wear my Habs jersey proudly when they visit. The rest of the time, I am with the Sens train! Not everyone is upselling. Still generations of Habs fans in this market.

@Don_inFarrhaven Retaining cap space for trade flexibility?
