It'll never happen. Way too much of the US economy relies on easy travel with Canada. It would be political suicide for any president as major major industries and states will lobby the shit outta that one. Canada is the main trading partner for 40% of the US states.

I think they're flagstops for the railway. Once upon a time they probably planned railway towns but nothing came to fruition. The names stayed and they may be used by a trapper or hunter from time to time.

We'll idk if I'd call the atmospheric study and radio station a base but yes haha. I'm talking at least 4 CAF ships or 2 CAF ships and 2 CCG ships. 2-3 AOPS and 1-2 icebreakers plus an airstrip and surge capacity for a company + of army troops as a forward staging area.

Im in full agreement that a road should be built. I also think the rail line should be upgraded. Hell, I think a base should be built in Churchill too. It's our only arctic deepwater port, the closest port to the old world in all of North America and could be a key station in arctic sovereignty...

It's roughly 200km due North to Churchill from Sundance, MB. Sundance is an abandoned hydro town which is the terminus of highway 290 out of Gillam. Interestingly there is actually a line of towns from Sundance to Gimli all tracking due North. Looks neat on Google maps. Extremely hostile terrain...

Could probably 200 Abrams tomorrow for real cheap if we asked. I'm team leopard myself but something something gift horse

Strategic infrastructure costs money 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ive been maintaining Churchill needs a major upgrade and a naval station for years. It is the closest deepwater port to the Old World in the Americas. In my dream world we have a nuclear icebreaker or two operating out of Churchill with AOPS as supporters in order to keep shipping lanes open...

I'm curious to see what their 6x6 and 8x8 will look like. They do seem to be pushing the limits of the civilian conversion APC. Their MRAP looks pretty slick and seems effective. That said, the Canadian MIC has a long history of this with armoured cars which were quite effective going back to...

If only they could be used as such. But nah, they identify as light tanks instead. 😂

Fine, but if the means isn't modern, then noone is turning on channel 6 except the 40+ year olds who grew up with it. Sure, you'll lose conciseness in the messaging, but at least someone will be listening to it. Its not like th CAF does any other effective internal messaging anyways, this is the...

It's a podcast, not an interview. It's meant to make them more relatable to common audiences who listen to these type of long form conversations (well, not too long form). It's a common cre-comm tactic now as people pay more attention to an organic conversation, than they would to a corporate...

And 38 CBG lol

https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/26337100/700-king-edward-st-winnipeg These types of building are infinitely more common and could probably house an entire CBG worth of personnel nevermind the local garrison Included are purpose built loading docks for QMs, offices for ORs and shops and...

I struggle with the premise there is an empty, serviceable school in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, etc. A quick google found me articles about problems with overcrowded schools in Calgary, Edmonton and Halifax, without even scrolling. If they are empty, there is probably a reason...
