A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

Be civil and act in good faith.
No trolling.

Did they announce the submarines already? Which ones did we buy?

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

The German ones, it seems..

Days after Carney said he was considering those 2 kinds, there was a commercial for German subs in the Canadian navy, & Carney had said "no more debate, it's done" or something like that.

I wish we'd got the Korean ones, because then we'd have functional-submarines much quicker, but .. establishment sometimes deems immediate-survival to not be as important as establishment..

Same with the high-cost self-propelled-howitzers: I wish we'd built zillions of shoot-&-scoot better M777's, instead of getting a few howitzers, when Trump's annexing Canada is going to need pervasive firepower..
