So where's John Turner hiding with his opinion on the Meng Wanzhou arrest? I really hope he offers one in public to see if we can score an Emeritus Liberal John Trifecta. "Ambassador McCallum says he ‘misspoke’ when he suggested Huawei CFO had strong case to avoid extradition to U.S. "

John McCallum said that poo poo because of diplomatic gamesmanship and lol that anyone took any of it seriously in Canada. It was quite clearly an olive branch to the chinese, roughly "we'll let your CFO out so they can go back to China and we take the heat from the americans but we need to know what we're getting in returnÈ by my reading.

Defense Watch Watch Tens of millions paid out due to bungled Canadian Forces procurement, but government says details are secret So- Canada needs to buy military trucks and so we put out a tender and had to pick between oshkosh and mack. When we did this procurement we of course had to specify what our selection criteria were. Oshkosh met that criteria the best but we of course went with mack, and Oshkosh was like "um WTF, our trucks met your criteria better, don't make us take you out to the woodshed again* but of course the DND was all "nuh-uh!" And Oshkosh - used international trade laws to get the decision revered. Of course just because you lost in court doesn't mean you have to listen** and the DND went on buying trucks from Mack and appealed the decision. The appeal was given up as dumb and hopeless so Canada hosed up buying military trucks **again** and has to pay extra money to Oshkosh **again** but the details of Canada and its three government departments involved in procurement being pig-fuckingly dumb and petty are of course, SECRET David Pugliese with the strong headline: Payout cost for bungled gov’t truck contact is secret…the reason for that is also secret National Defense HQ has been caught hiding evidence in the Mark Norman case, making sure his name is never mentioned in DND documents so that any FOIA docs Norman's defense attornys file find "nothing." Oh, and this, let me just copy/paste it: quote:Just as disturbing is that fact the judge believed there was a need to protect the witness from reprisals from federal officials and those at National Defence headquarters. To do that, the judge ordered a publication ban so the name of the military witness – for now anyways – would not be revealed publicly. **It of course means exactly that unless you are a smoothbrained senior civil servant *possibly because the DND was butthurt that the last time they tried to buy trucks, they put out a tender and after Oshkosh had met it they got a crayon bid on notepaper that was promising to build the trucks in canada and so we pretended they were the winner without checking if the crayon submission company could actually deliver, and then Oshkosh took the DND out to the woodshed of international trade laws and got the decision reversed, and so we bought Oshkosh trucks and the bureaucrats who were in charge of this were forcibly reminded that these fees were directly a result of their own incompetence and so the "mandarins" (as they still style themselves with literally zero irony) did the only thing they can do aside gently caress up simple pronouncements and be dumb, they held a grudge, and said OSHKOSH WILL PAY, even though it is in fact Canada who payed

The Blog Best Fighter for Canada (admittedly niche but does a really good job covering the topic) releases its estimate for 2019 as to how the contenders are doing. The F-35 is increasingly viable as purchase cost and operational costs continue to decline, [and LockMart has connections thanks to combat ship decision from a few months ago] Eurofighter Typhoon has even stronger pol connections as Airbus now sells Bombarider C300 as the A220, which means lots more will be sold. Saab Gripen remains a viable dark horse.

I was going to post this anyway because lol at -50 windchill, but why not immediately after a climate change post?  Today's high in Vancouver is a balmy 9° C, with the same forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. It hasn't snowed here this winter and probably won't given we're nearly into February, but there were a few mornings with frost between December and January. How you doin', Winnipeg goons in particular?

Had a few mornings that were true -28 when I got to my car. We had a big dump of really hard icy snow this weekend, so the plows are out and doing their thing. It's a far cry from the true -35s of my youth. I remember being a kid and dealing with savagely cold temperatures and blizzards in October.

It's not awfully cold out but the wind really, really sucks. When you get out of the wind, which is hard because everything is god drat flat, it's only in the -20s.

Now I'm a bit worried because it's -25 and supposedly going to be dropping to minus loving 41 and that's not wind chill motherfuckers. And I have a friend who has mental illnesses and a tendency to go do stupid poo poo as if he's indestructable, and he's MIA for about 24h now. Nobody knows where he is. The last contact anyone has was him asking what the temperature was going to be.
