In case you missed it, DND is finally back on track with procuring trucks for the military:


So glad I'm not working procurement anymore. :suicide:

I swear to Visnu, at this point I'm having trouble thinking of a worse system for military procurement. I'm fairly certain we would be decades ahead, and tens of billions saved, if the defence minister wore a blindfold and threw a dart at photos of the options every time we needed new stuff.

I'm looking forward to seeing the population/immigration stats for Quebec 5 years from now (assuming the law is still in effect); I'd like to see if there is a decrease in population/immigration as a result.

It's amazing that these people are so freaked out by the Chinamen buying up our oil, but they don't bat an eye when the Americans, Dutch, Norwegians or even the Japanese or Malaysians do.

I'm a little less concerned about the geopolitical ambitions of the Norwegians and Dutch these days. Same for the Malays.

Most people do not need a step by step booklet on Canadian political terminology in a Canadian Politics Megathread, unless they are actually themselves vapid on Canadian politics. I can now assume you and most of the responders are ? that is pretty cool too.

15) This one actually seems pretty important. Are modern breathalyzers that accurate? Some quick googling suggests consensus that random breath tests are effective in Australia, but I haven't seen a comprehensive article about the impacts.


Well now, that's a curious amendment. Just thinking off the top of my noggin I'm not sure what it changes from the current standards. I'll have to give it another ponder.

To answer your other question, as long as they are used properly modern breathalyzers are very accurate and reliable. And they make defence counsel a lot of money.
