It's definitely a case of NORAD working as designed. Which is good!
The fact that we're borderline amazed that it's working as designed is much less good.
I was mainly responding to the claim that there's no base, but I really don't see the value in stationing a combat squadron there.
In the case of an actual foreign invasion, there would be enough time to redeploy from elsewhere.
As I said downthread, that's a very sensible use of a coastal air force base.
Yeah, the most imminent air threat has historically been over the pole, which is why CFB Cold Lake exists.
The squadrons on Vancouver Island are for surveillance and search-and-rescue, which is entirely sensible for the coast.
CFB Comox is located on Vancouver Island.
Very cool - I honestly had never considered the logistics of these sorts of operations, but seeing the host of these videos work out the fuel stops along the way just to make it out to the ships they're evacuating people from has been incredible.

The big problem with the Undo button is that I keep forgetting it exists, plz fix.
[2025] Thanks for participating!
It seemed like the Federation thing to do.
Next year, we'll probably go smaller.
[2025] Thanks for participating!
Big thanks to everyone involved - I had a blast, and truly appreciated the collaboration in bringing a fairly large starship to life!
Leaving the other ones on top is exactly the plan!
I'd be happy to move the Enterprise to a more clear space - is there an obvious way to do that that I'm missing?
I'm just mad we're exporting the stuff for free.
They seem to be playing things close to the vest for now, but I'm sure that will all come out in time.

What.
Analysis: Ottawa avoided a trade setback. But Trump could come for supply management next
Throughout the spring federal election campaign, Mark Carney as Liberal leader repeatedly vowed to "eliminate" interprovincial trade barriers and create "free trade by Canada Day."
But Canada's internal trade barriers won't all be eliminated by then — not even all the federal ones.
Canada's supply management system for dairy products, which sets provincial production quotas, will remain. Quebec also has language requirements that will stay in place.
It's geographically impossible for Canada to completely eliminate trade with the US.
I absolutely agree that it should be minimized, though.
Agreed. If there's a greater purpose here, keeping it from Canadians is a pretty big blunder.
Even if we reach a deal, it’s not like Trump is stable or trustworthy enough to honour it.
I don't think this is entirely true - Trump is obviously not trustworthy, but the government has been able to leverage CUSMA to lessen the impact of the attempted tariffs. There seems to be some benefit to having a formal deal in place.
But I'm definitely not comfortable with this capitulation at all.
Despite the move, Canada is still in active discussions with G7 allies to introduce an international tax, with Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne leading that work, the PMO said.
If this ends up happening, it's important context to this decision.
If it ends up not happening...pretty weak shit.
