Reference: Contenders for the MLVW replacement (the MSVS [Medium Support Vehicle System])

From now 'til the end of May, the competing vehicles will be tested by 18 selected soldiers at LFCTA TC Meaford. These guys will be shortly signing non-disclosure conditions, and the M106 hangar and surrounding compound will be off limits.

With camera in hand, I shall be lurking about on-base, gleaning what info might be gained.

Rob: was CANSEC at CSDH?

[QUOTE Rob: was CANSEC at CSDH?[/QUOTE]

Jon,

The exposition main site was in the Ottawa Congress Centre with overflow in and around Cartier Square Drill Hall - much to the chagrin to the peaceniks and pinkos who run (down) city hall, which is next door.

Next Spring CANSEC will be held at or near Lansdowne Park - providing more opportunities for driving new mil vehicles.

Let's hope your trials drivers pick better than the gunners who trialed and chose the Giat 105mm POS.

Cheers,

Et tu, Alex?!? Fishers? It's time to quit listening to CBC Radio Canada. I believe the majority of fishermen are MEN. Fishers are furry little hellions that look good skinned and draped off lovely ladies...

Get yer carcass out to the barn for some refresher training.

All have of course noticed that despite the Canadian media's headlong rush to expunge gender specific terms a la Orwell's Newspeak, there is one glaring omission: Gunman. It's easier for the Liberals to foist ever more oppressive gun control legislation, without debate in the House of Commons, of course, if the population has first been indoctrinated in the equation, Guns=Violence=Men.
I took a Vancouver Sun editor to task years ago for their continuing usage of this very gender specific term. His response? He couldn't come up with another term for Gunman! I resisted the urge to challenge his credentials to be the editor of a large city newspaper and came up with several alternatives: criminal, perpetrator, bad actor, for example. Of course, my suggestions were ignored and they continue to use Gunman to this day.
Rant over, Derek.

Rant continues - different vein: It's all liberal generated dross designed to change the face of their Canada. Let's tale "Non-custodial fathers" as an example of this tripe. These are the men who are totally responsible for their children (so said every family court I've been forced to endure), but are not permitted to exercise that responsibility - except thru the wallet.

It is not surprising that most editors in Canada can't generate enough brain power to see through the smokescreen of liberalism - most papers in our nation are controlled by liberal friendly interests....what the hell has this to do with trucks? Nothing, but it felt good to rant...
