Major Canadian military contracts this year include a new combat management system for the German navy, the second phase of the Counter Uncrewed Aircraft System (CUAS) project, and a trilateral icebreaker collaboration with the US and Finland. Additionally, the government launched the Defence Investment Agency to manage procurement, and a $100 million night-vision contract for the Canadian Forces is being restarted due to an alleged bias against U.S. firms. Recent and ongoing major contracts Counter Uncrewed Aircraft System (CUAS) Project: A contract worth over $169 million was awarded to CACI, Inc. – FEDERAL for the second phase of this project. It will equip Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members on Operation REASSURANCE with technology to counter drones, integrated onto new light armoured tactical vehicles. Combat Management System (CMS 330): Canada is a party to a deal with Germany for the sale of its CMS 330 combat management system, which is projected to exceed $1 billion. The agreement will strengthen military cooperation and allow both navies to share technology and data. Icebreaker Collaboration Effort (ICE Pact): Canada signed a statement of intent with the United States and Finland to collaborate on Arctic and polar vessels. This includes sharing resources and technology to design, build, and market these vessels. Submarine Procurement: Canada has sent bidding instructions to ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) of Germany and Hanwha Ocean Co. Ltd. of South Korea for the construction of the navy's new submarines. F-35 Fighter Jets: Canada aims to acquire new fighter jets to replace its aging CF-18 fleet. The program is still in development, but potential suppliers are pitching their services and technologies to Ottawa. Other relevant announcements Defence Investment Agency (DIA): A new agency was launched in October 2025 to manage defense procurement, with a focus on bringing Canadian industry into the process. Night-Vision Binoculars: The Canadian government was told to re-bid a $100 million contract for military night-vision binoculars after an earlier contract was reportedly biased against U.S. firms.

Amazing how many complainatives can have meltdowns and hissy fits on one anonymous poster giving down votes. LOL Seems to me there are a lot of insecurities, paranoia and hurt feelings bubbling in their brains LOL At least you can claim PP is waaay ahead of third place LOL

Because Quebec will not let a pipeline go through...they would rather have hundreds of rail tankers so they can have another Lac Megantic disaster and get federal money to help with the rebuilding.

At least he came home ot vote not liek the 2 LOSERS that hid behind the cirtains LOL

Yup...all lies when you LOSE LOL Carney is blowing PP out of the water. PP Le Pew hid his people to help the libs pass their budget..... seems it was PP Le Pew that didn't want an election LOL YUp...libs in charge and PP Le PP ain't LOL

Yes, you did lose...not expecting much more from a LOSER like you LOL

In my opinion, this is the fastest any government has moved in over 3 decades. From less than 1.5% of GDP to over 2% in less than a year and up to 5% in a few more years.

Hard to admit the complainitives were playing a game Eh??? Sad sad PP Le Pew and crew LOL

No pissing contest. You and I have discussed military for a long time. We certainly have spent our tenure in different circumstances and that is the way it should be. Just being realistic and not emotional. I also know some JTF folks, one was a neighbour here in Ottawa, and am aware of how often he was deployed. I also worked with a guy whose wife was a JTF photographer.

"While the Gripen boasts superior agility, speed, and electronic warfare capabilities, its lack of stealth and its reliance on visual-range engagements would make it vulnerable to the F-35's superior situational awareness and sensor technology." https://nationalsecurityjournal.org/saab-jas-39-gripen-vs-f-35-stealth-fighter-who-wins/

I think you forgot how badly Harper cut Veterans "given the callousness of the Harper government? In the past decade Conservatives closed offices, cut 900 jobs, clawed back benefits, killed lifetime pensions for Afghanistan veterans, and failed to spend $1.13 billion of the Veterans Affairs budget but found money to increase advertising and ceremonies for politicians to honour veterans." https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2015/08/19/Conservative-Attacks-Canadian-Veterans/ "Departmental performance reports stretching back to 2009 show that roughly 897 positions have been eliminated across Veterans Affairs, with 33 per cent coming out of the section that administers pensions and awards. Those same records show the health and rehabilitation branches also took a sizable hit — roughly 372 positions during the same time frame." https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/vets-disability-branch-budget-slashed-between-2009-and-2013-records-show-1.2863732 "While under the previous Liberal government the time needed to purchase equipment had dropped to only 89 months, under Harper this delay has grown to 199 months. This was partially due to the year after year defense spending cuts." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_policy_of_the_Stephen_Harper_government Lets face it...the Military has never been a priority in Canadian politics. Recent politicians and programs are showing some light but lets see if it really happens.

Calling me out?? HA HA HA Cause I hurt your ego?? HA HA HA Even confux calls you out..., goes to demonstrates how foolish you really are HA HA HA

Nope...Their electronic vote did not count.....they had to be in their seat and they were not. "Conservatives Andrew Scheer and Scott Reid both voted no but only in the time that is allowed for MPs voted electronically to claim tech problems. They were both in the House, so why were didn’t they vote in person?" https://www.brianlilley.com/p/no-election-for-now-the-budget-passes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7stpoBRCpcs Whine and cry and spout BS all ya want but the libs won and ...once again...you LOSE!!!!!! Have a good evening crying in your soup LOL

HA HA HA Another post with nothing to say. Nope, he didn't need lizzie...3 of PP's people didn't vote giving him the win without needing lizzie LOL You LOSE, Carney WINS... HA HA HA

Hmmm OK... Since being elected on April 28th, PM Carney and his government have hit the ground running turning promises into action both at home and on the world stage. Here’s a look at what they’ve accomplished so far, and what’s coming next:  Domestic Wins  One Canada Act Passed – Reduces interprovincial trade barriers and improves cooperation among provinces and territories. – Early agreements signed with Ontario, BC, and Atlantic premiers.  Middle-Class Tax Relief & Affordability – Introduced tax cuts for middle-income Canadians. – Announced measures to tackle housing costs and food insecurity.  Housing Action – Fast-tracked funding agreements with provinces and cities to accelerate affordable builds. – Launched a national task force to modernize building codes and speed up permits.  Carbon Tax Repeal & New Climate Approach – Repealed the federal carbon tax on consumers. – Introduced a pragmatic framework to stay on track with climate goals.  Criminal Justice & Public Safety – Advanced Bill C-5 to strengthen bail rules and penalties for repeat violent offenders. – Increased funding for community policing and safety partnerships.  Team Canada Collaboration – Convened the First Ministers Meeting to foster provincial collaboration. – Premier Ford and others have openly supported Carney’s approach.  Global & Trade Leadership  G7 Summit Leadership – Brokered agreements on AI governance and global wildfire prevention. – Secured $4.3B in defense and reconstruction aid for Ukraine. – Reaffirmed Canada’s NATO defense spending target by end of 2025.  Canada–UK Trade Working Group – Deepening trade, AI, and critical minerals cooperation with the UK.  Reset with India – Restored full diplomatic relations and launched working groups on trade and student mobility.  Canada–EU Summit – Signed an updated Strategic Partnership Agreement to expand cooperation on supply chains, digital trade, and security.  Strengthened Australia Ties – Joint commitments on clean energy, Indo-Pacific security, and agriculture trade.  Historic Greenland Agreement – Bilateral deal on Arctic sovereignty, renewable energy, and port development reinforcing Canada’s leadership in the North.  NATO Summit – Committed additional Arctic defense funding and enhanced Ukraine support.  US–Canada Trade Deal – In negotiations to modernize NAFTA/USMCA.  Economic & Fiscal Strategy  Attracted new EU and UK investments in critical minerals and advanced manufacturing.  Encouraged foreign investors to buy Canadian bonds as a hedge against US unpredictability.  Committed to balancing fiscal responsibility with growth, no plans to gut services to meet targets.  What’s Next This Summer & Fall  Final US–Canada trade deal expected by August.  New Arctic sovereignty and defense investments.  Legislation to streamline immigration and tighten border security.  National Housing Acceleration Program rollout.  Fall budget unveiling investments, tax cuts, and efficiency measures.  Bottom Line It’s been just over two months, and this government has already delivered:  Core platform promises—tax relief, carbon tax repeal, housing action  Major international wins—restored alliances, secured funding, strengthened security  A clear path forward to make Canada more resilient and less dependent on any one trading partner More work ahead but these results speak for themselves. 

I agree but PP was the one wanting it and threatening non confidence to get it. Hmmm, things change when his own people would not help him get what he wanted I am very bright...I knew it would pass and guess what? It did.

A win. is a win and a loss is a loss.....hurts even more when 3 conservatives did not vote to give Carney the win LOL

Still??? Obsessive compulsive much??? So sad LOL

Frightened?? LOL. I am laughing that 3 of his own helped Carney pass the budget?? How funny is that LOL What I comprehend is yes, May voted for the budget but better yet, 3 Conservatives help Carney get it passed.

Acknowledged....

Part of the experience of being in the Military, not just soldiers. The Military has a mandate to be in Aid to Civil Power. It always has been and that is why we were used for firefighting, flood relief, snow shovelling, ice storm aid, and even during COVID and the stand offs with indigenous. Search and Rescue is also primarily Military. As for JTF and CSOR, yes they do ops but not as often as some like to imagine. And as for military personnel being deployed, again, not as many as some imagine. Nope...subject is not religion and I went back to topic...seems you cannot. So Sad.
