Canada had lost its only 2 supply ships. 1 to an engine fire and the other to rust. This contracted supply ship is a temporary fix. The new liberal Canadian government was going to cancel the project but the media publicized it and the project was not canceled. Canada's top admiral was blamed for the leak. He is now on trial.

Military modernization has never been high on the Canadian priority list.

And why should it? They know we will not let anything happen to them. They're happy to accept our protection while bad-mouthing us internationally. Pisses me off.

This article had little details but reading the other links posted elsewhere I have questions.
1. The Canadian naval fleet is in dire need of additional supply ships and there has been delays in defense contracting to procure the ships. Why is that?
2. If someone like this admiral is responsible for leaking classified information to multiple competitors within the defense industry, shouldn't he be held accountable?
3. Is the Canadian government being accused of canceling a program to procure additional, new, modified supply ships? If so, then what's their justification and alternative?
4. Was the admiral accused of leaking classified information or just information about the Trudeau government wanting to cancel a program?
Thanks for the post. Interesting story.

MAJ James Woods Jim, I hope I given you enough articles to be up to speed. His trial is still ongoing and I can't find the latest story but what may happen is the defense asking for the government to open up secret documents May incriminate the Trudeau government in 2019. Stay tuned! Happy New Year and I will keep you informed! I will post the stories on rallypoint if I don't post them on this feed. Most people who read my stories on this Supply ship have been very intrigued and shaking their head on what they have read so far. I'm glad this is interesting. Once this trial is resolved, I'm sure it will make a great movie especially if the Admiral is found not guilty!

LTC (Join to see) - Just what threat does Canada face? The US will never allow a hostile force to seize Canada so long as it is able to prevent it. What threat could Canada defend itself against without US intervention? None. Maybe it's time for them to deep six their entire military. Retire the admiral and sweep the whole sordid business under the carpet. They're only embarrassing themselves. Then they can go on running their nation like some hippie commune...
