Great day to be Canadian. I write about the intersection of Defence, Economics, and Politics from a Canadian point of view. https://t.co/jjHoI83HVF

Canada can have a defence industry that is purely Canadian, or one that actually works. Right now, it’s at risk of choosing wrong. I explore this topic in a new piece, The “Canadian enough” Trap, over on my Substack. I hope you read and enjoy! (link below)

@TrueBearingCA Every indication we have is that the land strike requirement is being treated as a tick box, and both submarines satisfy it. We can't infer strategy based on this design difference unless this difference is what the decision is based on. We've been told that's not the case.

Great piece from @CDNPolicyHawk on why Canada isn’t considering nuclear submarines. He answered why not nuclear. I’m asking why one conventional option has ballistic missile capability and the other doesn’t 🧐. x.com/cdnpolicyhawk/…
🇨🇦 Policy Hawk@CDNPolicyHawk

Are nuclear submarines the best submarines? Canada is just weeks away from selecting its next submarine and isn't even considering the nuclear option. Why not? I'm diving into that, and more, in my latest piece over on Substack. Link below.

Two submarines. One decision. This summer Canada chooses between the world’s stealthiest conventional sub and the only one on the market capable of launching ballistic missiles. That choice tells you everything about where Canada is headed. 🧵

@CDNPolicyHawk Great read! Memories of a now passed friend who helped then Min of National Defence, Perrin Beatty, write the 1987 white paper, “Challenge and Commitment: A Defence Policy for Canada.” As you referenced, that policy proposed the acquisition of 10 to 12 nuclear-powered subs.

@CDNPolicyHawk Great read. 12 modern AIP diesel subs is a significant increase in capability for us and they will be very effective for what we need them for.

@Jake_W_D_Brown SMRs cover a range of concepts that I think traditional nuclear submarine reactors probably fit into already. Widespread adoption of commercial SMRs might make the technology accessible enough to be worth considering again. But AIP's really reduced the necessity.

@CDNPolicyHawk My pleasure! I know the RCN has looked into nuclear time to time, and done some entry level research into using nuclear SMRs on surface ships. In general, what are you thoughts on the possibility of SMRs potentially being used instead of traditional reactors?

@CDNPolicyHawk A well written long read. Thanks for the efforts put into this. Didn't realise how much AUKUS could be used as a comparative benchmark for nuclear vs. non nuclear.

@CDNPolicyHawk Its a really insightful read. I still think Canada should have nuclear subs but your points are well made and highlight thr challenges and timeliness we face

@brihard Noah was suggesting Boivin as the front runner not very long ago. I have no independent information on the topic.

@CDNPolicyHawk Presumably he’s out of the running for CDS in the short term, then. I wonder what (or rather who) that then portends..?

Until the US make huge capital investments serving little economic purpose, it will continue to require Canadian oil. Of the 44 critical minerals identified by USGS, Canada is a major supplier of 20 - more than anyone other than China - including several the US can only import.
Mark Warner@MAAWLAW

The U.S. doesn’t need Canada for either energy or critical minerals. This isn’t 1987. The U.S. is a net energy exporter now and Australia and others have stepped up on the latter. The issue is harmonization on rules of origin on autos and others, despite Carney’s word play.

Noah's got a great article from a guest writer, Rear-Admiral Rowan Moffitt, up on TNSR today giving an Australian perspective on Canada's submarine choice. I have my own piece on Canadian submarines coming out later this week, but this is worth reading while you wait!

Rear-Admiral Rowan Moffitt, AO, RAN (Ret'd), former Deputy Chief of Navy, Fleet Commander and the first head of Australia's new submarine project joins us today on TNSR today to explore an Australian perspective to the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project! open.substack.com/pub/truenorths…

With comments from yours truly. I am glad to see the increased interest in recruitment, but boy oh boy is there a slew of assumptions going around. A quick thread (1/x)

In absolute terms, the US can find alternate sources for most of what it gets from Canada. But in doing so, it gives significantly more leverage to nations significantly less aligned with its interests.. and it will cost more. That's bad security and bad economic policy.

@DivebumChef @paulvieira "Commander-in-Chief of Canada" has been commonly used for decades. "Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Forces" was also commonly used until about 15 years ago. Not since. "Commander-in-Chief of Canada of the Canadian Armed Forces" certainly hasn't been used in decades, if ever.

Office of Canada's vice-regal issues email, saying media outlets refering to Governor General as “Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces” is incorrect. The proper title is, the office says, is “Commander-in-Chief of Canada."
