We've got power, lights, toliets, and water!
Official naming ceremony to follow, but our first platoon of Royal Military College students arrive tomorrow to be the inaugural camp residents as they complete their Basic Military Officer Qualification.

@DogTurdCanada Tell me about the record profits for oil companies?
English
@JasonCroswell I don’t understand how all of you can be this fucking retarded?
We’re paying about 40 cents tax on every single litre!!!!
That is why our gas is vastly more expensive than in America!
Not because of a war. Not because of Trump. It’s because of greedy Liberals.
English
I’m just spitballing here but could it be that the oil companies are in business to make money and they aren’t going to drop prices back to 2006 levels? Unless you’re suggesting that the government take control and regulate prices?
DogTurd™🍁@DogTurdCanada
I hear so many people blaming the outrageous gas prices on Donald Trump, but here’s a fact for y’all to ponder. Oil just topped $100 per barrel. As of five minutes ago gas is selling for $1.90/litre in my neighborhood. The last time oil hit $100 per barrel was under Stephen Harper, yet gas prices topped out at $1.38 per litre back then. Yes, the Iran war is affecting gas prices, but there’s about 52¢/litre that is the direct result of taxes, environmental taxes, and taxes on those taxes.

@Lucvend Right? It’s all yay free market capitalism until they have to pay for free market capitalism

Funny, big hand little map always meant the bigger picture. Two up which helped us in our MA in order to accomplish our Comd intent and ME.
And it’s good idea fairy.

“If we are ever to have a combat focused appropriately sized military that is lethal, mobile & affordable, we need to have a Minister of National Defence who has served & was never a GOFO & who has the stones to fire all of the existing … Officers & then interview some of them to see if they can be salvaged or if they were enthusiastically part of the problem that created the current mess.”
English
@ErinTuroff @johnkonrad See, the funny thing is. Ol John here isn’t in the Navy. Although from the post he wrote that’s what he infers. He’s a dude desperate for any credibility and the best way is to attach himself to this abomination of an administration.
English
Thank you for your service. 🙏 I appreciate all military and vets regardless of how corrupt our society is. Being present and staying in a high frequency are so important. If you can’t read the room, you shouldn’t be in it. I imagine Pete is an excellent foxhole comrade. He has more principles alignment than most.

Ship captain who traveled with Pete Hegseth here.
When we toured the nation’s next supercarrier together and sat down to lunch with the crew, every eye in the room tracked Pete.
It wasn’t electric. It wasn’t rhetoric. It was reciprocity.
Everyone from the seaman recruits to the three-star admiral was locked in, because he wasn’t self-conscious, wasn’t buried in his notes, wasn’t reading off a script. Every person in the room felt seen and heard, even the ones who never said a word.
Most journalists take copious notes. I soak in details and run simulations.
Or maybe that’s not the journalist in me. It’s the ship captain.
We were standing in a cavernous hangar bay and I was already running a flooding scenario. What if the ship heeled hard and water poured into the compartment?
I was working it fast: watertight integrity, tie-down points, where the water would pool, where the escape routes were.
Then a hand landed on my shoulder.
Pete. He pulled me back into the room, and we talked briefly.
The guy is watching everything.
And not just inside his inner sanctum of four-star GOFOs and PhD advisors like Elbridge Colby.
He has rare situational awareness for what the warfighter actually needs. And he’s reading X too.
I can’t tell you how often something posted on X with real consequence gets clocked by Pete and processed inside his office.
The guy has his head on a swivel.
Dakota Meyer@Dakota_Meyer
This is what it looks like to have a warfighter in a room full of politicians…. Never get them confused. Proud to call @SecWar a friend and even more proud to serve under him.
English
Took my son for a walk through the lines of an Army Service Battalion today. Sadly he wasn't as impressed as I was by this fleet of water buffalos.
He doesn't know what he's missing -nothing like a hot drink of water on a hot day from stale canteen.

@MidOfficer @ThomasWatsonCD Hasty P’s can have the red back
English
@ThomasWatsonCD Or a single beret colour. Or some other solution.
There are 9 total common beret colours in the CAF. 144 items to purchase and stock.
English
Despite big investments it's unlikely that 🇨🇦 Army logistics will improve anytime soon. Part of the problem is a persistent inability to procure rational fleets. It's not just overlapping trucks, but the basics. 7 different beret colours, 16 sizes each. 112 line items to manage!
English
@Stockwell_Day Wow! How did it go when you were prime minister?
English
Please don’t get angry. I fact checked this. And I was an eye witness. It’s the result of some pretty basic stuff like lowering taxes, not raising them, and not punishing people for working hard.

@MarcKieley @brihard Seems reasonable. You should probably make them change environments as well
English
@JasonCroswell @brihard Well great, you made me giggle in front of a candidate and now they have to be recoursed back to week 1 so no one finds out.
English
I hear people are getting excited about our tent camp!
A few sea containers are delayed so today the electrical lines are getting installed and the trenches backfilled. Still plenty of time to finish it off before our first Royal Military College students arrive on 16 May.
English
@JasonCroswell Who needs a licensed electrician when you know SMESC!
English
The first 17 tents are up with environmental control units, lighting, and floors installed. The rest of them along with electrical goes in next week.
Now for the important question - what should we name the camp?
English
Every time I think I can’t read anything more stupid on here I’m quickly jolted back to reality.
David Parker@david_parker
If Mark Carney uses the Emergencies Act against Alberta Independence, I suspect America will show up and remind him what a real military looks like.

@civitano_444 It's nice having competency in the PM's office

Ps. I'm not even a Liberal, but this guy is definitely doing something right in terms of messaging.
English
@johnkonrad Actually no, you have to have been successful in your enrolment.
English
Good news: my liberal haters say I have no business commenting on the military because I’ve never seen combat.
Fair enough but apparently I’m still qualified to be a top general in Canada or Australia.
Lisa@Lisa9Sophia
Lt Gen Susan Coyle is Chief of the Australian Army Her official records show - -no combat arms service -no personal weapon use in defence -no instances of being under enemy small arms fire A Chief of the Army who has never experienced direct combat action. Let that sink in. She does however do a wicked Welcome to Country, very often

@david_parker Floor crossings and 3 by elections.....so good tweet man! keep it up!
English
The Liberal Party of Canada is about to form an absolute majority with floor crossers. Canadians votes, hundreds of thousands of them, millions even have no representation. The PMO has complete and total control. Democracy dies in Canada tomorrow.
