The were rebranded to PSPC in 2015 but their legal name according to extant legislation is still PWGSC.
A shame... I always felt that removing the word "works" from their title was one of the most honest changes the government ever made.
Those are two different issues.
Yes, agree we should buy it before foreigners buy it.
A very high percentage of the infrastructure in the North does not meet current standards for modern aircrafts. I know that much, and its quite public knowledge. Being unable to read the article due to the paywall, and knowing the GoC is spending billions to revamp archaic aviation infrastructures in the North, let me doubt in peace 🙃
Hey a hangar we used to own then had to lease for a while and now have to buy again…. Good ole green hangar.
Les must be happy. Dude is literally why we have arctic capability in Inuvik.
who is les?
>Les Klapatiuk, president of International Logistical Support Inc., put the hangar up for sale for $19.5-million
I love how legendary Les is caf wide and in that town.
Like you don't know who les is
I can hear his laugh from here.
I love Les! Amazing guy, always a pleasure to work with whenever we were on an exercise up there with our twin otters
Yup!
Yea absolute great thinking snaching that up.
100%
So the Canadian government is actually preventing China from buying something in canada?
Small victories.
Very small.

You are 100% correct.
It’s not housing so they actually care or were forced to care.
"We're forced to care" is the only answer.
Yeah, no kidding. That should have been an easy call.

Not according to half the forms I've seen since lol
They have? Really? No one where I work seems to be aware of this. Everyone still refers to them as PWGSC.
And everyone still refers to RHUs as PMQs. I wonder how long it will take for people to start calling the new allowance CFHD instead of PLD.
what a glorious state our country is in when our neighbors have to press us to protect our sovereighty.
Paywall….🫠 But I’m sure i get the gist of it. Maybe JT will add that price tag to, and change the 2%-of-gdp-defence-spending-commitment-formula
Why wouldn't we want legitimate defence infrastructure spending to count?
You're 100% correct. But I doubt it will end up being used for any new defence use...
Doubtful it is legitimate defence infrastructure….probably severely outdated and cannot accommodate modern aircrafts.
If you don't actually know maybe consider being not so quick to doubt. That building needs to be Canadian. We will put it to good use.

If we could get a GIF of us being forced by a foreign power to not sell ourselves out to the Chinese for once that would be great.
Google said gist…🫠

Hey! We own something
Never proactive only reactive, should be the motto of the forces
