Replacing the Subs

[Colin Parkinson]

That’s kind of the point.

Not a great analogy but the subs are supposed to be like SOF - you know they exist, but aren’t supposed to know what they’re doing or where.

At some point you need to release stuff about them or the voter will do to them, what our opponents cannot. Canadians need to understand the value of the subs. The RN seem much better at getting the different services and equipment out into the media.

Everybody is better than the CAF at that. Often you find out about things involving the CAF from reading other nations news releases

The CF PAFO's never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
After an earthquake in New Zealand some years ago they didn't want to discuss weather or not there we would offering assistance from a frigate already deploying there for an exercise.
The same frigate that they'd been releasing one statement after another previously.
For a while it looked as if they were going to deny the existence of New Zealand....

At the behest/orders from PMO. You underestimate how the short-pants cohort sees crisis as opportunity.
