Tanks in the park, Montreal, Quebec

[sksvlad]

This is the main entrance of La Ronde, a large amusement park in Montreal. Canadian military had a huge display of military gear there, so we learnt about them instead of screaming on roller coasters. Did you know that entire Canada's Navy is comprised of 15 ships? Did you know that when training WITHOUT guns, all verbal commands are in English, BUT, if soldiers carry guns, all commands are in FRENCH? I didn't. If you detect different colour boots and other inconsistencies in soldiers' uniforms, it is because they are transitioning from one uniform style to another, and they must give up the old one to get the new one.

Uh, Vlad. You said there were gonna be tanks. Is this like the "bombers" thing? You foolin' us again? :vroam:

Right you are, things on wheels with guns, it is more impressive to write "tanks", if I say "APC", no one will open my post, gotta fool the public, are you following the Presidential campaign? But I promise, there will be tanks from Canadian War Museum, I just have no time to process all the pictures, will do it at home on Monday.

From what I hear, not for long. I'll avoid the politics and just say there are new priorities in the future. Oldest son works with the RCAF and he's very depressed how things are going as he's buds with many in that organization and they are NOT optimistic or happy.
