Remembrance Day Ceremony in Esquimalt, BC, Canada on 11 November 2025. Image copyright: Joetey Attariwala
Today is a day to honour those that paid the ultimate sacrifice, so I was heartened to see so many people attend the Remembrance Day ceremony in Esquimalt, BC, Canada.
May we learn from the past, and never let our fallen's sacrifices go in vain.

Pausing on Remembrance Day to honour all those that served and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today. Always remember the Canadians and Allied Forces who stood, and stand, for freedom, and never take that for granted.

Tonight was military appreciation night at the @victoriaroyals.bsky.social game which was supported by Babcock Canada. It was great to see people out to support the @royalcanadiannavy.bsky.social and @canadianforces.bsky.social. The Royals won too!

Just saw this beauty, C-GSIV, at Royal Jubilee Hospital. The Leonardo Helicopters AW169 is the newest #HEMS air ambulance platform in Canada, and is delivering life saving services across British Columbia. It is leased by Babcock Canada and operated by Ascent Helicopters.

Seen is a Leonardo M346 advanced jet trainer in Ottawa, Canada, on 22 October 2025. The aircraft is a candidate for Canada's Future Fighter Lead-In Training project. It is also a contender for the US Navy's advanced jet training requirement. Photo copyright: Joetey Attariwala
Great to see the Leonardo Aeronautics M346 in Canada! This is the only one on the continent at the moment, but there is much potential for Canada's FFLIT project, and for the US Navy. Canada, USA and 13 other countries are training on it at #IFTS in Italy.

Wonderful to see HMCS Corner Brook (SSK 878) back home today from Operation LATITUDE. The two-month mission had the submarine operate in the Alaskan Theatre of Operations which includes the Northern Pacific and Western Arctic.

I'm happy to post this video of a Royal Canadian Navy leader whom I respect - Rear-Admiral David Mazur.
His speech is informative and gives a glimpse into the leader I'm honoured to know.

Do you know the backstory of the name of Canadian Submarine Force building D85 at CFB Esquimalt?
It's one all Canadian's should know about, let alone others.
Learn about it in this video:

I totally hear you. Most of the dive tender boats for the Navy are ancient and need replacing. One thing at a time though... this is a good start.
Plus, there is another aspect to this. The Navy needs crews for the AOPS, so decommissioning the MCDVs frees up personnel.
30+ years is pretty darn good for any ship, but it's low when compared to how long Canada typically keeps ships in operation. The MCDV's have been harder to support as they age, so divesting them and focusing on the new Canadian Continental Defence Corvette project is a good idea in my opinion.

What type of aircraft do you think should ultimately replace these jets?
