		The grasslands ecosystem at Suffield can be partitioned into four major communities: terrestrial (tableland), soils, riparian and aquatic, each with its own set of underlying factors that affect biodiversity within the community.

	Can the Air Force protect its airfields using Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles?
		CFB SUFFIELD – The Air Force has stepped up its involvement in what is perhaps the most visible sign of capability transformation across the Canadian Forces – uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAV).
		These and other questions were put to the test during the airfield security experiment, which was held in the vast expanse of southern Alberta, more specifically, the Defence Research and Development Canada experimental proving ground at CFB Suffield.
		Special mention should go to the DRDC Suffield personnel who repeatedly worked late into the evening and again very early in the morning to ensure that the Silver Fox was ready for launch.

		Many sightings of bright fireballs were made that same evening all across Canada but if the times for all these UFO sightings were correct, taking the different time zones and other details into account, these reports could not possibly be explained by a single fireball.
		Paul Hellyer, past Canadian Minister of Defense and now leader of the Canadian Action Party, is the primary source for the secret Canadian UFO landing site in the early 1950s (not to be confused with the 1967 UFO landing pad built in St. Paul, Alberta for Canada's 100th anniversary).
		Suffield after all was the Canadian equivalent to Area-51 where the Defense Department's Defense Research Board tested chemical weapons and new weapons of war.

		the sub "purchase" was actually more of a barter deal, with the British continuing to use CFB Suffield for tank exercises, in return for the subs.
		I fear we're going to see that same kind of knee-jerkism here, again, and most of the generally unlettered ostensibly "save our military" criticism at the moment (hint: any article on the Chicoutimi that uses the words "rust bucket," "Iltis" or "Sea King") is only enabling that response.
		UPDATE 2: For thoroughness' sake, I should have mentioned that continued British use of the Goose Bay air training facility was also one of the rents on the sub deal balance sheet, as well as Suffield.
