It's possible, but I have some doubts about it. The area around there is rather undeveloped, there's not a lot of roads even off the base. It's also pretty flat there, and with the usual dry weather, you can see a long ways, there's really nowhere to hide anything. The size of the base is really the only thing that would enable anything to be done there in secret, especially with the Trans-Canada highway not far away.

We get the occasional British forces through where I work, I think it's mostly used as a gunnery range, and for desert type of training.

Incorrect...CFB Cold Lake, 11,700 square kilometres.

Central Alberta

The area is very undeveloped with only the occasional farm/rancf near by. the closes major development is in medicine hat at 50 km away. Plus the area is very flat, exept for the occasional valley, allowing things to be kept out of sight very easily.

As for the "incorect" information supplied, a correction, CFB suffield is the largest Army base, while CFB Cold Lake is an Air Base.

@DSO

The title of the thread is "CBF Suffield - Canadas Biggest Military base"

Although CFB Cold Lake is an AFB it is still a "military base" Therefore, CFB Cold Lake IS Canadas biggest Military base at 11700 KM square or about 5 Luxembourg's. Lots of Jets and the occasional "funny lights" episode, also some fantastic fishing up there.

@ census

after looking at this in more depth, i agree. CFB Cold lake is canada's largest military base. Lets include CFB cold lake in this dicussion too. Both bases have secretive operations and resurch being conducted. Post all you know.

Note: title will be changed

Some new information has come to my knowledge. I have learned from a confidential source that the Canadian and British military are continuing to do questionable science at Suffield.

My source could not go into detail, however they did reveal to me that things are happening there that many would have a hard time beliving. Tests to determine dispursal patterns of agents for example use the actual agents and in many cases they are harmful/deadly.

I'm contiunuing to try and find out more, and when i do i'll be sure to pass it on. These bases are definitly up to strange stuff, the extent of which is still unknowen.

I worked at AETE (Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment) at Cold Lake for 9 years. AETE is Canada's Flight Test Center, same as Edwards, China Lake or Pax River. It would be a VERY big stretch to say that Cold Lake is the same as Area 51.

Well the base i'm more concerned about is Suffield. there ahs been alot of strange activity there ove the years and it seems to have a more secretive air then the other bases around the country. However one can find alot more about Suffeild and Cold lake then Area 51, they even have their own websites. But what better place to hide something then right under our nose?

I can honestly say after living in Suffield for 6+ years thats its no area 51.

DRES does indeed test there, chemical desperments, well I certainly would hope our military would have an idea on how to combat chemical warfare, I would like to think they would indeed be smart enough to have an idea on how it desperses. Its a training area for ground troops. Suffiled also has an enormous amount of shallow drilled oil wells, perhaps part of the reason for the odd roads. There are many protected areas...for burrowing owls and alike as CFB Suffield is very concerned with protecting endangered wildlife.

its really funny that, well actually sad that the people of canada have no idia we are secounds away from joining three countries together such as Canada,Mexico and the US. so a big base just make cents!

Where did you get this BS information? I am a Canadian, more specifically from Alberta (northwest) and about 400 miles from Cold Lake.

Keep in mind - our population is about 33 million (less than the population of California) and we have almost nada for military equipment or funds for them.

Therefore there wouldn't be much, if any, military resistance if the USA annexed Canada. It has always been a topic of conversation up here, however your suggestion that we are "secounds away from joining three countries together" is bogus, unless you can provide some facts to back up that statement.

Well the North American Union was proposed, it most likely won't happen since it will create a united currency and then the Americans can't buy products and services from Mexico and Canada at a profit. There was also the idea of creating a separate entity based around Cascadia which would have included British Columbia, Alberta (for some reason), Washington, Oregon, and California.

Also, we actually have more "secret" or "covert" military installations than people think. There is one somewhere up in the Yukon that reportedly house a Canada-US aerospace program along with a fortified position near the Alaskan border. Don't know the names but there are occasionally truck convoys with steel girders and sacks of cement and crap like that with no conventional destination. That's why the Yukon sucks. We have no idea what happens up here.
