It's becoming impossible to keep track of this (which is perhaps by design)

That's still way too many right-wingers to add to our country. It's already bad enough that we have to deal with AB and SK.

Extremely disappointing -- this only emboldens Trump.

Fuck no. There are more Republicans in California than in Texas.

To paraphrase the old saying: Canada can remain independent longer than the US can remain solvent.

Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or...

When will you fucking guys wake up? Your country is being taken from you and you're all standing around like "nuh-uh, no one can be stupid enough to do that!" Well I have news for you: there are people that stupid, and half of your countrymen are equally stupid.

Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister believe Trump is using tariffs to force an annexation of Canada, just as his idol McKinley tried in 1870 (he also failed miserably)

Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China.

What? No.

Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).

Yeah, we all doubt it: 0.2% of US fentanyl came form Canada. Zero point two percent!

"Suspicious" is putting it mildly: it averages more than one car sold every minute at each of those dealerships.

How long would it take SAAB to ramp up? We're supposed to receive the first tranche of F35s next year.

I'd be on board with that, but it doesn't solve the short-term problem. I seriously doubt our CF-18s will last another 15 years.

This would be easier if another ally (or an ally, rather) made a 5th gen fighter, but there are none. We'd be stuck either with ageing platforms or waiting another 10-15 years for Eoropeans to finish one of the 5th gens they're working on.
