Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

I believe she was seconded out of the Dept when that article was published....and one might ask why she was seconded in the first place

Because she achieved what she set out to do with her opinion piece?

I respect your insight and perspective operating in similar circles, but a couple things come to mind, but I’ll limit it to two major points that come to mind:

1) I believe the title of her opinion piece was unnecessarily inflammatory. While she didn’t have the experience of the likes of Vincent Rigby or Dick Fadden, she went in tactically guns blazing and an issue that could have been more convincing without the bombast; and

2) She most likely would have been consulted on the draft of the G&M article following up on her secondment and know that she was described as the ‘principle author’ of the policy. Technically, would that not have been ADM(Pol) themselves, with her (DG Def Pol), PCO Ln, DG IS Pol, Cab Ln and others also participating? While she wasn’t a mere secretary taking notes, I think she stretched her purported pivotal ‘architectural work’ in the publication of the DP.

This is not to say that she doesn’t have a case, she most likely does, as you point out, but she absolutely knew she was poking the bear, as it were. I’ll continue to look for the writings of Rigby, Fadden, Vigneault and others to make well-considered and communicated cases for Canada getting more serious with foreign intervention and nefarious work by our adversaries and the place that economic factors and policies have in that space.

However, I wonder what her motivation was to write that piece and have it published. From her position as a DG in north tower at pearkes, it seems she had the ‘fearless advice’ part of the equation covered but what about the ‘loyal implementation’?

Maybe her loyalty shifted to Canada over the government.

First Canadian SAFE contract goes to Poland. Not surprised, I think we purchased something from Poland in May.

Every Polish girl I know is like above average pretty. And Polish people tend to be pretty awesome (in my experience anyway)

I'm okay with this for now

Im sure i will be seeing this used in certain online circles as evidence Canada is a facist state with no freedom of speech before too long.

Well there was as I recall during the trial of one the Convoy type that his first amendment rights were being oppressed.

I blame our education system.

It's not surprising, it's surprising that the reduction lasted this long.

As long as we are aware it's a small rebound from the large drops.

Most of the Canadians who stopped going to the USA continue to not go.

people are sheep. Many of those souls who swore off visiting Hollywood did so because it was the thing to do and not from any firm anti-American feelings. By creating a perception that people are resuming their travels they are trying to imply that it is ok now and create a true reversal. Its a good PR move

 

[Jarnhamar]

Carney said a strong Canada will help make America great again.

Why shouldn't Canadians travel more to the US and spend their money there to also help make America great again?

Because mexico is objectively better.

The US is safer. Plus putting money in the US economy helps our pension indirectly.
