Can we make that a policy here?

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/canadians-are-keeping-travel-money-home-and-its-costing-americans-800-million/ A drop from numbers in 2025...which in and of itself was a drop from 2024. I like it. Tariffs are secondary, everyday Canadians continue to vote with their wallets.

I meant more that I don't think anyone can accuse him of harbouring some sort of left leaning bias.

Was he at some point?

Correct me if I'm wrong...John Ivison, Ottawa bureau Chief of the National Post?

That cannot be so, I was told Canada sucks. Anyways, I'm looking forward to PP apologizing for making a ruckus about a recession that never was.

As long as she doesn't fit the narrative of America is right, the LPC is crooked, I think those opposed to thinking the USA can do any harm will believe shes a lying Liberal. That said, its really refreshing to hear from someone on our end who just calls it as it is with just a hint of decorum.

Trump is a two term president.

I get ya. Yes, I'm sure at the unit level, things will be done to ensure lessons learned are applied and trying to keep up with the cutting edge of drone warfare. But I think its fair to admit these commanders will be effectively swimming upriver if Hegseth is on a warpath against fighting in...

The article literally said, an I quote, “refocus on its core warfighting tasks as an airborne infantry battalion assigned to a Mobile Brigade Combat Team (Airborne),” None of that says they will continue to do work on learning the lessons of drone warfare.

Just a wave of people who bought a lot of stuff when interest rates were near zero suddenly needing to deal with real rates now working its way through the system. The article even said the rate of people falling behind is slowing, which lines up with 5 years ago.

Well...it's the American government thread, so I figured I would talk about America here.
