I was able to get in. My take on it is that, with our expanded defence spending, Canada COULD POSSIBLY spend some of that money on more planes. It’s like I’m being told something I already know. No mention of anything being firmed up regarding the F-35 or Gripen.

It seems like everybody’s getting screwed over for something or other. Maybe the Millenials should separate from the rest of Canadian society.

And the First Nations in the so-called new nation of Alberta start putting up roadblocks with their armed border guards to keep The Albertans out. Everybody ends up hating everybody.

And Alberta as the 51st state would resist it far more than an independent Alberta. Divide. Then conquer.

On a side note, I just hope that any contract signed with Saab contains some kind of provisions to ensure that, should Quebec separate, all production facilities will remain in or relocate to Canada. The same should apply with companies establishing headquarters or major operations in Alberta...

Regardless of their intentions, if they were successful in leaving Canada the Americans would swallow them up in no time. There’s no way the Americans would ever allow two or three independent countries on their northern border. No way. I think the Alberta separatists know this and secretly...

I’m sure the CIA has their people in Alberta working with the separatists. In which case, I just wonder if CSIS is aware of their presence. Or if they are, what would they do to counter their efforts?

I just can’t see the majority of First Nations people ever agreeing to this…not that the Crown has treated them fairly. Would or could a secessionist Albertans take all the FN land regardless of how their people voted?

Yes, very dangerous times. If this article is correct it definitely looks as if Homeland Security is actively seeking to employ the super right-wing paramilitary groups as ICE men. Take a look at their advertising efforts in the enclosed article. https://www.cbc.ca/news/ice-recruiting-9.7058294

I’m of the opinion that both the Republican and Democratic parties are rotten to the core.

I managed to get about two thirds of the way through it. Did Trump get as much applause as Carney got for his speech?

The nice thing about those cocktails though is that they show dissent at the most basic grass roots level. Very much asymmetrical warfare.

A million Molotov cocktails wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Definitely unwell to put it mildly. Unfortunately there are still millions of Americans who are more than willing to drink their cult leader’s Kool-Aid. I haven’t visited the Fox News website in a long time but decided to see if they reported on this. Sadly I was unable to find any mention of...

IMHO any ambassador who makes a joke about that shouldn’t be an ambassador. Trump started out saying all kinds of outrageous things that people said were just musings…until suddenly they weren’t.
