    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    A decade or so ago, I took a limo from my home just outside Toronto to the Airport. As we drove past the Ford plant in Oakville, the driver, a rather friendly guy, remarked about how sad it was that Ford, GM and Chrysler are no longer really in the car manufacturing business. I remarked...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    I realize that Stellantis embraces a wide range of basically American and European car companies. Money talks. And if Canadians show their displeasure by simply not buying Stellantis’ American vehicles (i.e. Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM trucks) in favour of other competitors, then Stellantis...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Yes, resources are our strength. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t or can’t round out our economy and develop a more solid industrial base. Other smaller countries have done more with a lot less than Canada to assert their independence. We need to go full tilt and become much more...

    The Americans are out to bleed us dry. To them we are only good for supplying them with natural resources. Until we stand up for ourselves and start doing less business with them and more with other nations, we will continue our way to extinction as a country. I don’t trust China either and...

    They don’t want us to exist, period. That’s what we have to get our head around.

    Frankly, I’m not sure if we can trust ANY foreign car manufacturer to set up manufacturing in this country. The Americans will simply say if those manufacturers don’t leave Canada then, through tariffs or some other threat, they won’t be able to sell their cars in the U.S. Trump, Lutnick (aka...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Likely just fantasy on my part but we should have a truly Canadian car manufacturer. If I recall correctly the Soviets purchased an obsolete Fiat model and turned it into the Lada. The finished product was a POS that was horribly designed and even more poorly manufactured (my brother-in-law...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Given that at least some of the fighters will be the F-35, is the Saab the only contender remaining? Is the Rafale totally out of the picture at this point?

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    It’s merely a matter of time until Trump will require an oath of loyalty to him and not the Constitution.

    Hey, if nothing else, Trump is an equal opportunity hater. https://globalnews.ca/news/11450105/donald-trump-joe-biden-autopen-photo-portrait-gallery/

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    I remember reading a few years back how Trump once admitted to an advisor (possibly Michael Flynn) that he purposely ignored some factual statements in favour of what “sounds good”. And then he keeps on saying the same thing.

    Important history is being made before our very eyes.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I never met him but my mother had a brother-in-law who was a C.I.A. agent and hinted at similar “shenanigans” in Central and South America. The one thing that really struck her was when he said to the effect of: “It must be a coincidence how a revolution occurs in a country shortly after I”ve...

    India (Superthread)

    This is undoubtedly the most colossal foreign policy blunder in American history…one that will most likely resonate for many years to come. Things will not end well for the U.S. and will most likely lead to its demise as a nation of influence.
