Not Canadian, but here's one way a foreign agent registry law/regulations can work to root out bad actors - in this case, what looks like a South African spy busted at Oak Ridge National labs in the U.S. "Former Oak Ridge National Laboratory Employee Sentenced To Federal Prison For Acting As A...

Agreed. Well, a lengthy, reportedly robust talk about security and defence with POTUS47 got criticized for not including any trade questions - this from folks who say Canada’s not doing enough in defence. This based on questions from reporters. Prioritizing the defence discussion there makes...

Maybe not you individually, but there’s been one or two posts about asking why Canada has chosen in certain situations to be edgy with the US. Can’t say the “bend the knee” sentiment dial is completely zero. But I stand to be corrected if I misunderstood.

Both sides are in the usual can’t win position. Media will get dinged for not asking about a story potentially affecting cross-border trade significantly - in the bag, bought & paid for. Now they get dinged for not leading with a story that’s been in the news cycle for a day or so? Feeding...

Usual reminder of presumed innocent until confirmed guilty via due process. More on this - wonder how the guy with the nickname "Shrunken Shlong" will do in the prison system? https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-grand-jury-indicts-8-men-conspiracies-related-plot-attack-ufc-freedom-250-event...

Necrothread bumped with the "coming back around" latest: get rid of the USSR 2.0 AA stuff, maybe you'll get some F-35's?.... https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2026/07/kremlin-says-russia-touch-turkey-fate-russian-s-400-missiles...

Twenty years ago today .... "LSSR gathers to honour fallen soldier - Members of the Lake Superior Scottish Regiment gathered to honour Cpl. Anthony Boneca, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2006 ...

You must be new to defence acquisition in these parts, then? :) I think both sides here have at least small grains of salt to be taken when reading what they say they'll do. I do hope for the best, but it's still early days.
