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

[CBH99]

For anybody who still doesn't understand why I have such a distrust of the Liberal Party of Canada, it's because ever since 2015 they seem obsessed with government censorship + the elimination of reasonable privacy

Bill C-22 could force tech companies to allow police to eavesdrop through phones and smart speakers.

As well, two locks in the St. Lawrence portion are US.

It would be expensive, but not impossible, to bypass the Snell and Eisenhower Locks and the Wiley Dondero Canal which links them and have an all-Canadian seaway. This was Dief's intent when the builders left a large potion of the old Cornwall Canal intact.

MND has announced that Canada is nominating Gen Carignan for chair of the NATO military committee. Election this fall; position change summer of 2027.

An interesting , and expensive, fantasy-type project, particularly given the comparatively small tonnage few Canadian ports vs the US (it's hard to find clear data - one site classifies the likes of Parry Sound and Midland as 'major' shipping ports, which is touch laughable). Maybe we could enlarge the Canadian lock at SSM.

You do understand that the various US tech firms (and Chinese) already do basically this with your own phone or home 'Alexa', right?

What would the odds be? And, what would it mean for Canada?

Tiffany has for the most part been distancing herself from anything political. Same for Ivanka. I've seen some posts suggesting Don jnr as a possibility.

Tiff and her father seem somewhat distant, compared to the children of the first and current wives.

Don Junior, and Senior, are both ahead of Ivanka and Eric with gamblers:

Not sure which would be least hostile to Canada.

One significant barrier to overcome would be the new (2015) bridge across the canal. The original bridge was a high level structure built at Deif's insistance because he never trusted the Americans. We'd have to go with a lift bridge or tunnel like Beauharnois.

One more year as CDS

Exactly. MND just announced the CDS' best before date.

Exactly. MND just announced the CDS' best before date.

There were rumors she would be gone this summer, fresh blood will be needed next year as we advance into a new era

 

[Grunt_031]

Exactly. MND just announced the CDS' best before date.

And shedding of more of the JT legacy.

 

[ArmyRick]

Maybe my old platoon commander/commander of the army, Mike wright gets the job as CDS?

Would like to have seen Angus go CDS.

 

[MilEME09]

Good choice but I'd argue we need him to stay on as army commander to over see the early stages of implementing CAMO

 

[dapaterson]

With the NATO job not changing over until 2027, we're a bit premature in calling out person X or Y as the next CDS.

You two have never been more wrong about anything.

There are a lot of burned bridges behind me.

Not to mention that I am the only CAF officer having spent 3 years on Class B in Ottawa who didn't turn in his uniform for a consulting job. I revel in sleeping in and spouting nonsense when the mood strikes me.

Only because contracting for legal advice / legal support is even more convoluted than every other form of contracting
