The thing is it’s not just Canadian kids who are seemingly “soft”. The US military and our allies are also struggling to recruit. They are not magically more “tough” than Canadian kids.

There are entire sections of this forum I don’t care about, but I don’t care whether people post about it or not.

That’s also the demographic that we’re trying to get to join the CAF (and the US to join their military, etc)… :ROFLMAO: I’m an older Millennial (depending what year you’re using to count the shift between Gen X and Millennial), and I very much remember how “Millennials are too soft to fight...

A bit more of an update. Turns out that some of the complaints about them cutting in line were less than genuine, since apparently there was no line due to most people being at home for Christmas break...

Walz trolling commences. And some supporters are less than pleased at the change in venue. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/sucks-trump-supporters-visiting-dc-for-inauguration-miffed-over-cold-weather-changes/3817457/

So, the question is if Carney wins the leadership, will he prevail over the “Trudeau woke acolytes”? Carney, of all of the candidates (incl other parties) has the most economics experience. I see no reason why he would just go completely the other way.

Sounds like a 15-minute city to me!!!!!!

Sure, but I’m guessing most Canadians (not the ones who are plugged into politics) have tuned out once JT resigned as leader. I expect to see “Carney / Freeland is Trudeau 2.0” and “Poilievre is Harper 2.0” ads flinging both ways. But as some folks have mentioned here, the next couple of...

Is 1 Wg really Air Force though?

Economics is a part of social science, not “hard science” like physics, chemistry, etc. Hell, even with more “hard science” stuff people get it wrong all the time - like meteorology. As for qualification, I’d say he has done the most in the economic realm out of the candidates. Being a...

I mean, to be fair, those black Blackhawks do look badass.

Xiaohongshu (RedNote) quite literally translates to “Little Red Book” (as in Mao Zedong’s quotations) laughs ironically

As a complete aside, did they not have a shirt (jacket?) anywhere near her size? She seems like she’s swimming in it. Not to mention the breast pockets that can probably hold a ruck’s worth of stuff.

I look forward to the CPC pivot since “Axe the Tax” and JT are no longer a thing.

I’m getting the suspicion that people here aren’t understanding the volume of trade that goes between US and Mexico, and what the border looks like in some key areas. This is the bridge between El Paso, TX and Ciudad Juarez. In the picture, Mexico is to the right - so all those cars / trucks...

Will the American people be receptive to said blowback? It’s one thing to have American military members die “over there” in Afghanistan prior to the rise of social media, but I cannot see the greater US public being ok with their boys and girls from Iowa (or worse, El Paso TX) dying in Juarez...

I think it’ll be worse - like the Mafia in Sicily and elsewhere, the cartels also provide services to the folks seen as forgotten by the Mexican govt. Having Americans roll in (or support the govt which they already distrust - as @Humphrey Bogart says, up to 1/3 of Mexican govt officials are on...

I’m not sure the incoming “I won’t start new wars” POTUS would agree to that, especially given how many US body bags that could result.

It would make Afghanistan seem like a cakewalk.
