I'm just glad that an overall positive step in the right direction has occurred. Its also nice that it looks like its going to be hitting the bank accounts right before back to school occurs, hopefully some families will be in a better position to put some smiles on the faces of their kids...

LOL, not his best moment. But to be fair, it was a joke. Do you think those on the Fox newscast thought what they were saying was a joke? That one woman at the end going on about Greenland looked like she was all set to storm the walls herself.

Its the old adage: "You can't please all of the people all of the time, but you can please some of the people some of the time." If Carney gave a 40% raise across the board, I have no doubt that there would still be some people complaining that it wasn't enough. I don't know of ANY business...

Does the recently announced pay raise fall into the 'Deeds' bucket or the 'Not Words' bucket for Carney?

Happy to be hearing that it sounds like you all are being taken care of.

Its the fact that these individuals even have this sort of thought process on their mind. Imagine if a bunch of tv personalities said the same thing on German evening news about Poland or the Czech Republic? How about a bunch of Brits on the Sky News saying something similar about the Republic...

Its clips like that that should be played again and again whenever someone in Canada says that we shouldn't be spending more on the CAF to increase numbers and capabilities.

Agree - but that’s where the Court system, Congress, the Senate and the world trade organizations all come into play. There is more and more push back each day in the US on falling CDN tourism, alcohol/wine boycotts and such. The trend is going our way on this issue.

As I’ve pointed out elsewhere, in July 2026 when CUSMA comes up for its first renewal, if 1 of the 3 parties choses not to renew it, it still stays exactly in place for 10yrs until it ceases to exist in 2036. In each of those 10yr remaining years the 3 parties can still come to an agreement in...

I'm not suggesting picking any point in the US. I was trying to understand why North Bay was picked for the location of an 'Arctic' related radar base. I'm aware that its an existing CAF base but as noted, its no where near the north in Canada. Choosing Hearst or Kapuskasing or Cochrane, all...

I mean Minot, ND is farther north than North Bay. Why is that not a better location than North Bay?

Its just seems 'off' that North Bay is where we located 'Arctic' radar transmit and receive sites.

Yes, but only after July of 2026, so Jan of 2027 at the earliest- but this would be after the US midterm elections, which has the potential of the Democratics gaining control of Congress. I can’t see Trump being able to do something like this without the approval of the US Congress. Too many US...

Have a read of this briefing by a law firm on USMCA, it’s a bit stale but still very useful in understanding the agreement. https://www.whitecase.com/insight-alert/north-america-prepares-2026-usmca-review-and-potential-renegotiation When I read this - it’s now clear that even if Trump decides...

You’re not wrong on this.

I just believe in reducing the amount of variables available to piss him off.

Maybe. I think we are not saying/doing anything militarily spending wise until some sort of tariff agreement with the US is in place. Nothing to piss of Trump anymore than we have to.

Watch this Australia is really starting to come around that they are in trouble with Aukus. We need to move quick on our decision for our dozen - whether the SK subs for the GerNor subs, because if we wait, the Ozzie’s will move first and we’ll be last in line to get them.

Shame that all the dumps in Albania have long been emptied. I know a way to save on shipping small arm rounds.

Maybe 50,000 155mm rounds?
