The UK is moving farther away from Liberalism everyday. Throwing people in jail for months for tweets which don’t even directly call for violence, using anti-porn legislation to try and control what people can and cannot view on the internet, expecting people to give up their freedom of...

That loan is basically just going to allow the company to survive. Likely have 1000-1500 jobs laid off in the next 6 months from there due to these tariffs.

Look up civil forfeiture laws, the abuse of them is disgusting. Simple example being Bruce Montague, a man who fought our stupid firearms laws and lost.

That is debatable. Clearly it is acknowledged to some degree thanks to aboriginal treaties (right to hunt, etc.). The English Bill of Rights 1689 also to some degree applies to Canada and that included the right to be armed. Mind you the supreme court ruled against this argument, that being...

The fact there is so many tolerating it in the states is wild to me considering how many militia members and anti-government people they have there. Both the left and the right in the states have a vested interest in keeping the military off their streets.

Or gun stores that maybe complicit in allowing arms trafficking?

And having dealt a bit with college technical instruction staff (between family working as such and going through the programs they assist in) generally that is not attracting the best of the best plus it isn’t up to par for many trades. The people who take those jobs are usually lazy employees...

Thats not good pay for most technicians jobs, let alone instructors. Need a time machine for that to be good wages. Part time teachers at a college make way more. Yes there is, but do they have the skill set you need? Those that do are going to demand much more in wage or alternatively I...

It effects a lot of old people, many of whom shouldn’t be receiving it in the first place. We subsidize our elderly (who are the wealthiest part of our population) with the income of our youth (who can barely afford to live). We really need to start calling it welfare as that is what it is. Put...

Don’t forget that dividend payments (one of the main ways seniors get paid) get taxed at a lower rate than standard income (because somehow going out and working for your money should be taxed at a higher rate) and married seniors can income split, which married young people can’t. So that 90k...

The biggest advantage to pre-computer forms was they only asked for exactly what was needed and they were very efficient in layout due to the fact people were directly processing it. Modern systems often lose sight of the goal of the paperwork in the first place and over complicate what should...

They argue she was allowed to be chosen because she could speak two languages. Are you going to argue that you can get to senior government positions (not just elected, government at large which includes the military and civil service) without speaking both English and French? There is a hard...

Who cares if she is multilingual. That is one of the worst things we forced on Canada as it has resulted in a much smaller group of people forming government who generally don’t effectively represent the whole country. It is a self inflicted limitation which disqualifies many competent people...

How many targets can ground air systems manage? Once they shoot are they now a known location to be targeted? Do you need to destroy all the AD systems in the area or just knocking out key parts enough? Do you need to only focus a specific location to achieve superiority in a specific axis of...

In some ways, in others modern conflict could look completely different. For starters neither side has air superiority which is huge. On top of that Ukraine has fortified the area for a decade so it isn’t just open terrain. And neither side is particularly well trained at larger scale...

Ahh yes because drastically increasing immigration well beyond the historic averages of 100-250k a year is the provinces fault. It is only 100% their fault if they controlled immigration as well. The provinces have some crosses to bear (such as stopping building public housing in the 90s)...

The Victoria class was a great buy, the issue wasn’t the subs themselves it is the fact we decided to not use them as supplied and instead modified them. If we had left them as is and not himmed and hawed for a while before buying they would have done much better than they did. That one is on us...

Remember we haven't been at 2% GDP for defence since 1986. That 2% is supposed to be maintenance of a capable force, not the top end. You have to spend a lot more than 2% to get to the point that 2% is a worthy maintenance point.

Part of it too is they have certified people as red seal in the past who weren’t actually up to the standard needed. Two examples. Example 1: Power engineers and the old stoker trade. Some did make good 1st/2nd class engineers, some basically faked it and you can’t fake it in the real world in...
