    My experiments with AI

    Any glitches or "surprises" from what you look for yet? I notice Chat GPT can throw in a goofy, obvious mistake once in a while, but I don't use Grok as much.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Given all his faults, and given the CF spells Honorary Colonel without the “u,” I’m willing to overlook that one :) Better late than never. Let’s see how much that helps fumigate the PMJT stench from Cabinet.

    The article is talking specifically about warheads/delivery devices - although some would say Canada getting nuclear-powered subs would make it a "nuclear military" (like the Aussies getting nuke subs without getting the missiles). Or at least as nuclear as AUS's navy.
