Considering they are setting the conditions so they don’t, I am not sure I see it happening. Jags being fired, commanders being fired, veteran senators being publicly dragged through the mud for simply saying to follow lawful orders. These aren’t the steps to build a conscious refusal in the troops.

It was never not a lemon. We bought and paid for a experimental unproven aircraft instead of a proven guaranteed product. So far it has cost us 6 people. Someone should be showing up at Chretiens doorstep and tossing their names at it. The cadillac wouldn’t have had this problem.

Yes it can, all it takes is one law and they shall deport themselves voluntarily. Make it illegal to employ illegal immigrants. Any American found doing so is liable to 5 years in prison (a fine doesn’t dissuade the rich enough). Poof, the vast majority will leave as with no work there is no...

My point being trade ties keep people from war with each other, not necessarily with other nations. Japan likely wouldn’t have attacked America if oil kept flowing as that was more valuable to them than any attack could be. Not saying it wasn’t necessary from a geopolitical standpoint.

There is 3 main firearms rights groups in Canada. CCFR, NFA, and the CSSA. All have pros, also have cons (NFA for example had a lot of drama for a few years, not sure if that was resolved or not). Donating to a American group equals absolutely no return for Canadians. Their second amendment...

Canada has always been fairly anti-military spending, mainly because of a lack of a external threat. It has nothing to do with unions, most members have nothing to do with the ‘upper’ portions thoughts. Keep in mind the lowest the defence budget in modern history for Canada was under Harper...

If we do buy the F35 we need to follow Israels example and completely reprogram it. I don’t trust anything the Americans are putting out there for external usage especially after what they did with turning off Ukraines equipment.

The key trigger for Japan attacking the US in WWII was America cutting off their oil supply.

Greenland isn’t even about money, it is about believing in imperialism and manifest destiny. For example the rare earth materials in Greenland. 1) it takes 29 years on average to make a mine in the USA. 2) it takes 7-10 years to get a rare earth metal refinery running 3) 90% of the global...

I don’t like Communists but I can understand why many Chinese would feel pride over their accomplishments. They basically brought about the most stability and prosperity in over 200 years to China. Bringing it from chaos, civil wars, and massacres, to peace and prosperity. Are the communists...

In practice public schools in Ontario were Protestant not secular. That only changed with a charter challenge in the 80s based off freedom of religion ending it. In my opinion it should go one of two ways. Either: A) only fund public schools and the catholic boards can either find their own...

Do you believe that photoshop should be responsible for someone creating child porn with it? Because people have been doing that as long as there is computers. What I am seeing the main complaint being is how easy it is, which that is 100% true. However that is also part of the technology...

Wait until you meet some of the Reg force duds. My favourite was the PO1 who would get put ashore during workups and brought back on immediately afterwards because the whole chain knew he couldn’t pass so better to have him not there. There is people in every part of the CAF who shouldn’t be...

Or the photo shop program creator being sued for what someone does with the editing tools. Or the car manufacturer being sued for someone speeding. Or the alcohol distributor being sued for someone getting a DUI. Etc. Lots of blame on the tools. Lots of refusing to acknowledge someone made it...

Yeah devastating for firearms owners. A true cut off your nose to spite your face moment.

I am finding it very interesting the comments made by the son of the former monarch (specifically the fact they are choosing to amplify his message in the media). I wonder if they are going to try and bring him back as a alternative for the Iranians to rally behind. These protests are likely...

You risk propping up the regime by giving a external enemy to boaster support to their cause. Look at Canada, the Liberals were toast until Trump got in and it completely changed the narrative. Carney et al focused on the external threat, Pierre focused on domestic issues and lost because of it.

Harper before he was in power promised repealing the firearms act. In power he got rid of the long gun registry and gave the ability for firearms to become ‘de-prohibited/restricted’ by OIC. That OIC clause (i.e. prohibited by name) is the worst part of the firearms act by a long shot. At least...

Canada’s defence strategy with America has been the integrated ties with them for the last 90 years. Basically make it so costly to them (mainly economically) that it isn’t worth invading. Plus they basically get everything they want resource wise to begin with so what would they really gain...

Hiding one’s face well doing standard government work is wrong. It is like drafting laws and not having any politician sign their name to it or giving who voted where. Or having a judge sentence someone but not attaching their name or the names of who is charged and convicted. Accountability is...
