    A Deeply Fractured US

    It will definitely add fuel but unfortunately most people don't know that "homicide" in a medical examiner's report does not equal "murder". It simply means that the person died as a result of another person's actions - intentional or unintentional. Edit: @brihard beat me to it.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    I recall reading somewhere that most (if not all?) the Chinese EV's that were imported by Canada before the 100% tariffs went into effect were Teslas built in China. From ChatGPT:

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    The reflexive anti-Carney/Liberal crowd seems to view this "strategic partnership" as an indication that Canada is totally abandoning our existing relationship with the US and leaping into bed with the CCP instead. I personally see it as Canada strategically entering trade relationships with...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Nice try, but no. Concealed carry is legal in Minnesota so nothing wrong with a person carrying as they go about their business. However, while legal I think that common sense would suggest that if you are planning on confronting armed law enforcement officers...the same officers that are...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    DHS is saying he had a handgun and two magazines. Whatever you think of ICE and their tactics I don't think carrying a concealed weapon (if true) while you are planning to confront armed law enforcement officers is a very wise decision.

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    If we were to get the KS-III submarines from South Korea we'd have Hyunmoo 4-4 SLBM's which could technically give us a 2nd strike capability if equipped with a nuclear warhead (which presumably SK would do as quickly as possible if they went nuclear). The range on these is pretty limited...

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    My understanding it that the whole purpose of the land-based testing facility is to put together all the electronic components for the River-class to test and make sure they work together with the AN/SPY-7 Radar and Aegis before you put it on a ship and find out that things don't work together...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I think the point of this thought exercise is that it would be a Mobilization drill i.e. the Class A Reservists would be called up to active duty. Under Section 31 of the NDA: While it makes for an interesting discussion I can't imagine the Government actually implementing Section 31 just...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    I'm not sure where this idea that by regaining access to the Chinese market for some of our products and in return allowing China to export a limited number of EV's to Canada (which Canadian are under zero obligation to buy) somehow translates into us putting "all our eggs in one basket" or not...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Is that not already the case? You need justification for a warrant or wiretap. Reasonable grounds for arrest. Protection from unreasonable search and seizure. Rules on proportionality. Restrictions on entrapment. Obligations on disclosure. All of these are designed to prevent the State...

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    If the US were to invade Canada nobody would come to our aid militarily. They neither have the capability or the will.

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Well...the author sure is ambitions! Replacing a planned order of 88 x Fighters with 450 x Fighters (65 x F-35B, 86 x Gripen E/F, 128 x Eurofighter Typhoon, 81 x TA-50, 90 x FA-50) plus a pair of Aircraft carriers and a pair of LHA's. Phew! I've been one of the people that has been more open...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Maybe they're hoping to kick the can down the road until after the midterms so they can see what the new political landscape looks like (i.e. do they have to continue to cow to Trump or will Congress have their back in challenging his power?)

    Maybe with expanded market availability there will be incentive for farmers to grow their herds?

    There's nothing "good" about any of this.

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    I think the "Canada after NATO" thread should be unlocked. There are lots of questions and issues related to the potential end of NATO that aren't related to the Greenland situation. Discussions like Canada joining JEF or Poland getting nuclear weapons shouldn't derail a thread about Trump...

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    I think PM Carney should quietly approach the Premiers and see if they would be supportive of offering the option to Greenland of joining Canada as a new territory. If there is no significant opposition then it could be presented to Greenland & Denmark as a possible de-escalatory off ramp to...

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    Are Manifest Destiny, ego and greed not plausible sources of underlying coherence to Trump's individual actions? No need to seek for some type of 4D Chess strategy when base human nature can provide a logical explanation.
