You kinda proved my point... The guy is a douche who imagines the urban elite exist despite the depredations of the unwashed masses outside the urban centre. He is the very cancer I described in my quoted post.

The level of complexity between a tank and sub is like comparing Lego planes to Cesenas. A bad weld on a tank might lead to more repairs more often, a bad weld in a sub means the crew dies and the sub is lost. If the RoK is offering manufacturing, we should be buying their subs for the...

There is a continuously simmering argument from the urbanites to ban large SUVs and trucks. Essentially the downtown/uptown-set don't want us rural peasants on their hallowed ground with our rural vehicles.* I think far more could be done to prevent pedestrian deaths if we actually educated...

They already have a pretty strong conventional deterrent, but adding nukes makes a lot of sense.

The nation openly musing about weaponizing trade to subjugate us? That US? We suffered trade issues with China to stay "tight" with America, and America rewarded us with "national security" tariffs on steel and aluminium, with further tariffs threatened. Hardly seems like a wise course of...

I expect America will be disappointed in the future when they have less influence in the capitals of Europe than they'd had before.

Because everybody's feet are different and lots of us hated the GP boot. I went from Mk3, to CWWB, to GP, to BOOTFORGEN. Buying my own boots is 100% preferable to being forced to wear boots that dont fit my feet well.

While interesting, it's not really a useful data point. The West hasn't been in the business of building or crewing freighters in a very long time. It's a lot cheaper to build off-shore, crew from off-shore, and register off-shore. It's a lot easier to build ships cheap in a place where people...

This site has had multiple threads about the war, and the West's failure to support Ukraine effectively, since about March of 2022... I think your proclivity to be a contrarian is running into some real issues, and perhaps you should step back before beclowning yourself with more obviously false...

This is one of the biggest reasons we need to "make nice" with China to a point. We don't have the ability to produce things on scale anymore, because it was cheaper to have things made in China. That won't magically change because we don't like how they act, so we need to find a balance...

100% agree. We should be supporting Canadian manufacturers, and providing R&D funding/opportunity to improve their products for the international market. That's how every other country has built a defence industry.

Given America does more trade with China than we do, wouldn't slipping into bed with China also be slipping into bed with America? Or is America's trade magically different from our because reasons? I'm guessing you missed the last of Carney's speech where he talked about doing business with...

What is the benefit? A joke/fumble could be dismissed, but sustained comments long after it might have been amusing is a strategic blunder. Nations are already pushing back, and looking for alternate partners. How does that serve America's interests?

Then why not directly state that? What benefit has leaving the threat of invasion implied provided America? All it has done is draw together the rest of NATO against America, and inspired even more people to plan to do less business with America.

The thing the projects being completed in the next 12-24 months have in common is that they started before the USA went batshit crazy. Anything new/anything not yet signed should preference things not made in America, not completely bar, but preference other, less volatile partners. We have at...

100% agree with the bolded part. My issue is, people seem to revel in "punching Nazis", but are appalled when it goes the other way. Normalizing violent responses to people being assholes swings both ways, and the MAGA crazies aren't the only or even necessarily the worst crazies.

So physically assaulting and stealing from people is ok, so long as they don't agree with your politics? The guy is a raging idiot, but getting swarmed and assaulted by people isn't really an acceptable response to his douchbaggery. It just adds more escalation to a situation that needs a lot...

Oddly enough, I haven't yet received an email.. Which makes me wonder if the system is so overloaded that it's slowly working through the list of addresses.

Firearms owners aren't LPC voters in their minds, so they don't deserve fairness.

True, I suspect a fair number will hold their previously non-restricted firearms and hope for a change in the laws in the future. For me, the risk isn't worth the reward. If they become legal again, I'll buy them again.
