    The low productivity of Canadian companies threatens our living standards

    That's 3.7 points better than the feared 2% "Trump Tariffs" contraction.

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

    Bit of a gap between 1930 and 1952, with some big events in between. But what is a mobilization plan, if not a plan for exponential growth of the military-industrial complex to serve a compelling need?

    British Columbia NDP Majority Government 2024-(no later than) 2029

    Workers and consumers get most of the kick. Businesses pass costs along in pricing, automate jobs away, cut hours, and only sometimes absorb the costs themselves.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    History going back at least a few decades suggests that if a Republican successor to Trump doesn't put his own ideological stamp on all foreign and domestic aspects of the presidency, he'll be approximately the first one not to do so. Even a former VP. For a Democrat to fail to do so is even...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Without figures, uncertain. Easy to predict that places already in or close to a tourist nexus have a much greater likelihood of succeeding, though. For the rest it'll be somewhat more like the death of coal mining in parts of the US. Lern to kode.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    China crawling around in the arctic is evidence China is determined to undermine our economy and sovereignty. So is direct Chinese interference in politics and attempts to strongarm Canadian citizens, whether of Chinese descent or otherwise. As so many people are fond of claiming, the Chinese...

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

    It doesn't take a large army of people to guide the hand. One Eisenhower will do. This is not a new field of study.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Ah, the political left. Union workers get a little steamed on the line when their work is at stake and throw a few punches and other things or indulge in a little sabotage, no biggie. Anyone else, human rights hate crime.

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

    More than a General Staff is needed. Proper high-level planning - industrialization, mobilization - is a civil-military venture.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I cannot conceive how anyone not up to mischief could somehow close to within a mile of Cuba.

    Had a Dart with the 318. Nice and peppy without being overpowered.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Just wondering if those are explanations for the wildly different estimates (measuring two different things).

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Document count? Byte count?

    Canada seeks to buy Long Range Precision Rockets (probably US MLRS or HIMARS)

    Deja vu. I suppose there are places in Canada where you could plop down a circle covered by a land-based missile right now and leave it there. But if it's necessary to fly it to that point, just cut out the middleman and make it air-launched.

    Andrew Mountbatten Arrested

    Doubtless the UK Labour government is happy they have Andrew to distract attention from Lord Mandelson.

    The Fundamental Problem

    The "figure out" has been done - consensual representative democracy and free markets, emphasizing the right and responsibility of people to make their own lives. What remains is convincing people to change their own ways. We can't help or even tolerate people who are in family/clan/tribe...

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

    My guess is that a low troop density as a tripwire/OP line only works when the few troops can observe over long distances. At the bottom end, 12 guys in a forest won't do jack over 5 km.

    Trust in our Institutions

    Placement depends a lot on intensity ("strongly" vs otherwise). My mapping is approximately where I expect it to be, so the questions seem to be reasonable and mostly reasonably calibrated (a few are not precise enough) but I doubt the organization's capability to honestly answer questions on...

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

    Sounds very terrain-dependent.

    British Columbia NDP Majority Government 2024-(no later than) 2029

    An eternal cycle. NDP: "We've changed. No, really". Plurality of suckers voters: "OK".
