    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Are you referring to governments investing? Or politicians holding investment portfolios? No idea. I know that these predate his entry into politics. From the Liberal platform: Buy Canadian President Trump’s tariffs are fundamentally restructuring global trade and Canadian businesses are...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Yes. I don't see why one negates the other. No. I fail to see how previously established investments elsewhere negate advocating future investment in Canada, which is why I asked you my original 3 questions, all of which you answered "no". -Do you have to divest US stocks in order to make...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Why not? You haven't explained why one negates the other. Why would it? Why would previously established investments elsewhere negate future investment in Canada? Possibly. Is this the case? Don't all governments, regardless of political stripe, aim to encourage and foster investments in...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Do you have to divest US stocks in order to make more Canadian investments? Has PM Carney encouraged Canadians to divest their US investments in order to boost investment in Canada? Would divesting his US portfolio help the Canadian economy?

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    Fully agree. I travel to the US for work several times a month, and have never felt unwelcome, or experienced any animosity. In fact, many Americans often apologize or express dismay at how the current administration is treating Canada. I've heard on more than one occasion "we love you guys"...

    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    Hopefully this is only a short derail. The King wore his Royal Navy uniform during the visit in question. Various news outlets tried to hype the fact that he wore Canadian ribbons, such as the Order of Canada, Order of Military Merit, and Canadian Forces Decoration, which he has done for...

    Defending Canada from American Military aggression

    If Trump's bluster can be dismissed as routine and unsurprising, can longstanding and predictable NDP / LPC anti-Americanism be similarly dismissed as routine, domestically-aimed pandering to constituents? Is one more damaging to the relationship than the other?

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

    You characterize the latter threat as being routine, or a negotiating tool. To be clear, I only questioned how (in your reply to McG) you are able to square "principle over country" with the hypothetical scenario where the US disregards many principles that are seen to be sacrosanct, by...

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

    I don't think a recent (past 100 years) example exists, and certainly not involving democratic members of a collective defence pact. I think your last post to McG better explains the point that you're attempting to make, but surely you can understand that annexation musings from a close ally...

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

    Until very recently, the notion of a US invasion of another democracy was "otherworldly", and is probably why so many here are disturbed by recent US rhetoric (whether you personally believe it's merely routine or not). Sounds like you're fine with the postnational state concept, preferably if...

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

    An invasion of an allied democracy respects none of those. Oh, okay. The point is, if the US is invading allied democracies, the context has changed: the US would no longer stand for any of the above-mentioned principles, and likely wouldn't be the same country you seem to admire anymore...

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

    You mention health insurance, gun control, environmental policies, racial and identity politics as principles only fools would die for? What about the principles of sovereignty, rule of law, elected representation, territorial integrity, and self-determination? What principles justify one...

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

    6 with options for 4 more, from what I've read.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Leona Alleslev was elected as a Liberal in 2015, and crossed the floor to the Conservatives in 2018 - I believe she's the only Trudeau floor-crosser. Otherwise, I think the rest of your post is bang-on. Edited for spelling.

    American Airlines crash at Reagan international 29 Jan 2025

    From what I have read, it sounds like the change to 33 was initiated after the approach to 01 had commenced. Reprogramming and re-briefing a new approach would definitely require discontinuing the approach to 01, and probably being vectored to set up for approach to 33. A late visual...

    American Airlines crash at Reagan international 29 Jan 2025

    I haven't been able to find any recordings of AA5432's original approach clearance for runway 01, but just for clarification, being re-cleared for the visual 33 would not require the crew to cancel IFR, nor would that be common practice for a crew to do. Once a visual approach has been...

    Initiatives launched to retain and increase RCAF personnel experience levels

    In modern airliners and biz jets, most of the flying is done with the autopilot engaged. All take offs and the vast majority of landings will be hand flown. For auto land, the aircraft must be equipped, as well as the airport. The pilot can decide if they want to hand fly for a while, or can...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    These are excerpts from Maisonneuve's new book, which was still being written prior to the CDS change of command.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    G120TP to replace the current G120A in Portage la Prairie, and the PC-21 to replace the Harvard II in Moose Jaw, would be my guess. The Grob is a simpler aircraft for initial training before progressing to the Harvard II / PC21. King Air 260 for Multi-Engine pilot training, and Dash-8 400 for...
