I agree. Team Canada…an absolute must. Or as Benjamin Franklin himself once said: “We must all hang together or we will all hang separately“. Interestingly, as you may recall, on the behalf of the Continental Congress, Franklin made a secret trip to Montreal in 1776. He was hoping to get...

I never met the guy but I remember my American mother telling me about a brother-in-law who was in the C.I.A. in the 1950s amd 60s. She said he used to hint about the role he had in helping to destabilize and overthrow the governments of certain Latin American countries that were resisting...

Let’s go back in time…way back in time…like yesterday. Remember how Trump was saying how the U.S. was absolutely going to do something about the drug trafficking in Venezuela? Well, in today’s press conference he hardly mentioned the drug problem. Almost everything was about…you guessed...

Don’t be surprised if, before long, Trump says the same thing about Canada and how the government is tacitly supporting the drug traffickers here. Drug trafficking is the hot button he has created, and the American people seem to be accepting it. So why change it? It worked once so keep on...

I take it hell will freeze over before the old Saint John Shipbuilding yards are given new life? Mind you, I haven’t been to Saint John in years and don’t know whether the yards were ever repurposed…e.g. condos.

I agree, the Democratic Party has gone the extremist route as well. Perhaps not as much so as the Trump Party (no longer the Republican Party of old). But still, both parties need to be replaced. I believe in evolution, not revolution. I was born in the U.S. during the Truman years and...

It may take a lot longer than that. Italy’s Mussolini, Spain’s Franco and Argentina’s Peron, for example, to this day still have fanatics devoted to recreating the past glories of their ex-leader. The enormous influence of the SuperPACs tends to create a perpetual climate of fear and loathing.

I don’t see this as humorous. Garten sounds like a sick, perverted little prick who would do anything to get more power, not just in his state of Indiana but to eventually take his politics on the road nationwide. I wouldn’t even be surprised if his mention of “The North” refers to the...

“Thought exercise”? Sounds as if it’s dead in the water before it’s ever built.

I’m surprised he’s not going to have the Hunger Games.

I’m sure Putin, at some point, said to Дональд Трамп, something to this effect: “We are going to take Ukraine and much of Eastern Europe and you will not do anything to interfere. In return we will let you have Greenland and Canada. And if you don’t agree then, well, remember all those hidden...

Foreign interference? The way I see it, that’s a pretty benign description by the government.. Am I wrong or does it suggest that the person being arrested is less guilty than the foreign entity trying to get an advantage over Canada? To me, it’s about spying. It’s about betrayal. It’s...

Sea Tracker…Traps…Cobra. I wonder how much of the cost of those technologies is due to the amount of time some poor buggers have to spend thinking up cute names.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/canadians-say-selecting-the-best-fighter-jet-for-the-job-matters-more-than-jobs-nanos/ Looks as if Canadians are beginning to see defence as a serious matter.

I found this to be an interesting read. https://nordicdefencesector.com/en/article/gripen-e-vs-f-35-the-wrong-question-to-ask

Despite the potential ecological tragedy of it all, it’s a wonderful pun.

The thing I like about the concept (as for the reality we will have to wait and see) is that it brings greater awareness of the military to the average Canadian. For too long, the military has been something both our politicians and the general public have, at best, tolerated. With Russia...

The CEO of Seaspan, Kyle Washington, is a Canadian. But I just wish the company itself wasn’t owned by his American dad who owns the parent organization (the Washington Companies). Still I haven’t seen any signs of conflicted loyalties. But you never know in this day and age of Trump...

The more Canada does what Trump and Hoekstra want, the worse things will get for us. They want nothing less than to destroy us as a nation so that they can pick up the pieces. The two of them think like hedge fund managers. They smell blood and want to go in for the kill.

If or (should I say) when a major shooting war begins, everyone involved is probably going to frantically put in orders for more aircraft. LM is going to be inundated and despite ramping things up to increase its production capacity for F-35s, further delays are inevitable. If we have the...
