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

    I remember talking about the F35 vs Gripen in the Canadian politics thread, and told I should discuss it here, only to get here and be told to discuss the politics of it elsewhere. But I digress.

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

    The tea party never took over the party, the tea party never won the presidency, never mind twice. The Republican party is MAGA. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/polling-shows-growing-number-republicans-identify-maga-movement-rcna201071 So no, this isn't going to the...

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

    The UK being broke since brexit does not mean the goal of the project is not worthy. Is the F35 program inherently bad? No, pooled resources and a global supply chain is good for economy of scale. The issue has arisen that when one partner runs the program outright and everyone else joins in...

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

    America has voted in Trump and (insert what you said because you have less strikes here than I do and I have been told to not call anyone including the President of the United States anything that might be conceived as a insult) twice now. This is not an aberration. The USA will have been run by...

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

    If the USA was specifically targeting Canada, yeah, sure. Maybe. The USA is targetting all of NATO. Laggards or not. So take that argument and bin it. Those days are over. GCAP doing what the F35 used to do would be ideal.

    i believe those are the global tariffs, not the section 232 tariffs.

    Any nation that places its trust in the USA for their security and military requirements is foolish. Once bitten, twice shy.

    the section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminium remain, so it's still 50 percent.

    Considering there is a bidding war between America and Europe(those tariffs are so self defeating and out of pure spite) and there are no exports to the USA... windows.

    I mean, its dumb. But its ireland. Whenever they have a chance to make sketchy money, as a nation, they do it. This is on the EU, they should just sanction exports

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    They do up to and until it runs into treaty deals, which because of section 35, Section 35 constitutionally entrenches these treaty rights, a province has no legal power to alter, inherit, or cancel a federal treaty unilaterally.

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    It's not impossible. It's just highly improbable. Every group that seems to want to even try separation first looks to work around first nations, not work with them. Next they try to work around treaty rights. And if those two fail they just say they will ignore it. But as far as I...

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    Not in so many words, but the SCOC has come out and said that provinces cannot separate unilaterally and that a province does not "own" treaty land in a way that allows it to dissolve or override the treaties governing that land. To separate a province would somehow need to clear the hurdle of...
