You're right, but never to the scale the American government has. And now that Europe is putting in restrictions, Washington is throwing a fit. I know you love your stars and stripes but even you can see through your own naked biases enough to see the blatant hypocrisy at play here.

https://globalnews.ca/news/12021434/trump-tariffs-deadline-buckle/ Okay, just to keep track. We have the Conservative Party of Canada saying not to cave. We have the Bloq Quebecois saying not to cave. We have Unifor saying not to cave. We have the Canadian Chamber of Commerce saying not...

https://theins.press/en/economics/295801 I imagine this process will only accelerate under the new "loyalty questionnaire" pressure coming from Washington.

Yeah, great. The electorate is of a different mind. I don't see any federal party looking to address this. Not one wants to lose boomers as a electoral bloc. So spend away we shall, everything else be damned.

I wouldn't worry one lick about it. Canada wont ever touch it. This is just a giant whine fest about something everyone knows will never be addressed, even as it become increasingly unaffordable.

Nice strawman, Brad. No one said Europe can't build a tank. The point is that when European nations buy weapons, they actively include American systems (like the F-35) in their budgets. When the US buys weapons, they actively blocks European imports to protect domestic jobs. Now that Europe is...

Except I'm not blind. I'm well informed rabidly anti america. Homework? Homework? Okay, you, Kevin, show me what homework justifies the USA demanding that sovereign nations, with their citizens tax dollars, buy from American defense contractors? Who gives a damn? It's not a two way street...

The USA caved to China because the USA cannot inflict enough economic pain on China. China strikes back and America cries uncle. On rare earths especially, China has the USA over a barrel.

You're right, I forgot this entire conversation centred around you.

Biggest winner of the Iran war. China. Biggest winner of the Ukraine war. China. Biggest winner of the American trade war. China. Why everyone keeps laying out the red carpet for that country is beyond me.

I love how this argument is only used for seniors. Young Canadians who live within their means and invested prudently are still cut off from CCB, but nooooo, when you apply the same thing to seniors, everyone loses their minds.

As long as you realize that the last checks to go out the door before any government collapses into complete and total anarchy, mad max style, will be OAS checks. In other words, Canadians will let the entire system burn to the ground before they touch that.

To the moon baby https://www.crfb.org/blogs/treasury-auction-yield-hits-highest-25-years I don't know what is driving this up, coordinated sell job, weaker demand as people sour on the US treasuries, or if AI is sucking up all the capital in the room, but either way, the chickens are starting...

So cut both.

I wont begrudge Poland for grasping at the Americans, wanting to be the last to be cast aside as America abandons Europe. So long as they are cognizant that they too are on the American chopping block, they just are not first in line. With Poland hosting french nuclear capable rafales, and...

Poland is playing both sides, as they will never turn down more strategic alliances for their nation, but at the end of the day, the Americans don't care about Poland, or the Baltics, or NATO at all. They care about Israel and countering China, and if Poland doesn't have a part to play in either...

"Poland has not yet perished, so long as we still live, and what foreign force has taken from us, we shall with sabre retrieve. March, march, Dąbrowski, from Italy to Poland, and under your command, we shall rejoin the nation. We'll cross the Vistula, we'll cross the Warta, and we shall be...

Listen, Napoleon tried. Daladier not so much.

Except that France is now exactly where it wants to be, using the EU to create what it never could in NATO. And Trump is only strengthening Paris here. Germany is taking part in French nuclear drills The UK is setting up a nuclear deterrence program with France. Germany recently got rid of...

Big winner here. France. For generations France has been complaining to deaf ears, especially deaf German ears, that the USA was using NATO as a vehicle to harm European sovereignty and push their foreign policy. And now the USA has let the mask slip, vindicated every French president from...
