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

    And what of Francophone NB & MB? Are you equally content if labelling in Quebec has no English? Do we also abandon the metric system and other regulatory information requirements so American companies can just ship products with their domestic labelling?

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

    Dude, i presented a counter hypothesis and used language that identified it as supposition. You presented your hypothesis with language that represented it as fact (“Turns out that …”). If you are going to get emotional when called out for presenting your assumptions as fact, then don’t present...

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

    Do you have any sources to support your conjecture? I suspect most people spend more time looking at price rather than province of origin when buying food. On the other hand, the people who produce food do have an interest in trying to gain/protect any captive market.

    “As Trump has declared over and over again, his ultimate goal in this trade war is to add Canada as a 51st state.” “Against Canada, Trump is fighting a trade war that very few Americans support, under leadership that most Americans reject, to achieve results that virtually all Americans would...

    Not Russian disinformation. It is yours. We don’t need to face awful hypotheticals and conspiracy theories any more than we need to worry about bigfoot. We know you don’t like Carney, but you are not contributing to legitimate discussion when you are posting your worst fantasized motives for...

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

    In the absence of evidence, disinformation actors will be jumping to spread that theory as fact. Some might caveat it with “probably.” Crafting conspiracy theories in our minds then publishing those theories into the wild will not be helpful to the Canadian position.

    He said from the beginning that he would use economic coercion to force his Anschluss. We should not be surprised when he pursues what he said he would.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    So Canada gives a contract to a German company instead of a Korean company, and that means Canada is not “open for business”? GDLS building a proof of concept vehicle is just industry doing what industry does to entice governments.

    LAV 6.0

    For some vehicles, I am okay with a vehicle that is purpose designed to be up-armoured and is also delivered with its up-armour package. There are trade-offs with using up-armour. Being able to change-out a fleet's armour to incorporate new technology or more precisely counter the threat of the...

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

    I heard a former CTC Comd identify the 10 CBGs and certain CTC schools as having been the driving proponents to make SQ disappear … only to become the loudest to wail when their wish was granted and training was downloaded to branch/corps schools without allowing extra DP1 course days or was...

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

    Yes. You are again introducing information that everyone knows. The proposal we are discussing puts an indoor range in CFB Halifax, so you are looking at the dockyard, Stadaconda, or Shearwater. Even old 5 Div offices in RA Park are already being taken over by RCN. Local armouries are not part...

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

    Dude, everyone knows that, and nobody has challenged that. The proposal was for an Army Reserve training facility. Do you think the Navy wants to give-up space in Halifax for that?

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

    I suspect the Navy does not have a lot of free space it wants to hand to an Army Reserve simulation centre. But you will note my comment was about the big Army bases. That doesn’t make the big Army bases accessible via public transit. You can’t get to somewhere in 45-60 min on transit if...

    If you want your new facilities connected to public transit, don't put them on the big army bases that you have proposed. Even Edmonton Transit does not go to CFB Edmonton, and the other big bases are not in cities.

    I get that, but why propose building similar facilities in Petawawa, Valcartier, and Gagetown?

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

    The suggestion was to take "CIC PYs" - there is no such thing. The handful of Reg F PYs in cadet support units are not CIC; they are Reg F. Why? That is a huge investment in indoor ranges with the greatest concentration of your proposal's investment going to places that have existing outdoor...
