How very Canadian Snr Officer-ish. When there is failure blame your subordinates.

Dont get me wrong, the PM or DND should of put out a statement but we do need to know who knew what and when.

Apparently enough thats its causing a stir in the media.

I understand the messiah and his followers don't like criticism though so the push back is understood.

Outside of the already widely reported strikes on Ali Al Salem Air Base since this thing has started, what exactly is the story here? There's the damage from said strikes and no reported (Canadian) injuries.

Did this MP and/or MSM only just recently discover we had a presence there?

EDIT: The Canadian specific damage in question.

Base aérienne au Koweït | Le camp canadien frappé lors d’une attaque de missiles

Le camp des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) au Koweït a été touché par une attaque de missiles iraniens, au cours de laquelle un refuge fortifié a été lourdement endommagé, révèle une enquête de La Presse. L’évènement survenu il y a une dizaine de jours n’a pas été divulgué aux parlementaires...

We are also dealing with an active US trade war, ill wait to see march numbers to see the effects of China lifting many of its tariffs. Among other things that happened towards the end of Feb that we would see the effects of in march. We can make fun on MOUs but its a very business minded approach to start getting deals.

SCOTUS ruling the tariffs being illegal hasnt filled played out either. The damage is done but how can we recover?

Don’t bother. Maga north sees nothing wrong with trump’s approach or the effects it has on us. Facts don’t matter.

Well yeah, they are MAGA North after all.

I find the funny part is the people who are acting star-struck at Carney following business SOPs whether it's public grip and grins or dropping a few Arigatōs.

Or the ones upset by it.

I believe very much plenty just want him to fail.

which also means they want the country to fail

 

[brihard]

There are absolutely people eager to see the country fail if they can lay it at the feet of the Liberals.

Totally agree with you. There's large camps on both sides of the river that seem more concerned about the respective leaders failing than the state of our country.

To Carneys credit he seems uninterested in the tit for tadpole back and forth that's became entrenched over the last decade.

I hope that he’s able to refrain from it for as long as he’s PM.

No, that's not right. Ministerial by-elections were abolished in 1931 by the Bennett government, long before Pearson. And Pearson retired in 1968, so he couldn't have been involved in repealing something in the 70s.

Thanks for the correction (which doesn't change the gist of what I said, just the timing of the Independence Act). I was mislead by a book by a commentator of the Canadian political scene (conservative whose name starts with Ratz..) who pined it to around early 1960's.

hopefully he stays in long enough that his mind set rubs off on others so that we focus on substance not optics first

CBSA just leveled anti dumping duties on China

Notice of preliminary determinations: Truck Bodies (TB 2025 IN)

On March 6, 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), made preliminary determinations of dumping and subsidizing respecting truck bodies originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China.

I think that is one of his strengths. Plus I don’t see him lecturing as much as the last guy.

Trudeau would either antagonize or respond in kind to attacks on him which turned away a lot of people. PP played foil to that and used his already long career as an attack dog to good effect.

We finally have a politician not responding to that stuff and people have noticed.

PP didn’t figure that out until far too late.

Who is this MAGA North ? Are they related to Maple MAGA ? And who exactly are these people ?

When is a fair amount of time to expect deliverables ? I just want to know so I can set my clock.

What's the deliverable? If my little 30 person company wants a commercial cab and chassis with our industry's equipment mounted we're looking 9-12 months. If we wanted an engineered steel frame addition that's already drawn and stamped we'd be looking at next spring- maaaaybe a late fall build slot if we're feeling lucky/spendy.

Grab your AI and run the prompts
"Assume all regulatory barriers can be cleared in 24 hours, what's the lead time before start on a $50million project in Ontario?"
"what about a $500 million dollar infrastructure project?"
"what it projects are proposals still looking to secure private funding?
"Now consider the same parameters but in Churchill Manitoba or another remote northern location?"

 

[Oldgateboatdriver]

I'd argue the buck stops with the MND or CDS, and the question needs to be asked, when was the PM informed? and by who?

To quote Yes, Minister: "Minister, for an official to decide not to tell you something is a very heavy burden, whereof simply not telling you is simply department practice."

I just want to know when its right to expect deliverables is all ? Or are we just supposed to be clapping seals until, well, ever ?

I can tell you I don't see things on this coast getting better. Both food inflation and housing prices are still going up.
