The US ability to shut out foreign opposition by pressing their vast tech industry to do it, is real. But this article downplays how quickly places are picking up. Denmark is already looking to France's experience removing Microsoft infrastructure for example. France is essentially increasingly immune from that tech pressure. The faster the US rots away the faster people rapidly find and build alternatives. Just look at the steady rise of fediverse for example. Reddits stranglehold is threatened now too.

Ah! Right. Nice point on the science centre. How does it compare and contrast to the soccer stadium? thanks!
Can you explain the meme? Sorry if it is over my head.
During the first flair up of annexation threats the Canadian Forces revealed they were preparing for a possible conflict that would require them to learn from their loss to the Taliban. There is no true dependency on the US if push comes to shove.

Edit: also, the US is actively losing to Iran, dont count Canada out so quickly.
Jokes aside its quite possible. Ukrainian partnerships with canada on domestic drone production, the US would burn perpetually if they dared. They are projecting a weak canada to save face, but they dare not mistaken canadian politeness for weakness. There is a reason Trump says we are the hardest do deal with of any country. Because we are done putting up with their shit. To be Canadian means to not be Amerikkkan.
Thats part of the plot of Life of Pii, and it doesnt end well for those who choose to stay on said island! Ahah
Did my first long distance bike ride using it and been surprised!
Fascinating to me thats the perception in the first place. Here in Canada its at least acknowledged that driving is dangerous, but its seen as more convenient and a status symbol even though in many contexts its a lot less convenient.
Also important to note most who do have a PAL and who do have firearms, usually have more than one.
