We don't have to invest in weapons. Nobody aside from the US is threatening Canada, and it's pretty clear that sending billions to the US military industries isn't going to make Canada more secure.
Carney is literally going to do austerity in Canada to feed the military industries of a country that's openly threatening to annex Canada. You could not think of a worse idiot to be at the helm right now.
Does anybody seriously think that Canada would be taking on Russia or China? The biggest danger to Canada is obviously the US, and the way US would capture Canada wouldn't be by military force, but by leveraging social instability that will result from the austerity policies to feed this massive increase in the military budget. You appear to have a one dimensional view of security focused on the military. The reality is that security starts with having social stability and a functional economy that serves the interests of the public. Undermining that to focus on the military is the height of idiocy.
Go back to reddit where you can regurgitate your propaganda dronie. Nobody with even a minimally functioning brain thinks Russia is going to conquer Europe. I also love how you trolls screech how Russia took three years to conquer a tiny part of Ukraine, but at the same time Russia is going to roll over all of Europe. And your mask already fell off, everybody knows how much you racist fascists 'like Russian people'. You're not fooling anybody here.
Hopefully this stuff pans out. I'd love see it happen.
Is Russian imperialism in the room with your right now?
I didn't move any goal posts at all. I've repeatedly stated the exact same position here that the actions Carney is taking are not helping make Canada less dependent on the US, and make it self sufficient. Also, nowhere did I talk about him being “America loving traitor.” That's just a straw man you're building with your reddit style debate bro tactics. What I actually pointed out was that his actions aren't helping make Canada sovereign.
More like elbows down, ass up.
Because other countries need to know we keep our word.
That's complete nonsense. First of all, I don't know who these countries are. Second of all, all they learn is that Canada will bend over under pressure. This is not an arbitrary reneging on a deal, it's a response to aggression by the other country. If you made a deal with somebody and they later came to your house to try to rob you, nobody would fault you for pulling out of doing deals with them. You really got a get a better narrative going there.
Examples? Pipeline to the Pacific and opening trade up with Europe suggests otherwise.
Ramming pipelines through indigenous land in a middle of the climate crisis while doubling down on trade with Europe where economies are now collapsing is not the kind of development that I'm looking for. As I already stated, I want to see development of Canadian industry, clean energy, infrastructure, housing, and healthcare. He's doing none of that.
Where do you think most of that money is going to be spent? In Canada.
The actual question is WHAT that money will be spent on. Unlike you, I don't care about Canadian oligarchs stuffing their coffers.
I’m no partisan, but I do think he was the best of the options available to us.
That's a thought terminating cliche. Claiming you have to choose between two evils and there is absolutely nothing else people could be doing is precisely the sort of idiocy that got us where we are today. People could be protesting, organizing unions, doing general strikes, and taking real political action that affects business interests. Their profits going down is the only language they understand. Instead, we have people like you braying how we just have to vote harder.
Why does it matter that the jet deal predates Trump. Americans cancelled a whole bunch of deals, why is it that Canada can't reciprocate. He's very obviously not working to separate us from the US in any meaningful way. It's going to take effort like investing in domestic economy instead of trying to ramp up NATO spending to 5% of GDP while doing austerity. The lengths liberals will go to defend the incompetence of their party truly knows no bounds.
This is existing high performance hardware that you can buy. I'd love for there to be something equivalent built using RISCV, but there's not.
I love how you just keep digging even though it's obvious you're not fooling anybody here. Everybody knows exactly what you meant and that you're a racist scumbag. Go home little fash.
