    Canadian Federal Election Outcome October 20th (or 27th?), 2025.

    Liberals will have public sector support and those are the people who get out to vote so maybe but I won't bet on it. Quebec will continue on with the Bloc. What might be interesting is having 50 seats controlled by a western interest and would love to see Alberta come up with something.

    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    Agree, drone warfare appears to be the future. Curious if they run nitrous on those things (F47)?

    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    News of the US awarding a contract to Boeing for the F47 is surprising given the F35 issues and also raises the question of why buy the F35 if there is a F47?

    Sharks bigger than school buses once roamed seas, feasting on huge meals

    One thing for sure is the Canadian Census is far from representative. Every year there was good work and my income exceeded $100,000 I received a census form the following year. Now close to 7 years since I filled one out. Just more government B.S.

    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    Canada and the Scandinavian countries would make excellent trading partners given our socialist ideologies and geographical proximity. They have done a good job in terms of public sector efficiency that we could benefit from implementing. Somewhat odd is that I can not access the Nasdaq Norsk...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    It's going to get worse not better given the Canadian Caucasian birth rate.

    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    Ever hear of Belarus farm equipment? Basically a Mig in disguise with a swather attachment. Some Lada parts are still available as well.

    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    One of the disadvantages of the F35 is the need for a designated runway while the Gripen has the ability to takeoff and land on public roads if need be. Obviously the whole matter is very political.

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    Still think moving the Capitol to Calgary would be a good start toward a rebuild. It's never going to happen in Ottawa. Also like how Patty Hajdu has been named Minister of Indigenous Affairs being that she is a Finlander from Thunder Bay whose claim to fame was being homeless and then getting...

    Canada 51st State

    What they really should do is call us states 50 - 62 and just convert the provinces over. That way once they have broken the union they can pick and choose.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Maybe plant less canola this year. Sounds like it is going to take a hit.

    Burning Money - $4+ Trillion USD So Far

    Any chance they hold the line on the public sector raises that are tied to inflation coming April 1 ? Money was originally a tool designed to facilitate trade and now it is something we hoard to ourselves. Inflation is just a fancy term they thought up that describes nothing imo

    pope deteriorating

    Hearing good news for Pope Francis although clearly at 88 a full recovery is not realistic. For the most part I have found him to be a good Pope and wish him well in his remaining years.

    Fractured Nation | The Pillaging of Western Canada

    Great heading for the thread Ron. Pierre Berton would be proud. You should consider running as a Green party candidate. :)

    Burning Money - $4+ Trillion USD So Far

    Any headwind theses days is magnified x 10 with algorithms taking the opportunity to drive the market down. Remember they are making money as they do so. This appears to be a major gale in the making though and will hurt good companies that could go to zero. Small guy will take the hit.
