    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

    Fractured Nation | The Pillaging of Western Canada

    #1 move of a good politician is to steal a headline or two.

    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.

    Would be like walking without feet

    A literal argument over spilt milk.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Nothing disappears money faster than a reverse split of an investment share. Banks love it. Peons must remain peons

    Trump 2.0

    What would the educators do if they did? And this is not to say there can't be private academies and universities. Education is a huge industry. Plus it is a trickle up business where everyone has to make more money than the rung below. Just as good as politics with the holidays and all...

    Trump 2.0

    There is a lot of tax payer abuse built into the public education sector. Education in Canada seems to be a provincial affair. Ontario spends $25 billion / year on public education. Everyone thinks and they want them to believe they are doing it on behalf of the students who after graduation...

    Trump 2.0

    I like this one. "President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as Thursday aimed at scrapping the Education Department, and Secretary Linda McMahon would be directed to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and...

    Ottawa to remove many federal exceptions from Canadian Free Trade Agreement

    You don't have to watch for too long before understanding where the term "Mother Goose" came from and I agree they can hold their own against almost anything. Muskie are one that can give them trouble and probably get half of the young each year on our lake.

    Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

    I would call Jagmeet Singh horrible if i had to give it a name but he has a good game going knowing the influx of East Indian immigrants will all be supporters of his BS causes and eventually give him the votes he needs to transform Canada into his vision of working from home and being...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Never put it together before but Napoleon at war in 1812 along with the British / American war of 1812 must have seemed like total chaos and end of the world as we know it type gloom and doom at the time. No telling what the Chinese were up to. Factor inflation and it brings us to where we are...
