    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    Hmmm…U.S. F-35 fighter jets were available to fly only half the time in 2024 due to maintenance shortcomings by Lockheed Martin (LMT.N), a report from the Defense Department's Office of the Inspector General said. The availability of F-35 aircraft in 2024 was 50%, 17% below the minimum...

    Trumpian Trump Class Battleships

    And there’s probably gonna be some low-(or not so low) tech, comparatively low cost, something or another coming down the pipe, defence against these things, because technology and innovation accelerates dramatically during times of war it seems, but we’re gonna have to wait and see. Something...

    Trumpian Trump Class Battleships

    Like the Yamato, but larger, faster and “100 times more powerful” than any before, and covered in gold leaf…well not covered, but tastefully accentuated like a golden fleet of huge targets navel supremacy for 1000 years, etc…& I’m still waiting for someone to make the connection and start...

    Trumpian Trump Class Battleships

    In hindsight, this is so Venezuelan Greenlandish. Sort of like a modern future Panama Canal? President Donald Trump announced on Monday plans to build a new “Trump-class” of battleships — larger, faster and “100 times more powerful” than any before — aimed at cementing U.S. naval dominance...

    Greenland

    There’s already a line for something that’s not for sale. Trump tried to buy Greenland during his first presidential term. Both Denmark and the Greenlandic government rejected the 2019 proposal, saying: "Greenland is not for sale." Donald Trump has sparked a fresh row with Denmark after...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Of coarse it is. (…& Russia, but that’s a no go at this point) (YouTube & The real reason Venezuela matters)

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    I’m still sort of leaning towards Trump, trying to inflate the value of a barrel of oil, as it sort of makes sense in a weird and twisted way…as if Saudi Arabia was trying to choke out western oil production by opening the gates on their product production…Trump inflating the cost of oil and...

    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    We had street cars (trolleys) & buses that were electric in Regina in the 1940’s, but they weren’t battery powered. Check out the skyline. My mother would tell me stories about the shepherds crook above the buses that connected to the powerlines jumping off, and the bus would just stop…& the...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Well, they’re not seizing tankers bound for England, or America, etc…China is the biggest buyer of Venezuelan crude, which accounts for roughly 4% of its imports. http://apple.news/AYf7wnDLqRkqUb35jZpapLg But…but maybe China is a secondary thing too (?) and the goal is to just increase the world...

    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    Fast forward to today and Edmonton has 60 of these buses in its fleet of 1,000. In December 2023, it was reported that only one quarter of these were in working order due to a range of problems. The company that built them, Proterra, filed for bankruptcy. Edmonton joined in on the bankruptcy...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    So, does Venezuela, in its own territorial waters, have to seize 3 (or 6, or 9?) Chevron crude oil tankers to trade 1 for 1 for the oil tankers America has seized, with 1/2 a dozen held in reserve for future American seizures? What’s the answer with respect of Venezuela’s own sovereignty?

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Huh… not finding any confirmation that they’ve (the U.S.) actually ‘caught’ a third oil tanker. The U.S. Coast Guard is pursuing another non-U.S. tanker helping Venezuela skirt U.S. sanctions, U.S. official says. The pursuit of the (assumably not U.S.) tanker, which was confirmed by a U.S...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Trudeau announces Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia
