Just asking, if he dies right now obviously Harris become president. Does that mean she gets the nomination, or is there a super quick primary to nominate a candidate?

That’s only for private, money making companies.

As more and more traditional media die, the more we need CBC. It’s only becoming more important.

I’m reading about the German type 214 and think that’d be the frontrunner, especially since it looks like they allow it to be built by the purchasing country. Thoughts?

Pretty sure Poland got a deal to manufacture them in Poland. They want to make their own industry too.

The new fleet of submarines will be conventionally powered and capable of operating under ice.

Um knowing nothing about Arctic logistics, I’m surprised at this. I thought they’d want nuclear powered. But maybe this is posturing before trying to get in on the aukus deal.

US military sales are not limited to subs. Doubtless they want to sell more planes and everything else. You can look up graphs of US arms exports, it’s a lot.

Barrie to Montreal.

Doesn’t count as military spending then.

For anyone wondering why Canada is not eager for military spending, it’s because very little goes into our own Canadian economy. We don’t have much military industry (and we’re not big enough to ever get much) so most of the money spent goes to buying foreign equipment. It’s like a permanent export of cash. Planes, rifles, even ship building - we can build the ship, but then we buy all the electronics and weapons systems from someone else.

And not to sound too crass, but for what reason? No one is going to invade Canada because of geography. The US? We have no chance anyway. We could leave NATO and pretty much disband our military entirely. The only reason we’re in NATO and have a military is to help others. Again, at extraordinary expense because we don’t have our own domestic military industry.

Hopefully they’re just playing it safe. The road out is 256 km of trees which could be cut off.

Are they? I think media is just doing what media does, play things up.

email on Wednesday morning from Tim Hortons that recapped all the prizes he won this year and it included one he didn’t recognize: a 2024 Tracker Targa 18 WT boat and trailer, which retails for $39,995 US (about $55,000 Cdn) — the only one available to participants.

A recap email. This is going to be fun in court.

So at what point does/did it reach death spiral?

Coal is so friggin dirty it’s not even the same league. The world should have done away with in the 70s.

Of course it does, don’t know why you think I don’t.

I prefer our Canadian news. “This man paid for his healthcare. What went wrong?” Actual line.

Doubt they’d accept a Venezuelan one either.

99 tweets. Read the first few, is it worth reading them all?

How was he exposed?

Well yes they want an American company to do it instead.

Not a bad idea actually. Just have to convince Musk that there are some Truth Social secret files that, uh, are important for, uh, that show gubment bad!

He’s just denying reality at this point.

Lol means words and “minor action” it was not. Well we can see you for what you are, trying to downplay reality. Cheers.

So you agree it was violent and not peaceful? Lol whoops.

Peaceful protest it was not.

Give them all our tanks.

“The High Cost Free Parking”

Never seemed feasible to begin with.

Must be comparing it to one store towns.

Don’t do that either.

LPT: Don’t buy anything to chase after happiness or good feelings.

Under attack? More like invited and encouraged. That was the problem.

It was like a mini The_Donald for awhile. Mods there want to keep control of a potential propaganda channel.

Lol it means someone else has distribution rights. But way to jump to conspiracy theories.
