We're approaching summer, when NOBODY pays attention to politics unless a serious situation arises. But then we're into the fall when people do pay attention, and whatever's happened with CUSMA will have happened. And people are really going to start to watch if the economy is still poor and they're still paying higher prices and crime is still an iissue etc etc And at that point it'll feel like an 'old' gov't, the 'i just got here' excuse will be done. And at that point i think we'll start to see some serious dipping in popularity and voter intentions.

So what has changed in the last 10 years, that would force our nation to start taking our defense and defense commitments seriously... For now, Canada has a long history of being a defense lagard, and some how Carney comes along and poof spending on defense is now cool, cutting other social programs cool, you know what they say, if it is to good to be true it isn't... actually there is 18 globally, 8 of them are from western nations....all would give gripen a run for price, and performance... Funny you mention price, if that was truly a concern why even buy a second fighter....why just purchase more F-35's save on logistics tail, price, and compatibility with most of NATO...both European jets are more plentiful than gripen meaning more spares, and more R&D funding, more compatibility...meeting NORAD integration, is a BS answer, any aircraft could easily meet those standards...the real reason was Canada was looking for to much in offsets at the time....we got to greedy...the point was to buy a fighter not enrich liberal voters... Super hornet was the liberals pick until the mix up with Boeing and Canada's crown prince of planes....what has changed with the hornets...nothing which aircraft is better...is a matter of opinion....both are 4.5 gen with the F-18 coming out ahead in more categories than the gripen, the f-18 has a better price point , Canadian air men already familiar with type, the list goes on and on....the Gripen is a political buy, and no one knows why, our Air force has already spoken on the topic.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:4.5-generation_jet_fighters

I strongly urge Albertans to vote in favour of independence. I favour provincial rights.

Yes, exactly.

Bread? Hunger? Europeans fought on religion 1600s. Then they fought on "nationality" late 1700s. Heck, IMHO, August 1914 was a collapse of civilization. ==== Identity? We Canadians seem to get along.

By every account that I've heard: -Carney is an arrogant, Enron, smartest guy in the room. -the federal Liberals chose him because Trudeau Jnr was a loser

Because a lot changes in 10 years. Bombing Germany in 1930was crazy talk. In 1940 it was a must-do. In 1950 it was crazy talk again. Well that’s changed now. There aren’t half a dozen alternatives realistically there was rafale and typhoon, both very expensive and likely limited economic benefits compared to gripen. IIRC they were disqualified or withdrew because they couldn’t meet NORAD integration requirements and typhoon didn’t like the industrial offsets requirement There was also the super-hornet was deemed leas advanced than gripen.

There's something going on. Today even CTV did a fairly long session about Alberta separation which showed Poilievre in a favourable light. This was a 180 degree about face from their usual negative nonsense.

Sadly it looks like the mail in ballot scam put a marxist mayor in charge in Los Angelas. Just like the third world communists, they are rigging elections in LA. Sick stuff

Meanwhile back in reality new missile strikes mark day 100 of the war that this thread claimed ended in less than 90 days and what Trump claimed would last 4-5 weeks but was win within the first few days. Meanwhile Trump’s latest gaslighting attempt is to tell Americans that on the campaign trail he never pledged to avoid starting foreign wars or immediately bring down inflation if elected.

This is you LMAO:

As an older person, I would not live in Manhatten. Carly Simon lives in Connecticut.

It's not even a Federal case. No "Federal climate" involved.

Many years of experience in the DoJ dealing dealing Felony cases. Duh

Well if you're talking about net favorability then you're actually still a little high apparently. Carney has been about 30% net favorable but the latest Abacus polling shows him at about 21% net favorable. The liberals have also lost support for voting and more people are seeing the country as going in the wrong direction. Honestly I don't think it's that people supported Carney as much as they're just not thinking about him and saying that they support them based on the fact that they voted for him But in the last few weeks the economy and several other issues have been forced into the media quite a bit and people are starting to take a look at them and they're not liking what they see. In some ways it doesn't matter because he's got his technical majority and probably won't have to face the voters anytime soon. but i think that when people actually look at what he's doing they disapprove. I think the "approval" is based on the fact that most people aren't paying attention right now if it's not in their face.

Following your logic: Why do young women prefer to live in urban areas?

You mean other countries that have allotted serious defense budgets to operate and upgrade them...Canada has never really took defense serious for decades...in fact i remembered the liberals voters crying that 19 bil on 88 F-35 was crazy talk...That past liberal government actually campaigned on canceling the whole project...and now today there is talk of bring in 2 different sets of combat aircraft...perhaps someone can explain the liberal logic in all of this...The next question of all the modern aircraft out there why the gripen ...i could list a 1/2 dozen better suited gen 4.5 aircraft that could out perform the gripen on a bad day... Gripen E/F are not abundant in NATO, in fact Sweden has ordered 60 with possibly another 10... all the other Gripen operators have c/d models which are gen 4 at best....and even then there is not an abundant of them....once again it raise the question of why the gripen E/F ..and why not a much better aircraft that is "ABUNDANT" like the Euro fighter.... But it does not have air to air refueling....nor is its radar 360 degrees coverage, but rather only 300 degrees....while the E-7 has air to air refueling , much larger radar with longer range, and it covers 306 degree even while turning.....it sounds like a political buy...not one designed for the military...and to get all this in a global eye, it will be back to the drawing board, as this stuff just can't be slapped on and expected to work.....much like the other paper global 6500 aircraft that was purposed for the P-8 competition. Either way our government decision are all over the map....

Soooo WCM . . . . . is Vassey still on your sh!t list?

who recommended this guy, and are they still working in that department...no fact checkers in the liberal party....lets put a KKK member in charge of the black lives matter organization.....some times you can't fix stupid, it needs to be taken out back and put down....No wonder Carney yells a lot...

So what your saying here is that incompetence in Justin's looney liberals was just Justin that was incompetent, his staff were elite ....because Carneys liberal MP are the same as Justin MP's... with a few exceptions....and they could not organize a gang bang at the local hoe store... And as for the elite performer...i'm sure he thinks he is, but that's not what others in the many jobs he has had are saying that have worked with him....

Seems appropriate: Lose a professional football team, gain a monument to woke cultism.
