IIRC all that was contracted out was primary training. Might even have made sense to weed out the wannabees and incompetents flying toy airplanes instead of polluting the ranks with that process. What we are seeing now is continuation of the Big Turd's campaign to de-militarize the military and make them into a "peace keeping" entity with the sole task of delivering social engineering goals of Liberalism. I can so well remember a time (IIRC '69) when "people from Ottawa" came onto our base and interviewed every francophone NCO - offering them a guaranteed commission if they wanted to "get with the programme" (if you ever wondered why there seems to be a disproportionate number of officers from Quebec - that is where it started). The goal was to make the armed forces express Big Turd's "just society" - in other words effectively destroy pretty much everything in Canada, leaving us just with his society. The other thing civvies probably don't realize is that the armed forces and its procurement policies are little different from the rest of Canadian civil services - i.e. how the Feds tap the $$$$ of the rest of Canada to prop up Quebec. The Little Turd is just following in at least one of his Daddy's footsteps (which Daddy remains to be seen).

1. This isn't an argument. 2. I'm not Michael.

I say good. Win the election and them pardon all of the rioters sent to solitary. Frankly...the Biden admin, the DOJ and FBI should be ashamed of themselves for this...disgusting abuse of the law.

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/canadian-air-force-ends-pilot-training The Royal Canadian Air Force announced earlier this month that it will retire its fleet of pilot training jets and put the program on hiatus. Canada’s aspiring pilots will now travel to Texas, Finland and Italy to earn their wings. So ends a proud tradition of pilot training that during the Second World War saw Canada train more than 130,000 Allied aircrew, earning it the epithet “the aerodrome of democracy” from then U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/why-poilievre-is-distancing-himself-corporate-canada The Conservative leader is ditching the traditional business luncheon circuits in Ottawa, Toronto or Montreal to speak directly to voters Traditionally, the Conservative Party of Canada, seen as the party closest to business groups, would meet with big banks and various chambers of commerce to get their message through to Canadians, said Dimitri Soudas, who was the director of communications to former prime minister Stephen Harper. Not anymore. Poilievre has been bypassing those events and instead speaking directly to blue-collar workers and union locals to get his message through. “We never did that (before),” said Soudas. On Friday, Poilievre told a full room of CEOs and lobbyists at the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade that he would be doing them no favours if he is elected prime minister and said that they would have to convince not just him, but Canadians, if they want to see policy changes implemented. He also slammed “utterly useless” corporate lobbyists in Ottawa, which he claimed are more interested in dining with cabinet ministers than working for people on the ground, and told corporate leaders to “stop sucking up” to the Liberal government, which he said is “doing the damage to our country.”

Again, pure lies. She certainly was not murdered. Established on video. Confirmed in court. She absolutely WAS part of the mob. After they smashed through the window she decided to be "the tip of the spear" and climb through it. She was literally climbing through the window when she was shot. You can watch it happen on video, you thick fark. Even the Republicans in the room hailed the officer as a hero for protecting them from the mob. It's just you fever-swamp loons who cling to these conspiracy theories and alternative realities.

A loser who got caught lying on another thread and is butthurt about it talks about clocks.

So you're confirming you're prepared to lie about it? Not surprising. You always do There's no point trying to discuss numbers with someone who can't even remember what the conversation was about and already screwed up the numbers several times. When your math, comprehension skills and memory exceed a grade 2 level then maybe we can talk

Yes, 100% - 60% equals 1. Your application of arithmetic skills are legendary around here. You must work for the government.

All this says is you are in a echo chamber and proud of it. You're complaining about the supposed lack of objectivity in "traditional trusted news sources" but everything here is overtly right of centre so it's clear "neutrality" isn't what you're looking for, but reinforcement of your preexisting beliefs.

No, the willingness of you chuds to cheer PP's suckholing to Quebec.

The Conservatives will blow it eventually, which is why we need term limits, at least for the PMO.

Sure if PP just gives it to them plus funding plus...plus plus. Of course he'll probably blame Trudeau for forcing this conclusion on him and the Conservative base will shrug, backpeddle, change the channel etc etc. It's hilarious.

He needs to quit sniffing glue. And maybe learn english.

Huh...you need to quit drinking.

1) Ashli Babbit was murdered 2) Ashli Babbit wasn't part of a mob that was bashing her way through anything. There's a video of her trying to get guys to stop smashing the windows, and trying to get the nearby police to stop people from smashing glass. They were literally just looking away while it was happening right beside them. 3) You're still the biggest liar and 1d10t on this forum. Robo and eyeball can't hold a candle to you.

Hockey Night in Canada generated good revenue. They should bring back Don Cherry before he dies. Once they fired him I stopped watching the CBC, including all HNIC except Leafs playoff games. I do NOT watch intermission commentary.

Another Death-cultist Mush-mouth...dead people are DEAD...GONE...WORM FOOD. Get in the game.

Why would you ask? The subject at hand is "do you have a legal right to misgender someone". A number of judges and tribunals have said in plain english you do not. There's no room for 'opinion' - the lawful authorities have ruled on that question. If you want to have a discussion about whether we SHOULD have the legal right to misgender people then we can discuss that but it is COMPLETELY a different subject. Again with the lies. I have been 100 percent clear on my stance - we do not have the legal right according to the judges- here's the judges. So when you claim' i've been unclear or don't have a position that is a lie. That's a verifiable fact. You have stated your opinion - your opinion is that we DO have that right. But you have refused repeatedly to provide any evidence of that, or show which constitutional or legal instrument grants us that right. For a person who CLAIMS that it's important to provide a source when you make a positive claim you sure avoid doing so. So it's not that you don't have an opinion Mike - its that i've demonstrated that your statement was wrong and now you're trying to turn it into some sort of 'opinon' based discussion to avoid having to cope with that simple fact instead of being a man about it and saying "oh - well i guess we don't have that right'.

Entirely wrong? It should be obvious why a CRTC vice chairman's assessment of the situation carries a lot more weight than yours. His base of support. By rights they should be demanding PP sell the Francophone portion of the CBC to Quebec if they want it and leave it to them provide their own funding. No it's isn't, it's perfectly clear that PP can do what you're suggesting. The issue is will his base and Quebec put up with it.

And the fact that the current Canadian government does this undermines its credibility and Canadian sovereignty at the same time, as why should I trust a government that appears to work against the interests of its citizens?

America is the major defender of freedom in the world. Are you suspicious of America.? I think if you look into it, you will find the Americans are far more transparent about what is going on than the Liberal/NDP government. We hear all the time about how the Canadians government keeps things secret under the pretext of national security even though it is baloney.

Clinton's use of a private email system and a private server violated federal law, specifically 18 U.S. Code § 1924, regarding the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or materials, as well as State Department protocols and procedures, and regulations governing recordkeeping. I you are secretary of state an SIPRnet server is required.

It doesn't matter to me that you don't care. Fu ck that. It's long past time we gave Ukraine fighter jets, long range bombers and cruise missiles.

I think there are some issues of scale here. We barely even have an air force, so running a tiny training program with antiquated aircraft for a barely airworthy fleet of ancient CF-18s was probably a waste of money...especially when we're transitioning to the F-35...sometime...eventually...probably.

1. Only since the Freedom Convoy and Poilievre criticism illustrated how owned and beholden our MSM is to government did CBC and some other mainstream news become more careful. They’re still full of radical left woke nonsense and should be defunded of taxpayers’ hard-earned money. 2. Wow, so now you’re a shill for the Communist Party of China? Incredible Many Toronto Star articles are socialist opinion pieces from woke Liberal-NDP sycophants. Conrad Black, a great Canadian intellectual, businessman, and truth teller created the National Post after buying Sun Media and the National Post. And you call yourself a conservative?

I understand wanting to find reputable sources, but the traditional trusted news sources are not as neutral as they used to be. News sections that purport to be objective often read like opinion pieces. The only credible major newspaper left in Canada is the National Post, mostly because its owners aren’t as dependent on or concerned about government funding. I used to think it was a conservative paper, but all popular political options in Canada are middle left to radical left now. Epoch Times is also quite good. My former favourite for more local Toronto and Ontario news, the Toronto Star, sounds too much now like the Marxist-Leninist rags handed out free when I was in university. For fair North American content I read Free Press on Substack, which is left leaning but very much open to a plurality of opinions. Rising on YouTube is also good but America-focused. For the Catholic perspective I read Lifesite News, though it’s very critical of the Francis Pontificate, and I can see why. Beyond that I mostly pull information from my daily Apple News feeds, which come from a variety of sources. YouTube is more fringe but quite censored. Rumble is even more fringe, but on those platforms you’ll find insightful interviews with people like Matt Taibi or Michael Shellenberger, who are serious journalists with important critiques.

IMO, that concept should be front and centre in the minds of everyone but unfortunately it takes time to gain the required experience. As it stands now though, I fear the see-saw effect resulting from future changes in government will serve to prolong the current agony as every new government campaigns on undoing the actions of their predecessors.. Only now (IMO) are liberal voters starting to see the predictable effects of getting what they voted for and they need more experience to drive these lessons home. Seems to me that narrative (as opposed to opinion) can only be refined by painful experience and I can't think of a better example than the madness behind defunding the police.

Do ya think we could convince Brandon to let Mel Blanc out?

No they're of the opinion PP will have to change the law so he can produce news programming for Quebec but not the ROC. The current law allows him to cut funding to the CBC but it will have to be changed so he can do what you said - run a little news service that's exclusive to Quebec. Sort of the way you say Trudeau can change a law and do whatever he feels like. Seems like common sense. I'm sure his base will get it.

Don't worry Michael, if people don't hate on you it means you're probably doing it wrong. Even Jesus and Abe Lincoln and Gandhi and MLK had haters. In fact, they were all murdered by their haters now that I think about it. Trump and Jordan Peterson are also loved and hated by many. So I guess who is right morally is all in the eye of the beholder. A world where we all agree means nobody is thinking, just complying.

How? Put the PMO in charge of the CBC's programming apparently. LMAO! It is the corporation's board of directors that determines how the funding it receives is spent. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-defund-cbc-change-law-1.6810434 "I'm not sure politicians really want to go down the [road of] ... 'We are going to give francophones better service with public money than we're going to give anglophones,"' he said. Menzies added that while he believes changes should be made to the CBC, "it's a lot more complicated than people think." "Preferring one piece of it over another piece, particularly linguistically, I think that opens a door you probably don't really want to open."

This is what Canadians want....until they stand up and make this an issue nothing will stop and our military will decline into nothingness...

That's not going to stop the dem's accusations. Everyone knows Stewart Rhodes had a ouija board - they were co-conspirators.

But he'd get in trouble! "IIIIIIII have no strings, as you can see.. (tumbles down the stairs)." Yeah - i think i saw that movie before. Oh brandon - we forget sometimes that you're not a real little boy....

Keep it up long enough and they'll get there. Jack up every economic sanction available and start applying them against Russia's allies too and get there even faster. Give up now and we might as well join them. You know what they say about the Dark Side of the Force, it's not more powerful it's easier.

No, I'm going with the obvious fact the Left doesn't see Black people as entirely human. They hold them to different standards than they do white people on issues like crime, and feel that they need the help of the white knights of the Left to push them forward because they clearly aren't capable of competing with white people (or Asians, I guess). Thus the lower requirements to enter university, and the requirement of business and government to hire them... or else face punishment. If you thought they were as good as white people, after all, you wouldn't be opposed to merit hiring.

We know what's happened to the MILITARY AID given to Ukraine. It was used to buy US military equipment. In most cases, it was DELIVERED in the form of MILITARY EQUIPMENT, NOT CASH. Duh You have NO IDEA what's happening, as USUAL. That's what happens when you watch FOS LIES.

Thanks for demonstrating exactly what I said is true. When you LOSE, you always resort to juvenile name calling. And this time you threw in a bunch of strawman arguments, which only illustrates your BANKRUPTCY. ㊙️ you don't get to tell me what I "like," and that's juvenile cause I already KNOW what I like. Duh ^That's a really LAME response, but gratuitous "TDS" is the best you got and is TROLLING.

The problem is that a lot of people want this. They think it's great to be able to silence people who have "bad" thoughts. Polling indicates that there's strong levels of support. So what the next gov't REALLY needs to do is abuse the law horribly. Anyone who disparages or discriminates against someone because they're conservative pays a 20,000 dollar fine or does jail time for each person they offend. Saying parents don't have rights is a hate crime and is genocide. Anyone calling someone a chud shall be hunted and shot on sight When people on teh left realize that anything they use against others will eventually be used against them - then they'll realize how important it is to respect EVERYONE"S rights.

Increasingly it seems that our society would be leaps and bounds ahead if our Feds stopped governing and drafting new legislation several years ago. All of these bills are so obviously bad that it would be better to have stopped passing bills altogether than to attempt even to modify these bills. Our next government needs to drop the activism and get the basics right.

Sounds good. Lets hope he does some serious damage to a government's capacity for being sucked up to. All he'd have to do is tweak the Lobbying Act. He could easily do this within a month. In fact there's nothing stopping him from proposing that in-camera lobbying be outlawed at any time. Force the Liberals to say no and defend the secrecy they and their corporate sponsors/buddies presently enjoy. If he doesn't then I'll be leaning towards concluding its a sham as well.

Proclaiming his innocence loudly as he stands up to his eyeballs in his own shit. Just like most jailhouse inmates.

At the end of their term they pardon a FEW. When has there ever been a mass blanket pardon? When did a previous President demand immunity for himself? When did a previous ever claim election fraud and insist he actually won for years and years? The very idea you support such a scumbag candidate proves your BS talk about freedom and democracy when you actually want a Dictator who makes singlehanded decisions, snaps his fingers and they are law.

Bankrupting themselves even faster. What's insane is caving to a bully. Fu ck him, the horse he rode in on and the 5th column quivering in anticipation of his victory.

That's the left. It's why your scuzzy digits are always pointed at somebody else.

The takeaway here, is that democrats are scumbag liars.

Again, your boy Putin started this war and if you have your way, even more people would die when he steamrolls over Ukraine, including god knows how many civilians. More blood for your blood god.

You worship a totalitarian lunatic warmonger who started this conflict, go f*ck yourself. More chaff for the thresher.

In ACTUAL "all fairness" to President Buden, he didn't come to Nashville to meet with a grieving family, his trip was a campaign stop and in that plan he stopped for ice cream. He met the grieving family afterward. Linking them together us like linking Donald Trump with a seismic reading of 4.0 in Anaheim, California when he visits on his campaign plan and after that meets a man who met a guy who met a man who claimed he was the same dirty.lowlife South American peasant be saw on the border the other day robbing a woman who claimed to be the friend of the friend of Congresswoman Britt who was just on her way to her home to offer her some homemade fresh tamales to get her through until the local Republican bribery check for her story gets there.
