Personally i think both of you should just get a room...either kiss and make up, or kill each other and save hundreds of pages of band width or put each other on ignore, saving the rest of us from scrolling pages upon pages to read the main post...Just a thought, putting some of my peacekeeping training to use...pistols at 10 yards, tonight at midnight, be there.

There is a lot Carney can do to spend money here in Canada, if he does it wisely, we could order new LAV 6 mk2 built in ontario with a whole slew of add ons and capabilities....it's a win win....once into the european markets, we could purchase systems and have them built here in Canada...just European orders for arms have locked up most manufactures up for at least 5 years, with long delivery times....and this is only going to get worse as more orders come in...take the Leopard II there are only 2 places that produce new hulls, for thousands of already built tanks and for all the new orders...it would be a win win for Canada replacing some of our lost auto sector jobs... We should also be looking cutting back on our new Irving frigates, and looking at say south Korea, of Japan, to build destroyers or cruisers for half the price and 10 times the capability....Same as subs...Use Canadian ship building to build more naval support ships, that we don't have right now, like under sea infrastructure protection or repair ships, deep diving / research ships, or sub rescue ships...or more armed icebreakers. or armed coast guard cutters...

"We acknowledge we live on X traditional territory. We're not going to leave of course, but it makes us feel better to say these things. while not having to actually do anything. "

The world has changed and we have little choice, unless we want Canada to be on our own proverbial island. The 3.5% to direct military spending is long overdue. The 1.5% spend to infrastructure is the exciting part that will be dual purpose. Both spend buckets lend themselves to more business, job and revenue creation. There obviously needs to be a proper accounting of projects and budget to come, but I see this as exciting for the country. It's just one more in your face reason why we need to get off our far loo long complacent asses and build our own self-reliant economy.

Say what you will about Bill Gates but he passes an awful lot of his money to many just causes. Praising Nazis not one of them.

Muskrat has killed more people in Africa by strangling the USAID programs than Mother Teresa ever saved. Like Bill Gates said. "the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children, is not a pretty picture."

quote Trump admin deports Asian immigrants to South Sudan in violation of court order, lawyers say Their lawyers say they learned of the deportation plan after receiving an abrupt notice Monday evening. By Tuesday morning, the men were already on a plane. A federal judge in Boston who has already forbidden the Trump administration from sending foreign nationals to so-called “third-party countries." | Francis Chung/POLITICO By Kyle Cheney 05/20/2025 04:50 PM EDT Updated: 05/20/2025 04:59 PM EDT The Trump administration has deported at least two immigrants to war-torn South Sudan in defiance of a federal court order, according to attorneys for the immigrants. The two men are originally from Myanmar and Vietnam and were being held in U.S. immigration custody. Their lawyers say they learned of the deportation plan after receiving an abrupt notice Monday evening. By Tuesday morning, the men were already on a plane along with as many as 10 other deportees, the lawyers said. The lawyers revealed these details in an emergency motion to a federal judge in Boston who hasalready forbidden the Trump administration from sending foreign nationals to so-called “third-party countries,” rather than their country of origin, without providing “meaningful” notice and a chance to raise concern about torture. That judge, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, has already intervened once before when the Trump administration seemed poised to deport people to Libya, a country that, like South Sudan, is mired in a humanitarian crisis. Murphy declared that summary deportations to Libya would “clearly” violate his earlier order. Lawyers for the Burmese man, identified by the initials N.M. in court papers, say he was originally slated to be on one of those flights to Libya, which they say were aborted amid national media and legal scrutiny. They also say the notice to N.M. about the deportation to South Sudan was provided only in English, apparently violating another requirement of Murphy’s order because N.M. has limited English proficiency. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment. South Sudan, a landlocked country in East Africa, gained independence from Sudan in 2011. It is the world’s newest widely recognized sovereign state. The country descended into civil war in 2013, causing tens of thousands of deaths and displacing millions of people. According to the CIA, the country remains plagued by ethnic violence and is facing a food crisis, with nearly two-thirds of the country’s 11 million citizens in need of humanitarian assistance. A March 2025 advisory from the U.S. State Department recommends that Americans not travel to South Sudan due to a high risk of violent crime and weak human rights. unquote Trump admin deports Asian immigrants to South Sudan in violation of court order, lawyers say - POLITICO Deporting anyone to a place like Sudan or Libya is an extremely grave violation of human rights. It is impossible to imagine any leader who claims to be civilized would do such a thing.

So, with the recent Supreme Court Ruling clarifying that the Trump Administration can deport people to third-party countries... keep in mind, Garcia had a deportation order. The only order he had protecting him was that he couldn't be deported back to El Salvador. So... guess what happens next? Looks like the Trump Administration can just deport him to Sudan instead. Good Riddance! I mean, maybe he wants to go back to El Salvador now. Self Deport... Supreme Court allows Trump to swiftly deport certain immigrants to 'third countries' The Trump administration sought to overturn a judge's ruling that imposed a legal process for deporting convicted criminals to places other than their countries of origin. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-allows-trump-deport-certain-immigrants-third-countries-rcna209419

Israel will never use them. Iran will launch them 5 minutes after they are made.

But that is an overwhelming mandate and victory in what is essentially a two-party system. I know I know, you really hate democracy when it means that people get to vote against the person you want

Bubkis? Do you expect me to fly right down there to call you names? Look zucchini-boy...I have no doubt you have no idea what you're talking about.

It looks to me like his mommy should be giving the loser himself a good walloping on the ass. Myself, i would certainly like to give the loser a good kick in his troll commie ass. 😁

How do you know that gravity will still be working then?? ^^^YoU hAvE NO PROOF!!! LOL i mean why not

Again... so what? Then leave them in El Salvador. We don't need gang violence and more gang criminality in America. You cowardly hide from words on a forum you clown. You can't even stand up to my calling out your BS here.

Psst...know what? There's a couple o' native sisters from Thunderbay that hang out at the wife's bar. We have had this conversation. They agree with @CdnFox...not you. The problem you people have is you can't buck common sense forever. Eventually, it bites you in the a55.

It’s truly amazing how much money Carney spends without producing any kind of budget.

Maybe it is the mushrooms, i can't really say, but on the other hand you have to ask why he responds to just you like he does....it could be love, but then again don't trust my judgement i'm in therapy as well.

What we need is at least 1 good ice-breaker.

Sorry, that's not normal, missing link. You'll have a hard time finding a conservative who wears a "social justice warrior hat 😉" like you.

Sorry, it's not my time to babysit, i was just posting a public service message...get a room or get a gun...deep down i think he likes you, a lot....maybe even to much....or maybe it's mushrooms, my therapist prescribed, i see things that may or may not be there...

Cry me a river, white ethnic cleansers. We can't save everyone, and the US has taken more than enough already. Go do, you know, the usual:

True we have already paid for 16 F-35, of which Canada does produce parts for as part of the contract we signed to become a partner. The Gripen has been involved in 3 competitions to replace our F-18's, and has placed last in all 3 of them, behind the super hornet, Eurofighter, french rafale, F-35. on the last competition it placed second only because the Euro fighters dropped out because we wanted to much in offsets, and their price tags were eye watering.....and Justin was pissed at Boeing because of a dispute with bombardier. Grippen does not have many of the capabilities the F-35 has, it is great in a knife fight , but modern air combat is happening at range, and with stealth, 2 of the things the gripen lacks...F-35 excels at stealth, EW, long range radar, sensors that allow it to engage at range, or drop weapons on target without waking up enemy radar. Historically look at the missions our F-18 have been asked to do over the last 20 years including those missions we were not able to do, and the F-35 covers it all...not to mention the airforce and all it's expertise has said it is the one they want to strap themselves into to go into combat 3 times in a row.......something Carney and other MP won't be doing....he may excell at banking , but i think he lacks the expertise of a fighter jock... Again hard to blame the US when we have allowed our own defence industry to wither on the vine due to lack of any interest in our own military. in the meantime the US defense industry build the best in most weapon systems. nobody can produce Aircraft or ships like the US does, some of our Army kits is built by the Europeans. like our leopards, Carl Gustafs anti tank,and a few others, but the rest all built in the US because it was the best at the time...It is one thing to have a lip on for the US or trump to be more correct....but not to buy our own soldiers the best equipment available is to let our soldiers down because of a grudge that will be gone in 3 years...and whatever equipment we do end up purchasing we will have for 40 years...or more...

Good thing the SC overruled your piece of shit lower judges - they all belong behind bars.

That is what he claims, a review of that evidence might prove the opposite, that the threat to his life there exists because of the gang activity he was involved in to harm others. Either way, that threat no longer exists with the new local government's efforts to restore law and order. That order was only a non-deportation order to El Salvador... We have an app where he can schedule and coordinate his own deportation so it is more convenient for him!

I get that you want to wrap your arms around the entire planet, but the country isn't big enough to take all 7 billion people. The best thing to do is ship his ass to El Salvador and fly his family over there with him. they can unite in his home country when he is released.

Well that is one of my other concerns. He will say, with some validity, but before we spend all of this money we need to study where to best spend it. You don't just go out to Canadian Tire and buy a hundred billion dollars worth of military hardware But then he will higher consultants and third parties and blow 25 billion dollars a year for the first few years on his buddies to do studies that will never be acted upon. When he gets out of politics he'll be rewarded with nice big fat directorships where he gets massive amounts of money for doing nothing And this is the pattern we've seen with the liberals. He has already increased third party consultant spending to $25 billion this year, and with no budget to live up to he can easily slap another $25 billion dollars on top of that And we will wind up with egg on our face internationally, we still won't have much of a military, our economy will have suffered as a result, and he'll write off into the sunset pocketing tens of millions of dollars a year for having stole our money I find that mildly irritating

Iran and NoKo were openly working on ICBMs and nukes when Obama was president, with money Obama gave them. "But Twumpy!!!!!" 😂 1) Iran has Uranium enriched far past what they need for use in any civilian capacity, they do did that in a fortified bunker 300 feet underground, and they make ICBMs and nukes. Connect the dots you f'n ret4rd. 3) The US gov't doesn't even share sensitive information with the Dems' Hamas supporters in congress. Not sharing top-secret info with the US gov't is smart now. Are you accusing me of quoting CNN or CBC? That's low, Beave. It's akin to calling someone a pedophile. Would you look at that f-head...? At the same time that Russia started amassing troops on Ukraine's border, Iran told the world to f-off and started enriching Uranium to 60%. What else happened in early 2021, dummy?

You were a CWO ,in an elite formation within the Air force, time to step up Chief...take the first step...thats what leaders do.

Everything that you've ever posted here has been a lie, stupid, or pure cultist trash. You can't even admit that "being the chair of the board when moving Brookfield was voted on" equals "playing a role in moving Brookfield's HQ". If Carney hands the keys to the HoC to Trump the next time he's "humming The Star Spangled Banner in the oral office" you'll say "He played no role".

If the $100B was for Ukraine, Gazans, to fight global warming in a muslim country, or to relocate some vampire death cult here we'd find it, but because it's for Canada's benefit, just consider this another LPOC promise that's doomed to remain unfulfilled. It's yet another fake silverback moment from Mr tits-down, arse up. We'll spend hundreds of millions on consultations, there will be fights in the HoC about what to spend it on, cronies of the LPOC's down-sawth cuzzins - Demmies - will have some money showered on them for nothing but no one will care and CBC will ignore it, and at the end of the day we'll get a handful of 2nd-rate fighters and some used equipment from countries like France and Britain that's right at the end of its combat viability, with ongoing issues that will keep it on the sidelines most of the time.

I agree , but we are well past needing to get our sh*t together, almost all our major weapon systems are in desperate need of replacing, not to mention all the capabilities we have already lost, along with the experience to operate them. even if we went into crises' mode it would still take a decade to catch up... Carney talks a good game about building military equipment here in Canada, but we have let our military industrial complex erode more than our military has...not to mention how costly it is to build stuff in this country, just look at our frigate program and how prices have ballooned, The UK built an aircraft carrier for the price of just one of our frigates. S.Korea is building cruisers for only 2.5/ 3 bil a piece... What our military needs is new equipment , not providing Canadian jobs, or demanding offsets from companies to spend equal amounts of money in Canada....or lastly having some politician pick military equipment out...kind of like sending your wife out to buy your power tools...The F-35 is a prime example we could have been flying them today, if we had just let the politicians set the amount of funding available and let the Military pick the equipment it needs.....politicians have a poor record on buying terrible equipment, books have been written about all of it and yet it has not changed....we continue to buy from the cheapest bidder, or company that has brided our government with the most offsets..

Couldn't agree more.... with both the more important issues/priorities to be dealt with and a reset of how we educate the younger generation. Again, not losing sleepover this nor do I care one way or the other if the voting age changes. Voicing an opinion is all I'm doing.... I've lost touch with our education system since mine left a lot of years ago. Grandchildren haven't even started yet but to your points......I've been saying that for a few decades now. Teach children what is truly relevant to life...finances, business, careers, civics, etc....along with the critical thinking and development skills already being taught.

My point is that it's time we get our sh*t together and get spending on our defence and infrastructure for our national security and economy. We have little choice in today's world or the state of our country and it's time to get in the game. It's what I'm sure you complained about when it wasn't happening and am sure it's what you'll complain about when it is. My political biases are not such that I hope he fails, whereas yours clearly are. To each their own....

Perhaps he will, or maybe he will stay on who knows...I'm glad to see all your interest in the conservative party, maybe your a closet conservative...Or maybe you should be concerned about your party the NDP which is a train wreck at the moment, no real leader, no party status, no nothing really.... just empty suits in a few empty chairs....

With all the problems we face in this country today, i don't see this as an issue we should be tackling right now....I also don't think our current education system spends a whole lot of time with civics that affect our nation, province etc...more time is put into other large lobby groups agendas like LGBTQ, or the palestinian plight etc.. I disagree with who better experts than the the current core we have now. I think our education system as a whole needs to be reset, instead of concentrating on issue that effects a small portion of the population and concentrate on real education, or real world skills like personal finance, money management, picking a relevant career path, issues that effects all Canadians.

Many of the Palestinians fled due to the 3 bands of roving Jewish terrorist gangs: the Irgun, Haganah, and Levi. You see, I have EVIDENCE (link) and you have NONE. They want revenge for the theft of THEIR LAND. No EVIDENCE ^here, either.

I thought Carney said that removing internal trade barriers will mean up to 200 bil more in GDP....And that bringing to life more National projects will also bring growth and add to future GDP...besides a lot of these social programs could be combined or trimmed down, even our welfare programs could be trimmed or combined, to save, Meanwhile in Europe they are preparing for war, as Russia builds it forces up along NATO borders, countries like the UK, France, Germany, are investing hundreds of billions before the new 5 % marker was introduced....they are in panic mode...here in Canada we are still on holidays, yes we announced 9 bil more in defence which will barely move any needles....if you look at where that money is going to go....Can you tell how excited the CDS is....not vary she knows this is mostly political and will anything change, she is as skeptical as the rest of the military is...which is very skeptical the forces have seen this before...over and over again....now maybe carney is going to fix all that, but if i was a betting man the odds are not very good...

That's true. You were wrong before he got here

He's become an apple turnover . . . sadly.

The Carney is just cowing to Trump again. Elbows Up.

The lDIOT ^here is the one who has ONLY ^this to post. No one cares what you believe is "tiringly stewpid."

He will likely remain in a place with tasty ripe apples.

Are you still whining about the Indians?

Enriching U is ONLY the first step. I know they wanted to maintain ambiguity to dissuade being attacked. But now that's been proven to not work, they will likely covertly build nukes. Pin it on Israel proving they need some.

So now you admit they are building nukes?

So stop worrying about it, above all else stop being so ideological about it. AFAIC everything that's most fùcked up in the world stems from stubbornly unrelenting right vs left conflict over EVERYTHING. We owe it to our kids to bury our hatchets in one another's heads ourselves now. They'll be too busy fighting over potable water, cooler climes and whatever jobs AI feels is beneath them.

Yeah, and you are a cheap Russian troll working from a mental ward.

Agreed. Annexing territory through military invasion is illegal under international law and should never be accepted or legitimized. The West should support and arm Ukraine until Russia decides to leave.

We don't have to accept any such thing. This is not Slovakia and the Czech Republic which peacefully divided into 2 different republics. Russia has invaded Ukraine.
