you did have, until the Laurentian elite ruling class deliberately dismantled it in the name of socialist pacifism now you are at the mercy of the Fenians at the gates just desserts

Canada has become totally dependant upon the Neoliberal Globalist order now that said system is collapsing into disorder things are moving way faster than Canada is capable of keeping up with on the bright side ; souls are forged by crucible ; hard times breed better men every day is a gift therein ; when you walk with the Nazarene

the Laurentian Elites secretly welcome the tariffs as it gives them license to do what they want to do anyways which is to subsidize and by those means centrally plan the Canadian economy from Ottawa

U.S. controls key equipment on new warships, putting Canada in a potential 'hostage' situation over military procurement Originally the command management system of each new warship was supposed to be Canadian-made and under the full control of the Canadian government. David Pugliese • Ottawa Citizen Published Feb 14, 2025 The United States controls many of the key systems onboard Canada’s new warships, allowing the Americans to hold this country hostage over future upgrades or even the provision of spare parts, defence industry officials warn. Taxpayers are spending as much as $80 billion on a new fleet of Canadian Surface Combatants to be constructed at Irving Shipbuilding. The heart of each of the warships is the command management system, which controls weapons, radars and other intelligence-gathering equipment. Originally that high-tech system was supposed to be Canadian-made and under the full control of the Canadian government. But that was switched out for made-in-the-U.S. technology called Aegis, allowing the Americans full control and oversight over the supply of parts, modifications or future upgrades, industry officials confirm. “This is what happens when you exclude Canadian companies: You find yourself potentially being held hostage,” explained Alan Williams, the former procurement chief at the Department of National Defence. “We don’t control the (combat management) system; the Americans do. Who knows what they are going to demand from us?” Other Canadian defence industry officials acknowledged the same concerns. They asked not to be named as they did not want to jeopardize ongoing contracts with the federal government. The U.S. government already controls much of the technology used by the Canadian military, but previously that was not seen as an issue as the Americans were viewed as close allies. DND has previously been concerned about U.S. control over key defence technology. In 2010, when the Halifax-class frigates were being modernized, the department insisted on installing the newly developed Command Management System (CMS) 330. The development of CMS-330, costing millions of dollars, was financed by Canada, giving it total control over the technology, Williams said. In addition, the government stipulated that other key systems on the Halifax-class ships come from companies from Canada, Sweden, Israel, Germany and the Netherlands. When the Canadian Surface Combatant team was unveiled in November 2017, Lockheed Martin Canada, a subsidiary of the U.S. defence giant, highlighted that its proposal included the CMS-330. The firm pointed out that the maximum focus was to get Canadian content on the new warships. But, once Lockheed Martin won the contract, it dumped the CMS 330 and substituted Aegis. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/u-s-controls-key-equipment-on-new-warships-putting-canada-in-a-potential-hostage-situation-over-military-procurement

Trump is only the first wave of this tsunami bear in mind how the Neoliberal Globalist trading system works America buys up all the surplus exports from China, Asia, Europe, Canada & Mexico except this means that America buys more than it sells, ultimately resulting in a $35 trillion USD debt so in the face of this hollowing out, America has begun to refuse to buy up all the surplus America is going to tax that surplus, one way or the other, to pay for its debt it's going to persist beyond Trump, the Democrats will inevitably jump on the bandwagon in fact, the more refined post Trump versions of this are far more threatening to the likes of Canada

if America is going down, that will drag China, Europe & The Asia Pacific down as well global deflationary spiral bad as the Great Depression was in America, it was actually worse in Canada tho I am aware of Canada's priggish sense of sneering self superiority wherein they dream that America gets its comeuppance while somehow Canada gets away unscathed it's all part of the Canadian Disease ; a pathology

if America is going down, Canada is going down with us

the White House has come to avenge the Truckers Justin Trudeau called the MAGA Republicans out for their support of the Truckers now the MAGA Republicans are going to teach the Government of Canada what it is like to get bullied "we'll seize your bank accounts, Canada, get a taste of your own medicine"

if Wayne was Prime Minister, Donald Trump would be sucking up to Canada right now but because you Liberal NDP Commies are in charge ; it's a trade war save us, Wayne Gretzky, even from ourselves in the end

Charles Company Sergeant Major's PT with MWO Dave Preeper if you fell to the rear, Dave Preeper was waiting to pounce "just look at'chas, you're WEAK !

it's not really a fitness contest it's all about aggression we were looking for who was most likely to go over the top when the whistle blew who was going to close with and destroy the enemy with maximum speed violence & aggression who was resolved to kill & die for the Regiment, Colours & Commander-in-Chief ? and in terms of what broke candidates ? it wasn't how far nor fast they could run, nor about how many push ups they could do it was sleep deprivation which made people quit most of all after a week without sleep, even the simplest tasks become difficult, it's an exponential weight upon your shoulders, can't focus, can't concentrate you start to hallucinate, becoming detached from reality, all you can think about is sleep it's psychological torture at the end, you are just putting one foot in front of the other ; keep going, don't quit

it's all in the mind as an instructor at Battleschool, I've seen many super fit athletic types fall to the side of the road and quit I've seen many out of shape pack a day smokers keep going no matter what we threw at them it's all about esprit de corps ; how bad do you want to be just another face in the ranks of the thin red line ?

the Pentagon has the same problem ; 70% of US military personnel are overweight

it's not going to be long before Americans will be declining to come to Canada at all in fear that they would be attacked in the streets without their guns to defend themselves Mark Norman: Canada's relationship with the U.S. can't be saved We are under attack and must act accordingly Mark Norman, Special to National Post Published Feb 14, 2025 https://nationalpost.com/opinion/mark-norman-canadas-relationship-with-the-u-s-cant-be-saved

none of these things are realistically going to happen in Canada

Canadian pipe dreams are hardly blowback against Trump it would take Canada decades to build enough pipelines & heavy crude refineries to replace the American market

incorrect there was no Canadian Army in the First World War Canada raised "Overseas" units to serve in the British Imperial Army under British Command the largest formation which Canada formed, was The Canadian Corps that was however not a Canadian Army, rather a Corps within British 3rd Army

and as they did we count Newfoundland Battle Honours as Canadian Battle Honours ever since more to the point ; it was all the same British Army from Ypres to Suvla BaY your attempts to make a distinction without a difference is typically Canadian ahistorical nonsense

who would suffer hardship gladly for a Post National State with no core identity ? so called "Canada" is rightly reaping what it has sowed the Fenians read the (Neo)Liberal press releases and took it seriously just desserts

fighting for the British Crown in the British Imperial Army the Canadians of 1914 were staunch British Imperialists the Canada of today indicts them as "White Supremacist Settler Colonials committing Genocide"

The Royal Newfoundland Regiment landed at Gallipoli https://www.heritage.nf.ca/first-world-war/articles/newfoundland-regiment-at-gallipoli.php

the Canadian public in 1914 was far more naive they had enjoyed a century of peace they were living in a completely globalized British Empire they were the most prosperous, technologically advanced civilization in history they had no idea what they were getting themselves into and by the time you are in the trenches, it's too late to get out of it then
