they're all the same, it's all the same unserious Laurentian Elite political class, bear in mind that the Conservatives are hardly a monolith, Doug Ford has no relationship with Pierre Poilievre, Captain Canada Doug Ford is rooting for the Liberals -
not just military, its been a decline of state power overall, political, economic, diplomatic, industrial & military, Canada had made itself into an American protectorate deliberately, why blame Donald Trump ?
-
yeah, okay sure, Canada has literally dismantled its own armed force, beyond the point of no return, while the UK has thermonuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, armoured divisions, keep blowing sunshine up your own asses about how you have kept pace with the allies, Canada
-
that was British North America fighting for the British Empire, this is not that Canada now, my great grandfather who fought in every battle from Second Ypres to Mons, to include standing atop Vimy RIdge would rightly condemn Canada now as being an utterly unmartial Bolshevik lunatic asylum
-
the British Army has never been about size, the British Army was dwarfed by the continental armies on the Western Front in both World Wars, in the event of war now, with the Americans pulling out, the British Army would be the tip of the spear for NATO Geroyim Slava
-
concept of operations, one Carrier Strike Group then the other carrier is supports the United Kingdom Amphibious Force with Marine & Army Helicopters
-
never mind that Canada could buy nuclear attack submarines from BAE Systems for $4 billion CAD each, bear in mind that the purpose of these Canadian Destroyers is only to escort American Carriers, the Canadians are only buying these Lockheed Martin Destroyers to appease Washington, at almost twice the price of buying a British SSN would which would be actual power projection for Canada, rather than being Washington's token force tag along little buddy
-
you vastly underestimate the benefit of Britain maintaining her warship building capacity, so stop complaining about the aircraft carriers & nuclear submarines already, these are the strategic arms of decision upon the high seas, Britain's only ace in the hole, same as it ever was don't be like a Canadian ; penny wise and pound foolish
-
same old, same old Canada, what will actually happen is that the program will simply collapse under the weight of its own boondoggle Canada will end up with the three most expensive Destroyers in the world, and that's it the three Destroyers to replace twelve Frigates, the collapse of the Canadian Armed Forces continues unabated, regardless of Donald Trump, in fact, Canada is simply proving Donald Trump right ; Canada is not capable of being an independent country
-
it's more than what the Royal Navy paid for the Queen Elizabeth class, the Royal Navy purchased two Queen Elizabeth class carriers for $12 billion CAD that's $6 billion cad per aircraft carrier, so each Canadian Destroyer costs $1 billiion CAD more than a British Aircraft carrier,
-
the British Army puts the Canadian Army to shame, the Australian Army puts the Canadian Army to shame, the New Zealand Army puts the the Canadian Army to shame, Canada is by far and away the softest weakest link in the "Commonwealth"
-
as if Canada has been fostering its ties to Britain all this time ? in Canada, "British" is decried as being White Supremacist Settler Colonial Genocide, Canada has proclaimed itself the world's first Post National State with no core ( read British ) identity, yet all of a sudden in a panic, when set upon by the Americans, Canada is demanding a "Commonwealth" united front,
-
it's really market forces which decide, thus I wouldn't worry about that which is beyond your control, rather you should simply calculate how you can prosper in relation to where the markets are going
-
well American military hardware and logistics is better and cheaper, so if you are going to buy military hardware, buying American gives you the most bang for your buck
-
Canadians are united by their fear, loathing & resentment of America, and by being priggish ; holier than thou
-
oh I don't expect this war to go on forever, it's not going to be that long before Trump has discredited himself, but it's not going to be Canadians whom constrain him, only the American business community can do that, but whenever the war ends, I do think Canada will buy a considerable amount of US military hardware, just to remove that as an irritant to trade relations
-
I see HM The King had the Royal Family out in force for Commonwealth Day, I don't doubt that the British are all for Canada in this fight, Canada is much beloved in the United Kingdom, it's actually Canadians whom are hostile to we British, not the other way round
-
I don't doubt it, I don't even think it will be in the long run, the majority of Americans are regretting it already, Trump is on course to blow himself up, but as soon America goes back to business as usual, Canada will bury the hatchet and go back to business as usual too
-
Canadians don't actually want that, because Canadians don't really want to pay the price, it's all talk because Canada is butt hurt, but it's not a realistic solution for a culture like Canada's, which is by nature keen to have America do all the heavy lifting for Canada, since Canada can then award themselves social welfare entitlements
-
that's not really how Canada is reacting, Canada is rather throwing a hissy fit like a teenager, fantasying about all the ways that they could hit back against Trump daddy, which is not actually generating any realistic solutions to Canada's problem
-
in the near term, but the idea that Canada is going to decouple from America long term is not realistic, in terms of what Canada can do, the main problem in Canada is a lack of productivity, and that is due to Canadian businesses not investing in upgrades, but it's not a command economy, the government can't simply wave a wand and cause Canadian businesses to reform themselves, this has been a forty year problem in Canada, if there was an quick & easy fix, that would have been done long ago, Canada's problems are mostly cultural, Canadians are not a dynamic business oriented people, mostly Canadians just want the government to be the national parent, which is the cause not the solution
-
well Patton was forced to apologize to that soldier in the end, so I think it is possible for Canada to convince Trump that picking on Canada is not really in his interests, but decoupling from America is a delusion
-
if Canadians actually wanted to decouple, then why are they even fighting the trade war ? if Canadians didn't know that they are totally reliant on being coupled with America, there wouldn't be the hysterical panic going on in Canada right now
-
you're not going to find that job in Canada, since Canada's economy is basically just exporting raw materials to America, plus a gigantic real estate bubble which is destined to implode
-
Americans are 33% more productive than Canadians, Americans are 50% more wealthy than Canadians, America has the most capable military in the world by many orders of magnitude while Canada is practically defenceless, so if America is failing, feeble and pathetic Canada is certainly doomed as well
