Bear in mind, the Liberals are doing what the Democrats did with Obama, raising expectations, which are then going to be dashed, inherently dysfunctional government is structural, Gerry Butts doesn't govern, he just promises the moon to the lefties and steals the NDP platform, Dalton McGuinty, Kathleen Wynne, that who is actually running this government, so it's going to bust at some point. In the wake, Ford Nation will rule. Then there's gonna be some trouble. Not that I don't loves some Dougie Ford, mostly because he amuses me, but also it's the same as Trump, just stick it to the Lefties, troll the shit out of them. But Ford Nation is not going to mix well with the Indians at the federal level.

But I'm not talking about just the indians in BC, those are squishy Indians, Hipster Indians, NDPindians. They are bourgeois. I'm talking about all disputes everywhere in the country, to include radical and iron hard Indians like the Iroquois Six Nations Confederacy, led by their Hegemon, the Mohawks. Dysfunctional Confederation, Government Corruption and Incompetence, The Indian Grievance Farming Litigation Complex, and the RCMP, is a witches brew which makes me think a de facto veto is going to be initiated at gunpoint somewhere eventually. The RCMP treat the Indians too roughly, because the RCMP is paramilitary, it's just a matter of time before the Mounties set off a powder keg.

Neither Canada nor Australia have real foreign policies, only the Hegemon's have foreign policies, Canada and Australia are Five Eyes, which is American foreign policy, in the American Hegemony, Empire of Liberty.

Compliments returned in kind, sir. /salutes Well, there are so many aspects to this now multi-polar, multi-vector Cold War 2.0 But again, the thing that is causing it is the Information Age, as things are becoming increasingly unstable in the midst of, realpolitik by two stage fission-fusion tritium boosted critical mass is coming back, because as the Hegemons recoil from the market forces of it, they are going back to the future with cold war, but with all the new Information Age technology, which is starting to unbalance the Balance of Terror as well, BMD, Big Data, Hypersonics, etc

You served on a Boomer, sir? Awesome. I mean, I could never handle that tight quarters, I was made for the infantry, but the Boomers themselves, again, awesome. And I understand counterforce depressed trajectory SLBM profiles, but again, I'm not worried about the Americans, as I said, the Americans are reliable, Mr. Ivan on the other hand, is a ticking time bomb by so many vectors. Canada, is irrelevant, Fake Country, but harmless enough, so long as we can rid ourselves of this zombie Confederation. Which we will, I am sure of it, it's just a matter of time, and I'm patient. Those who think it's not going to happen are simply delusional as to how close it came last time, and how next time it will be in the throws of revolutionary change which will sweep across Quebec as well.

The government cannot keep economic order, because this is not a minor short term sea change, this is a revolution like the Industrial Revolution, and as then, it is now and is going to be increasingly inciting economic disorder, Yellow Vests ain't going away so to say, more and more industrial workers are going to be out of work, and because the government is dysfunctional, it can't actually find employment for them. Electorates all over the world and in Canada as well, are thrashing around trying to find a government who can fix it, Trump, Trudeau, Macron, Ford, Brexit, SNP, Green Party, blah, blah, blah But no government can fix it, because an epoch age post industrial revolution is too big, governments are impotent in the face of it, and that is going to cause rage. . . . . . and then there be a referendum in Quebec, and we Pequistes will ride that wave of post industrial rage right out of Confederation to be free.

They're not going to do it intentionally, the bombs are at 15 minutes notice to launch, otherwise known as Hair Trigger Alert. That's 15 minutes to figure out what is going on before it launches by that warning, otherwise known as Launch On Warning. What would happen is this Cold War Two with Putin degenerates into a serious confrontation, the Americans have amazing early warning so they are reliable, but the Russians are not, the Russian early warning is a shambles, so they are the ones who will launch, by mistake, on false warning, when their early warning system shits the bed. That is not very unlikely, that falls under very plausible actually.

Quebec is very changeable, they go on a cycle, political boom and bust, we're in the down cycle now, but as the effects of the Information Revolution continue to buffet Canada, there is going to be increasing unrest, similar to the US right now, we Pequistes will rise again, and due to politically unstable Quebec, it's not going to be too long.

Probability is not stable, can shift precipitously, is shifting as we speak, in the direction of the ever more likely.

You're welcome to your opinion of course, and as I've said, we Pequistes are simply lying in wait husbanding our resources for when the next referendum comes, but we don't need you, so I'm not trying to convince you of anything, I'm not trying to recruit to be Pequistes, that's the beauty of it, Confederation is going to bring itself down, by giving we Pequistes the constitutional right to leave Confederation, and by being so dysfunctional now, far more dysfunctional that it was at the time of the last referendum, and that very dysfunction is going to be the thing that puts us over the top. . . and out of this abomination at the next referendum, vive le Quebec, vive le Quebec libre. I will of course continue to defend my Commander-in-Chief, when Quebec leaves they will be a republic, but as that tears the country apart, we here in Upper Canada will be free, and we're not getting rid of the Queen. More likely King by the time this goes down, because it's not going to happen tomorrow obviously. But we are patient, this is a long term project, we are laying the groundwork now for things to come in the next decade or so. Because this Information Age revolution is picking up pace now, the industrial work is really starting to go away (which is why I am also a member of the Anti-Work Movement, conservative wing) and as these industrial workers all start to lose their work, revolutionary forces will be in play, which will only hasten the downfall of this Failed State Zombie Confederation. This process has already begun, with Alberta industrial workers fighting BC Information workers, over pipelines and the oil sands vs. Climate Change urban Knowledge Economy elites. That is the Information Age revolution habbening. Same thing with Trump, because the revolution was that out of work industrial workers in the rust belt flipped from the Democrats to Trump, which is the only way he could have won.

Just FYI, in the event of World War Three, Canada only serves one role; Canada is No Mans Land. As the war is not really Transatlantic, it's over the Pole, with Canada sitting right in the middle. This was always Canada's role in the event of World War Three, which is another reason there isn't much support for having an actual fighting military, because in the event of war, Canada will not be in the fight, so much as Canada will simply be wiped off the map in a thermonuclear firestorm.

Can't strengthen the military, due to dysfunctional failed Confederation, because one the many dysfunctions of Canadian Confederation is that the regions where support for the military is high, are demographically boxed out by the regions where they don't want a military at all, because those regions are fundamentally Marxist socialist and so view the military as simply being pawns of American Imperialism, and those people control the agenda of the country, by way of the leverage they have over everybody else in Confederation. NATO undermines itself by having too many countries like Canada, otherwise known as the Free Riders, Trump is merely stating the truth of it, causing the liberal media to go hysterical. Trump doesn't have to stop criticizing NATO, he is the American Commander-in-Chief, NATO belongs to him, NATO Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) at Brussels Belgium, commands all NATO forces under the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) General Curtis M.Scaparotti, and General Scaparotti reports directly from there, to Donald Trump. Canada is irrelevant, but part of the Canadian Disease is that Canadians have a delusional sense of their importance, or rather total lack thereof, and you clearly have the Canadian Disease, although I used to as well, so it can be cured, you're probably just young, idealistic and naive. Which is fine, but it's delusional. All POTUS's are hostile to some degree or another, but Obama was actually more hostile in real terms, because Obama made more actual policies which harmed Canadian interests. Not my interests mind you, harmed the interests of Confederation, which I of course no longer defend nor uphold and are now rather actively working to undermine by any and all legal means. The Americans are going to continue to freeze Canada out, because this is not about Trump, you are inside of a revolution right now, the Information Revolution, just as people in the 19th century people were cuaght up in the Industrial Revolution, so nothing will ever be the same as it was, it's never going back to business as usual, because business is changing, from Industrial Age business into Information Age business, what you are experiencing is simply the buffeting of the forces as they rip the old world down and transition into a new world, again, as they did in the 19th century going from agrarian to industrial.

Do you not understand what "de facto" means? Do you understand the difference between de facto and de jure?

I see a value in NATO, I was after all a Cold Warrior, I'm pro-NATO, not to go adventuring, chasing terrorists down rabbit holes, but Mr. Ivan must be deterred on the trace in Europe, whether that trace be on the Inner German border or as it is now the Inner Ukrainian border, whether he's under Soviet colours or Russian, because if he crosses the Article V line, and the crisis were to break NATO under the pressure of it, it's still gonna be World War Three at the brink of a strategic thermonuclear exchange. Canada tho, would have no particular influence, because while she was a serious player when I was serving NATO, Canada now is functionally disarmed for all intents and purposes above the limited tactical level, and doesn't have a logistics tail for the pathetically dilapidated tactical only force it has now.

Your assertion was not that they had a de jure veto, you said "inherent" veto, which means de facto, and they do have a de facto veto, because they are the title holders of the land and that makes it their property, and people are very attached to their property, so if you try to roll over them, that will backfire into the governments face, because if any First Nation decides to resist as the Mohawks did at Oka, the same that happened at Oka is going to happen again, and at Oka, the Mohawks used force, and they won. The issue here is that the government is not as afraid of the Pacific Northwest Coast indians, because as of right now they are comparatively docile bourgeois pampered indians, but the government don't even dare step one foot on Mohawk land, because the Mohawks are not docile and are rather reasonably well trained paramilitaries and heavily armed. Some first nations are docile and some are not, but any which chooses to flip to the not docile camp can veto the government by asymmetrical use of force, otherwise known as guerilla warfare, which is what the Oka Crisis was in the summer of 1990.

So long as the band councils are on board, I'm fine with it, I do not oppose pipelines, although I don't think it's going to save the oil sands mid to long term, because a lack of pipelines is not what is killing the oil sands, what is killing the oil sands and what is going to kill the oil sands, is the international Bolshevist Climate Doom scam and associated shift of public opinion which is going to render the oil sands politically unsustainable.

Draw conclusions as you may, but conclusions not supported by logical consistency backed up by evidence are not arguments, those are called opinions, which are inherently unfounded, which brings us back to; "So what?" In terms of being an Anglo Pequiste, I am not Quebecois, I am British North American, my earliest ancestor which I can trace, jumped ship at Halifax Harbour in 1757 after being press ganged into the Royal Navy to fight the French and Indian component of the Seven Years War. I merely support their self determination as per the SCC ruling which states they are entitled to it so long as it by democratic means under the Clarity Act. And while we are not a large cohort, yet, I am not alone and we are not disorganized. "Most Canadians" is not only fallacious circular logic, we don't actually need most Canadians, we just need a tiny little percentage of them in certain ridings in Quebec

Just to get it out of the way, so you know who you are talking to before you start beaking off about service to the Crown unto death as necessary under contract of unlimited liability As a soldier of HM Royal Canadian Infantry Corps, I served with The Royal Canadian Regiment, 1st and 3rd Battalions, in Rifle Company, as well as Anti-Armor and Reconnaissance Platoons, I was an infantry instructor at the Royal Canadian Regiment Battleschool, and I served in staff positions with Land Forces Central Area and the Land Advanced Warfare Center. Ducimus

And while I don't wear my medals anymore, I do have them here in my desk, which technically makes me a decorated veteran, although for no particular valour.

I was already out of the army with no desire to return for the purposes of invading The Graveyard of Empires on behalf of American neoliberal NeoConservatives, before 9-11 occurred. In terms of my operational experience, in the 1980's I served with NATO CENTAG on the trace, in the 90's I served on Op Salon in aid to the civil power, and Op Harmony, which is UN chapter 6 UNPROFOR Bosnia was Op Cavalier.

The Government of Canada can pass a conscription act any time they please, and no, you couldn't bring a charter challenge, because, yes, that is something they could actually invoke section 33 in order to ram through.

Seems that you are the one who needs to do some homework, because you keep posting non sequitur to the point, since I did not make any points with regards to the taxation of Quebec. If we could achieve de-Confederation, then I would gladly and proudly pay my taxes to Upper Canada, because it's quite lovely here in Wellington County and I have no desire to leave, but so long as the taxes are being extracted by Ottawa, then those taxes are extracted ultimately at gun point, because I do not otherwise pay them willingly. As to punch above weight class, that was long ago and far away, I was there, and this here now, this ain't it. And the reason is; the inherent and so persistent and increasing dysfunction of Confederation, to wit, doesn't work, never worked, isn't going to work, ergo; vive le Quebec, vive le Quebec libre, my motto.

Although, that being said, I am still available for conscription, assuming said Conscription Act is signed by Her Majesty, as tho I have no fealty whatsoever to Canadian Confederation per se, I am none the less still a loyal subject of the Crown and associated Commonwealth.

The ISS does not belong to Canada neither, so not a Canadian space program. Canada's size is actually irrelevant, for example Hong Kong outperfoms Canada by almost every measure, particularly in terms of GDP income, and yet Hong Kong is just a rock with no resources. But yes, it is typical of and inclusive to the Canadian Disease to try to use size to justify the dysfunction of Confederation, but looking at Hong Kong, Singapore, and Liechtenstein, reveals that size in fact a canard. In terms of respect, no, I no longer have any respect for Canadian Confederation, hence why I am an Anglo Pequiste, and I only pay taxes to it because they are extracted from me ultimately at gunpoint, but since Canadian Confederation doesn't actually require anything else from me after they've shaken me down, I simply shrug and carry on with my own life as an individual autonomous from said state, quite comfortably.

Since you are insistent in posting in bad faith, in that there is no logical consistency supporting your assertions, I would say the issue is that you simply lack the intellectual capacity at this juncture to be able to argue anything, for whatever reason. But since you probably don't know what that means, I tried to dumb it down into its logical conclusion; "stupidity", as making assertions over and over without any logic to underpin them, is the distilled dictionary definition of stupidity. Other than, not sure what I can do to help you. /shrugs
