Ok you’re thinking of the 360 ACSV vehicles which to be fair is the support variant (ambulance, general purpose transport etc) of the new LAV 6 and is still rolling off the line. The ~600 LAV 6 combat vehicles were fully delivered to the army by 2019. In a rarity they were acidic delivered on time and on budget. Of the 360 ACSVs Canada has ordered, as of the latest data Ive seen (February 2024) nearly 120 had been delivered to the army. To date, 89 of current and future vehicles have been donated or pledged to Ukraine with the army saying they will be replaced at some point. It’s not clear however whether Ukraine is getting all their 89 vehicles up front, they may be getting them in batches or every 3rd or 4th vehicle off the line something like that interspersed with deliveries for the Canadian army. From what I’ve last seen from earlier this year, 49 had been delivered to date, a batch of 39 in 2023 and a batch of 10 earlier this year. The ACSV had pandemic related delays but is still on budget and still expected by end of next year. He’s signed a bunch of expensive contracts that PP will have to pay for. Otherwise yeah very little and only when forced. The Canadian way. He cut defence as % of revenue all the way down to 0.99% in 2014, so that means he reallocated resources elsewhere. He did so because he was desperate to show a balanced budget. If he hadn’t resorted to dumb gimmicks like cutting the GST he would have had more money available but he chose tax cuts over defence. 1) According to the data I see food bank usage is 2 million which is 5% not 20% 2)People don’t go to the food bank because the government is running deficits. In fact history has shown the opposite (although the capacity to run deficits is not unlimited) 3)The entire western world experienced post-pandemic inflation and it has subsided immensely to the point where central banks are repeatedly cutting interest rates 4) To the extent housing policy has affected the economy that is not a function of government over-spending in fact it’s a sign the government has under-invested in the affordable housing supply Harper was just under 1.4, but more to the point that was also at the height of the Afghanistan war where he wasn’t building up the military so much as paying for operations. Operations that depleted and destroyed inventories mind you, with 400 army vehicles damaged or destroyed there. Harper decommissioned Canada’s entire air defence capability, put most of the tanks and heavy trucks in long term storage, Upgrade and procurement projects were foregone or postponed indefinitely and so on. And you can see from your own link he went down to 0.99% of GDP in 2014. So the military wasn’t exempted from his government-wide tampon policy. TBH it would have been pretty awkward to try and explain the justification for that given their stance on transgender issues. But anyone who’s triggered and demoralized by seeing a tampon especially a soldier needs to get their priorities straight. A sane reaction would simply be to roll your eyes and laugh and see who can make the best tampon joke.

New Lavs are not gone they are actually already in service. 3 different types of new planes were ordered by Trudeau including more F-35s than Harper was prepared to buy - plus new drones, new air defence (a capability that Harper decommissioned) new anti-tank missiles, new trucks, new over the horizon arctic radar and satellite stations, 2 extra AOPS ships and more. The military is in such rough shape it’s not nearly enough to turn things around. And to be fair most of what Trudeau bought was only after Russia officially invaded Ukraine in 2022 and Biden really started twisting JT’s arm. Plus, a lot of it won’t be available for 6-10 years Harper cut the budget because like all conservatives he was obsessed with tax cuts and desperate to run a balanced budget after years of deficits Canadas recession was brief and mild, lasting only 3 quarters from Q4 2008 through Q2 2009 so that doesn’t add up to your claim. Harper’s defence spending peaked at 1.3% of gdp before being cut to 1% I doubt any troops were humiliated. Most probably thought it was hilarious.

Tampons have not affected military readiness

I can’t stomach that partisan propaganda. Yes Trudeau hasn’t been a friend of the military but neither have conservatives. Harper cut the military to the bone. Trudeau might not have reversed decades of damage inflicted by both parties but FWIW he has increased rather than decreased budget. Meanwhile Poilievre still refuses to commit to increased funding.

There are many wars where scarcity caused by climate change has be a contributing factor. The actual term is “threat multiplier” meaning it exacerbates existing tensions between groups and makes conflict more likely. Here’s Chat GPT’s short list of such conflicts: 1. The Syrian Civil War (2011–present): A prolonged drought from 2006 to 2010, devastated agricultural production, leading to mass migration from rural areas to cities. This, combined with other political and social factors, increased tensions and contributed to the outbreak of civil war. 2. Darfur Conflict (2003–present): Environmental degradation, including desertification linked to climate change, intensified competition for scarce resources like water and arable land between nomadic herders and farming communities. This heightened tensions, contributing to the violent conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region. 3. Lake Chad Basin Conflict: Climate change has caused the shrinking of Lake Chad, a vital resource for millions in Central Africa. The reduction of water availability has fueled tensions among communities and contributed to the rise of extremist groups like Boko Haram, which exploit grievances related to resource scarcity. 4. Somalia (1991–present) • Climate Factor: Prolonged droughts and desertification. • Impact: Somalia has experienced recurring droughts that have severely affected agriculture, livestock, and water resources. This has worsened food insecurity and intensified conflict between different clans and militant groups, such as Al-Shabaab, as they compete over scarce resources. 5. Yemen Civil War (2014–present) • Climate Factor: Water scarcity and reduced agricultural yields. • Impact: Yemen is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world, and climate change has exacerbated this condition by affecting rainfall patterns and causing prolonged droughts. The resulting resource shortages have intensified pre-existing political and social divisions, contributing to the ongoing civil war. 6. South Sudan (2013–present) • Climate Factor: Flooding, drought, and changing rainfall patterns. • Impact: Climate change has worsened both droughts and flooding in South Sudan, leading to food insecurity, displacement, and competition for resources between communities, particularly pastoralists and farmers. This has fueled ethnic tensions and exacerbated the country’s civil war. 7. Afghanistan (1978–present) • Climate Factor: Drought and reduced agricultural productivity. • Impact: Afghanistan’s ongoing conflict has been worsened by climate change-driven droughts, which have devastated agriculture and increased poverty in rural areas. These factors contribute to social instability, pushing people to join militant groups such as the Taliban in search of livelihoods. 8. Ethiopia-Eritrea Conflict (1998–2000) • Climate Factor: Drought and resource scarcity. • Impact: While the primary causes of the Ethiopia-Eritrea war were political and territorial, climate change-exacerbated droughts in the Horn of Africa region put additional pressure on food supplies and resources, contributing to tensions and conflict. 9. Conflict in the Sahel Region (Ongoing) • Climate Factor: Desertification and shifting weather patterns. • Impact: The Sahel, a region across northern Africa, is highly vulnerable to climate change, experiencing desertification and irregular rainfall. This has led to resource scarcity and competition between farming communities and nomadic herders. These conditions have fueled conflicts across several countries, including Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Chad, where extremist groups exploit instability to expand their influence. 10. Rwandan Genocide (1994) • Climate Factor: Land scarcity and agricultural stress. • Impact: While the Rwandan Genocide was primarily driven by ethnic tensions and political factors, the growing pressure on arable land due to population growth and environmental degradation played a role in increasing social tensions between Hutus and Tutsis. Climate change-related stresses on agriculture exacerbated land competition and food insecurity, contributing to the underlying grievances. 11. Pakistan-India Tensions (Ongoing) • Climate Factor: Water scarcity and glacial melt. • Impact: Climate change is affecting the Himalayan glaciers, which feed the Indus River system, a vital water source for both Pakistan and India. As glacial melt accelerates and water availability fluctuates, tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors have risen, particularly over the shared river system and disputes related to water resources. 12. Bangladesh-Myanmar Rohingya Crisis (Ongoing) • Climate Factor: Rising sea levels and natural disasters. • Impact: Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to rising sea levels and flooding, which has displaced millions of people over the years. Climate migration is increasingly a factor in the region, with competition for resources like land and water contributing to tensions, including between the Rohingya ethnic minority and the Myanmar military, which led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya people. It is a fact that we are having more severe and more frequent disasters So we shouldn’t purposely cause something like that to happen again. You’re asking for science that explains why increased frequency and severity of natural disasters, rising sea levels, mass dying of species and mass migration are bad? I see endless articles explaining how they got to those conclusions. If you don’t see them in a format intended for the general public it’s because you’re not looking. I will provide you a link but first we need to cover off an explainer because I don’t think you even understand how science works so we need to address that first l As for “the actual data and analysis” of course if you’re not also a phd in science you likely won’t be able to make heads or tails of the data. It’s a climate denier meme that when they read articles intended for laypeople they say “show me the numbers so I can do my own calculations!” But then when they re presented with the data and analysis , which is written by scientists for scientists using technical terms and references, mathematical and statistical models you wouldn’t even begin to understand, they go “this is indecipherable mumbo jumbo give it to me in plain English!” You wouldn’t even be able to UNDERSTAND those studies let alone independently validate them There are hundreds of universities and scientific organizations around the world who each have dozens of scientists studying hyper-specialized topics like ocean acidification, ice core samples, soil samples old growth forests, specific plants, animals or ecosystems, weather phenomena, etc, each usually with a focus in specific regions of the world. Then there are research papers that simply compile the findings of other original research papers. So as hypothetical example the existing scientific consensus on the topic of ocean acidification might actually have arisen from hundreds of papers on hyper-specific topics such as “acidification in the intertidal regions of the Gulf of Mexico as determined using xyz methodology” or “survey of peer-reviewed oceanic acidification studies 1993-2023” and so on. As I mentioned you wouldn’t be able to understand any of their research because it’s not intended for non-scientific laypeople. You then have other groups like IPCC among many others who also review and compile the research, formulate positions amd make the info available to the general public and policy makers. In addition the journalism industry and various scientific or interest groups and mainstream media employ science writers who “dumb it down” to plain English for a general audience and you can easily find those in outlets such as National geographic, Time Magazine and traditional news outlets. Since you’re asking for data (for which let’s be honest you have neither the intellectual curiosity, lack of bias, or the scientific acumen to review or assess): Here is an example of where you can find reports. Or again you can read scientific journals intended for mainstream audiences like National Geographic, Nature, Smithsonian and others https://www.ipcc.ch/srocc/chapter/technical-summary/

It is already causing mass migration and water shortages and disasters which has been a contributing factor to wars in Africa and Syria That’s only going to get worse, dumbass. You are such a dumbass. First of all climate change causes lots of catastrophic consequences already, long before “killing everyone”. Like are you suggesting that if centuries of disaster and turmoil only kills half the planet while the rest somehow manage to survive in some post-apocalyptic mad max world then its not a problem? Are you suggesting that if wildfires floods and droughts become normal everyday life for everyone then it’s not a problem? As for predicting the exact time and date how can I explain this in a way someone with your low IQ could understand? For example everyone knows that if you don’t change the oil in your car then EVENTUALLY the engine will fail. But even the best mechanic couldn’t tell you exactly when the engine is going to fail. Do you think that means it’s a hoax? The Obamas live in Kenwood Illinois, you idi*t. In case you’re too stupid to understand, that is not the coast. They own and rent various properties around the country for personal leisure and as investments. Not every coastal property is facing immediate short term climate risks especially not the high end properties they own. For example while sea levels are expected rise by up to 4 ft by the year 2100, on that timeframe I doubt the Obamas, whose multimillion dollar vacation property in Marthas Vineyard is 20ft ASL but likely has all sorts of remediation measures, are concerned. The house is also far back from the water.

Woman whose post ignited false Springfield cat claim says it was based on rumor Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, recently authored a post on Facebook, saying that her neighbor’s cat was lost and she was told it was because the pet was attacked by a Haitian immigrant. Kimberly Newton, Lee’s neighbor, acknowledged this week to NewsGuard, “I don’t actually know the person who lost the cat.” Newton added that the cat’s owner was “an acquaintance of a friend.” Now, Lee, has said she was sorry about the way the events unfolded, with the unfounded conspiracy theories about Haitian immigrants amplified by both former President Trump and his vice presidential pick, Ohio Sen. JD Vance (R). “It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Lee said in an interview with NBC Newson Friday. Lee, whose Facebook post has been deleted, stated she did not expect that local gossip would spiral into a national story. .. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4879994-springfield-rumor-haitian-immigrants-facebook-post/ How about don’t go posting dubious unconfirmed fourth hand rumours on Facebook that you got from your neighbour’s friend’s acquaintance (whom you and your neighbour don’t even know) as if it were a confirmed fact? Not to mention falsly embellishing thw story by claiming it happened to your neighbour. Only MAGAs and simpletons do that, that’s why they’re such easy targets for fake news If you don’t want to be labeled as one, then don’t act like one

Its a stupid question from a stupid person. We are already experiencing disasters due to climate change and they will only get worse as time goes on, leading to resource shortages, more wars, more mass migrations, all of this will become the new normal.

LOL You are absolutely ignorant on pretty much every subject you speak on so its amusing you think you can educate anyone on anything For the record: 1) As a point of fact late term abortion is not killing a baby. Killing a baby is explicitly illegal in every jurisdiction 2) NOBODY kills babies after they’re delivered. 3) Refusing life-saving care to a mother experiencing a pregnancy complication is actually killing a human being

Springfield, Ohio faces 2nd day of bomb threats after Trump ‘eating pets’ rant The fallout of Trump’s remarks came quickly for the city of Springfield. Less than 48 hours after the debate, numerous government buildings and elementary schools received a bomb threat that the city’s mayor said included “hateful language” against Haitians. On Friday, two new bomb threats were made, targeting even more schools. https://news.google.com/read/CBMirgFBVV95cUxQNGx3ejVodnUxdnRhSDB2V2lmLU1fa1EtaE1RU2xSTU1HdjBaOGVKclp5ZUdvcl8tQXRvUmJmR1p6NFZRTUdyT1dTalJyRF9wTEpKOXZOdnREVWMzME5OMldoVEItd1pBZi1kTDZpQ2lhWWl3a2lRTUMxd0R1b3h0a3RaVDBGZmpHcEhxQXRnZjNlazQ3djBXeUtGM2F1Mm1IWjdRakMtNXVPRmJrMkHSAbMBQVVfeXFMTnJlRmo5WlJjQ3oxbW8wc1U5TUxmbzR0WjhjRTF2T0Fpemg5WExuOTVtUlBkQ2tTaE5xdjRPUzNKSG84ZWRnOEZHeUgwTHhRc2pjejI4NHV6dU5oSUJ6X2M1RW5EWHE5MWZ0NGg2eFdBOTQxemQ1dXNUOU9uWWhxeW40NVFHSjVOekx4bUhIR0JKa1hjNGs0a0I1Qk5BY3Y1M2JNTjVKMlVEa04yV09ZMW5LX2c?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen MAGAs gonna MAGA. WHEN Trump loses in November the right wing terrorist attacks are going to be absolutely insane.

1) no video 2) a woman trying to get an abortion is jot the same ad a woman actually getting an abortion 3) ABC didn’t say late-term abortions don’t exist, they said delivering a live baby and then “executing” it as Trump falsely claimed doesn’t exist. The MAGA LIE MACHINE continues

1) Not a handful. 2) What other countries’ unregistered foreign agents weee infiltrating the NRA and conservative think tanks and media outlets? 3) What other countries’ agents were the likes of Flynn and Manafort receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from? 4) what other countries did the Trump campaign meet with to negotiate the release of Hillary’s hacked emails? 5)what other country’s intelligence operatives did they lie about meeting with? 6) what other countries infiltrated the NRA paid millions to Christian conservative interest groups who agreed to lobby on their behalf?

What are you trying to say it was only a little bit of subversion so it’s ok? While there’s no evidence Russians had anything to do with Trump’s attempt to take over the Capitol and stealing the election they were definitely rooting for him and would have benefited from it immensely. Fortunately for us Trump was a failure as a seditious traitor just as he was a failure as a president and as a businessman. First of all what stupid ass doesn’t understand is that Russians infiltrated and influenced Republican organizations and propaganda outlets at large not just the Trump campaign. Your cult didn’t provide you with any memorized talking points to mindlessly repeat about anything except the Mueller invest naturally that’s all you’ll acknowledge here. Second of all lots of people were convicted for collusion-related activities: Former Trump 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort: Sentenced to 7.5 years in prison this March for bank and tax fraud and crimes related to his work as a political consultant for the Russian regime in Ukraine. Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen: Received a three-year prison sentence in Dec. 2018 for tax evasion, bank fraud, lying to Congress and campaign finance violations. Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos: Convicted of lying to investigators about about Russian contacts. He served 12 days in prison and in October, filed to run for former Rep. Katie Hill's California seat. Dutch attorney Alex van der Zwaan:Pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about his work for law firm Skadden, Arps, Meagher, & Flom LLP and Affiliates in 2012. He was sentenced to 30 days in prison and a $20,000 fine. Ex-Trump campaign deputy chairman Rick Gates: Pleaded guilty in Feb. 2018 to conspiracy and lying to the FBI. After cooperating extensively in multiple investigations, Gates was sentenced in December to 45 days in jail, three years of probation and 300 hours of community service. Roger Stone: Sentenced to 40 months in prison for crimes that include obstruction of justice, lying to Congress and witness tampering. A federal jury convicted Stone after he lied to Congress about his efforts to learn more about when WikiLeaks would publish damaging emails about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election. Former national security adviser Michael Flynn: The retired three-star general pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in Dec. 2017. In addition to 26 Russian nationals including Maria Butina and Konstantin Kilimnik. For more than 25 years, a large swath of the GOP has enjoyed mutually rewarding relationships with Russian operatives. https://newrepublic.com/article/165782/republicans-putin-history-relationship-manafort How Putin's oligarchs funneled millions into GOP campaigns Campaign finance reports show troubling connections between a group of wealthy donors with ties to Russia and their political contributions to Trump and top Republican leaders https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2018/05/08/how-putin-s-oligarchs-funneled-millions-into-gop-campaigns/?outputType=amp Senate Report Reveals NRA Was 'Foreign Asset' To Russia Ahead of 2016 https://www.npr.org/2019/09/27/765037952/senate-report-reveals-nra-was-foreign-asset-to-russia-ahead-of-2016 As for all your China Biden conspiracy nonsense that all was debunked when the the failed Durham investigation and the failed Republican impeachment inquiry (“we don’t know what he might have done but we’re going to try and impeach him anyway”) couldn’t find anything.

It is an established fact. They don’t even deny it, they just claimed their dealings were innocent and they were only lying about them and hiding them because they didn’t want to it look bad. I know kool-aid srinkers like yourself do everything you can to avoid inconvenient facts amd lobotomize yourselves if you accidentally happen to learn one, but Russian it’s a fact that agents like Maria Butina, Konstantin Kilimnik, Lev Parnas and many others had infiltrated Republican circles
