  1. And you get all sweaty about the Trudeau and the truckers. What a hypocrite.
  2. Congress and the courts are the checks to the executive. One has proved to be a willing accomplice or afraid of opposing him and the other is being bypassed. There is nothing else left.
  3. The last barrier to dictatorship is being dismantled and it is being done without a peep from the nation that continually bragged about its constitution and checks. All a myth.
  4. The blonde airhead actuality thinks the seller pays the tariff and then gets all sweaty when the reporter tells her she is full of shit.
  5. Patriot Poling https://www.reuters.com/world/poll-shows-85-greenlanders-do-not-want-be-part-us-2025-01-29/ Varian
  6. Greenlanders protest outside US consulate at Nuuk. G
  7. Do we need to review our entire defence policy including equipment in view of the new world political situation? I hope this is the conversation that is going on. Is the F-35 still our best choice for a new NATO that can't count on the US? The possibility the US might decide its interests are different or even antagonistic to the rest of NATO? Like now? The price of all these aircraft is negotiable. Member countries of the Typhoon project pay around half the export price. It will be interesting to know what Turkey is paying for them. Hungary and Czech Republic lease their Gripens.
  8. If the Liberal win another majority it will be because a lot of Conservatives changed sides.
  9. Seems we are revisiting the F-35 purchase. Looks like Portugal is not going to buy it citing US unpredictability. They will be going with a European aircraft. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/f35-blair-trump-1.7484477 https://theaviationist.com/2025/03/13/portugal-f-35-plans/ Typhoon might be the best option but it also has the highest flyaway cost, although operating costs might be lower. We could buy 4 Gripen for the price of 3 F-35's and operating costs would be quite a bit lower. There must be some interesting conversations going on between the airforce and politicians. I believe we have already paid for the first 16 F-35's plus spares and tooling for most of the fleet so I imagine we will wind up with at least some of them.
  10. Trump sure hid it well. He campaigned on the border and economy but turns out he is a wannabe Napoleon. Trump and Co are fascists, the jury is still out on your country.
  11. The Democrats have to figure out who they are and be more focused. They are always trying to be everything to everyone whereas the Republicans have always been focused on winning. And here we are.
  12. And the Republican party is doing nothing to stop them What's the old Jewish saying. If there are ten people at a table and one of them is a Nazi. If none of the others says anything there are ten Nazis at the table. Something like that.
