Yeah OK LOL Sure, private health care with and insurance....like the US??? Ask the populace what they want... LOL Oh and stick lazy people and old people in mental institutions...like they do in communist and socialist countries?? LOL Anyway, not very christian of you....do unto others and honour thy neighbour, help and love etc etc LOL

Agree except, hundreds of millions in grants sort of make them government controlled. Isn't that the mantra of many on these forums? MSM is all government controlled LOL

Governments duty is far more than making laws. Where have you been LOL Communist, socialist and marxists countries only make laws and let everyone else suffer their lives. Yes you did. You were really for grocery CEO's to explain the high grocery prices. You refused to admit that production costs, transport costs, labour costs were part of the high price of groceries. No you don't believe that. You are very much in favour of government ensuring we all, busiinesses included, are properly served. Your bible thumpin self is more socialist and marxist than even socialist and Marxist countries are LOL. God loves all and gives all LOL

Here is the deal, if you take hundreds of millions of dollars from government, then yes, you are beholding to government. Especially if you lay off thousand of people after you take government money. I remember you being all gung ho when grocery store CEO's got hauled before the carpet and they got no government money. So, it is OK for some but not for others?? Every government that Canada has ever had has been somewhat socialistic. Otherwise we would not have health care, welfare, any other social programs and now day care and dental plans and tampons in mens washrooms LOL Governments only give grants to those that apply for them. There is no "blanket" grant. They need to apply BCE is successful.

No. Are you even a little bit aware of all of Canadian Military commitments? The US commitments??

Why not make comparisons with China then? Or India? Or Mexico? My point is comparisons of military strength, to one of the largest, most powerful military in the world is, for so many reasons, dumb.

Comparisons are fruitless and not necessary.

You forget Space Force, American Reserves, Army and Air Force National Guard, Coast Guard. The Air Force reserve has more members than all of the CAF. The US Army reserve has nearly 4 times the number of CAF total members. National Guard has over 400K members. Point is, comparing is fruitless.

Parliament has very right to "grill" the CEO's Besides, BCE gets hundreds of millions form Governmental so the government has every right to ask why they lay off thousands of people and increase prices and still accept lots of money from them. they needed to explain themselves and their actions. Laying off people, accepting government money and giving shareholders profit money. You didn't fly off the handle when the CEO's of grocery chains were called before parliament. That has nothing to do with socialism or Marxism. It has everything to do with what are you doing with all the money we gave you. Your single minded obsession with socialism and marxism prevents you from understanding all governments are supposed to give its citizens what they want.

Why is this a surprise? I was in the Military (Air Force) for 35 years and during that time we hovered around 60K (regular force) members. We had several force reduction programs to get the numbers down during my tenure. The Military was never a priority for either Liberal or Conservative governments. As for the reserves, they are quite often regular force members (in the Airforce anyway) or members that have quit for personal reasons but still want to be active. Anyway, we are where we are because we chose to be there.

Nope, just responding to his garbage. Like another poster said, and he is so right, no one cares anymore except 3 fools on this forum. 3 fools that have nothing in their lives and when confronted, just insult and call names. ...like little kids that got caught LOL 3 fools that keep repeating themselves in hopes that if they say it often enough, someone would agree with them. You guys is it....the 3 fools LOL Just telling LOL

Wake up and smell reality....todays reality... not your reality of hundreds of years ago!!! The one that "should stop kowtowing to us" is you for gawds sake.

OMG...he is off in never never land again. LOL

As in PP's ass??? LOL Whoop Whoop, here it comes LOL

If "a majority of Canadians think Trudeau is spending too much", they do not realize all the spending and promises are after the next election. Stupid question and poll.

As I said, I spent 35 years in the military and another 10+ around the military. Lots of governments were there during my tenure and they all disregarded the men and women that served. In praise of them all, they did so much with so little and were constantly under appreciated. Canada was not an invitee to AUKUS and never will be. AUKUS is The Trilateral Security Partnership Between Australia, U.K. and U.S. Navy. It is primarily to acquire nuclear subs and Canada will never go down that path. AWACS are also and often the airborne command and control centre.

I agree with almost everything you say. I do want to say though, in my 35 years in the Military beginning way back when, and more than 10 years working with the Military after my career, it has not just been liberals that screwed the military. The conservatives are also to blame for the state of our defence systems, (or lack of). I am not a liberal but I need to reiterate, there were many conservative governments in my Military career too. The decay of the military is shared equally between both government parties. We have never lived up to our NATO requirements. We have always depended on the US for securing Canadian soil. We had a huge military complex and military back in WWII but, that was because we were back then "owned" by the British and we just complied with their demand. We had loyalty and pride in Canada back then. We no longer have that. We do not have the young people that will commit to the service of Canada anymore. We cannot force them to join and we cannot force them to stay. Too many free things and assistance to bother with rather than being a soldier, sailor or airman.

What makes me gag is you and confux and taxme coming up your rear LOL Other than needing a laugh by reading your and confux posts, I do not think of you at all LOL

For sure, Australia needs to defend itself against the New Zealand fleet of Cessna 150's LOL Frack dude, get back in your basement...

There are AWCS at Elmendorf Alaska with Canadians aboard. I had a colleague that was there. Who cares about Australia ? Australia has it's own defence policy. And Canada does not need AWACS type aircraft.

WTF...? Australia? Get on the same continent with the rest of us dude. LOL Oh and Canada has AWACS presence and involvement both in Europe and here in North America.

Nope. You trying to be relevant? Your retorts are not funny and quite boring i will admit that most of your replies do make me gag and remind me of confux and westconman.

Done that, didn't like it LOL So, as usual. lots of useless banter but no evidence and cannot answer simple questions asked of you. Maybe becasue all that comes out of you is in fact bullshit??/LOL You don't even have good retorts. You trying hard to become a PP's ass pimple confux and one trick pony westconman clone but you still have work to do. LOL
