Army Guy

I did cite LiZ Truss, who was pm of the UK, who regardless of YOUR opinion she was still the PM, must have known something to get to those rank levels....The book i suggested you read, is a Biography written by someone that has Mark Carney best interest in mind, there is nothing in that book that is negative about your hero, it explains all those myths in some detail....nothing conspiracy about it...other sources i linked to was the UK chief financial editor who wrote a lengthy about Mark Carney and very little of it was flattering....The of course the Canadian side of things like harpers article, etc etc...So i stand behind my sources... Yes i did research him including read his biography written by james powell , can't wait until your next accusation....As far as google search there is not much out there that does paint a good picture of Mark Carney....Not sure what you based your opinions on, i think you stopped as soon as you read he went to Oxford..... that was good enough for most liberal voters... Your guy made a lot of promises, he is the one with the mountain to climb....to put Canada back together after the liberals broke the sh!t of it....and in 2 years time we'll see who made the right choice...and after he spends 650 bil of new spending or investments as he calls them, he'll either be a hero, or a dud...

Are you sure of that....

OK then...

the time period that the campaign was to run was chosen by the liberals for a good reason, i was not long enough for anyone to really get to know carney, i was not long enough for Canadians to see through his campaign, which more than 1/2 was stolen from the conservative...They ran a better campaign, took the wind out of conservatives sails,And conservatives could not figure out how to stop them... Pretty sad reason really i don't like the way he looks or talks ....he did have a much better platform, so good the liberals stole half of it...and if you look at the numbers of who voted conservative, they are not that far off the liberals...PP will not be standing down, at least not today....he is going to have almost 2 years anyways before he will get another chance,long enough for him to refine his character...

US will force Canada to bend the knee and give Alberta what it wants, i mean what will canada do declare war, write up some tariffs....Canada won't last long after Alberta leaves...The US will get its wish and make us the 51 st state.....and the liberals will have given them that.....as other Provinces will join and Canada will be a distant memory.. Canada survival depends on all the provinces being united, if one leaves there will be clasped.... And i doubt very much the clarity act will save anyone if the US forces the issue....

Being able to sing the National anthem, is a low bar, when becoming a canadian citizen, anyone can do it.....Americans have sung our anthem at hockey games....Thats the bar you are suggesting to be a canadian citizen, lets not forget signing a piece of paper as well that makes you loyal to Canada only.... did you forget that on several occasions Canadians have sung the Star spangled Banner at hockey games....does that make them dual citizens...

Poland has purchased more equipment from South Korea than American....including aircraft.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanks_of_the_Polish_Armoured_Forces Yes F-35 are one purchase that makes sense as no one has gen 5 aircraft for sale other than the US, Russians, and Chinese....most of those F-16 owners are buying the F-35 which are few. and are replacing them with F-35's....But there are more Eurofighters in europe than American fighters...Not many Euro nations are using Aegis in fact i can't find any...most euro nations have the euro systems....germany UK, france etc...I think you'll find most nations still use the C-130, but in europe the A400M is becoming much more popular, even the UK has sold their C-130 fleet with Brazils new cargo aircraft also catching european eyes.. very few blackhawks....mostly NH90 European nations are also moving towards a european defence establishment, manufacturing their own weapons, moving away from american and with trump new policies that is really pushing them in that direction...And now that Carney is in Canada will be added to that list...

Not sure why so many Canadians think that avoiding that conflict was one of Canada's best decisions ever...It was sold that way, because the liberals wanted it that way....Aside from that Canadian soldiers, airmen and sailors did play a role in both gulf wars...under a much different operation but directly involved with the gulf wars.... Harper wanted us involved, it made sense it was a massive coalition, but here's the rub, at the time Iraq had much better equipment than we did, no way we could have been involved in high intense combat with Iraq without taking huge losses...Chretien knew that it was his policies "decade of darkness" that put us there....Saying that we could have still played a role in the rear someplace...

yup thats me, still whining.... Well for someone claiming to educated on the subject, it is hard to tell from your posts....dripping with hate and hardly addressing the topic at hand, GOV of BOC does not control Canada's economy, it assists in controlling interest rates and providing advice to government when needed or asked for but then again with your vast knowledge of the subject you knew that already........No where in your sources does it say Carney was instrumental in the crises in 2008....I think that credit goes to Flaherty right and carney made it sound like it was all him....Even got corrected by Harper himself.....was like the old Minster of national defence taking credit for op medusa it's a liberal thing...........or did i miss something........but you go girl....dozens of people on this forum also have the same opinion of you, so maybe it is not me maybe it's you.... you got one glowing review from the FP , i guess i should be bowing down to his greatness, and yet i provided you with over 4 from British sources and 2 from Canadian sources that do not providing glowing reviews but you shrugged them off...because they don't support your augment....i guess we have that in common or so you say... Yes you did quote some sources, good on you, it is a first i've seen you post, and you know what thank you....but they really don't say much do they....

Then i was right your not debating in most cases, but using bandwidth to insult people, it is what you do best....and in 99 percent of your posts that is all you do is offer your opinion with nothing to back them up and thats on a good day, the rest is just insults....and when you get bored it is just all insults....maybe you should step away from this topic as it does look like your the one that does not know WTF your talking about.... I do want to thank you for taking your time to provide sources this time...it must be snowing where you are ... Yes Jim Flaherty commenting on how good carney is, he does after all work for Jim and thats what bosses do, But the question remains what did Carney do other than control interest rates and provide advice....when it was Flaherty that carried that whole file and carney was a small piece of that...But you go ahead and change history it is what the left is good at.....I had already told you that much , instead your painting carney as superman as you and the media does, when he was no more than robin without the cape... I've told you this before as well as provide sources Carney record in the UK is not all that and a bag of tea, as the left portrays...it was lack lustre at best....but you don't like those sources....your like all those that voted for Carney, star struck....the rest of us don't see him as the next liberal god....we see him has someone that will finish the job that justin started....we will wait and see what he does, he is going to be tested to the max, this year and next...i personal hope he succeeds for the countries sake....but justin dug a pretty big hole....

Thats a pretty low bar to be a Canadian citizen,sing O Canada at a hockey game....i guess the bar is always lower on the left than on the right...

yup....you could just check our history....you can use goggle right....it does have a readers version if you can't make out the words...

That member has told the media he volunteered his seat, nobody ask him for his seat...like i said liberal myth... Ya you did is that not your words. i thought you were going to be honest. Political suicide how ? exactly.... No but you do have double standards, how was it Carney got his seat anyways....I mean it's all over the media, but some how thats ok....and what PP is doing is not....OK... When will the conservatives find a leader that will win...sorry my crystal ball is broken, what i do know is carney is not going to be in office for 4 years.... It's your vote,use it any ways you like, you decided to vote liberal you have to live with that, we have already lived through 9 years of liberals wrecking the country, i guess you did not get enough of them .... ....just as i have to live with voting conservative....

He did not kick out another member, thats a liberal myth....that MP volunteered his own seat, as a gesture to the parties leader.... i know foreign concept for the left.... But yes it is in our own rules of democracy, the party leader can ask members to step down....Of course if your a liberal you don't ask you just accuse them of some wrongdoing dismiss them from the party then step in that riding....like you own the place...a lot of double standards going on...

Your talking out your a$$ again,it was liberals that sent us to Afghanistan, and it was Conservatives that brought us out....It was liberals that paid out Omar and his family of terrorist....the list goes on and on....the point the liberal government has sent our military into more conflicts than any other government....

Gen 6 aircraft are already being tested and in the near future will be being produced in low quantities' making anything in the air gen 4 and below obsolete...at least with a gen 5 like the F-35 it is still viable fighter... that is or can be still upgraded...F-35 is already being upgraded very soon that will make the first production aircraft obsolete....Tech is growing pretty fast....Combine this with Canada's long history of flying stuff for 40 plus years....Gen 5 is the only way to go... Gen 6 fighter are going to be very expensive....American version i think was quoted at over 300 mill per copy....mostly it won't be for export any ways....UK/ Japans tempest is supposedly cheaper, closer to 200 mil a copy so far but is a few years behind the Americans...I think that's the project we should be looking into, just for it's R&D and tech sharing aspects, could we afford these well Canadians freaked out at the price of the F-35....which is only 80 plus mil a copy... The Air Force has also previously laid out a plan to buy around 200 of the new NGAD jets, in line with replacing the similarly-sized F-22 fleet. Kendall has said in the past that each one of the aircraft could cost three times the average unit price of an F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, or upwards of $300 million based on publicly available information. https://www.twz.com/air/20-billion-price-tag-to-complete-development-of-usafs-next-generation-fighter

Thats not what i said....i said signing or saying an oath means nothing it proves nothing....certainly not loyalty...I seen men sign the same oath and refuse to fight alongside their own men....it was a good thing our platoon warrant step up and took over the CSM role... and the MCPL took over fighting the Capts LAV....I guess they forgot the part to swear to defend our nation, foreign or domestically... That oath also works both ways my good friend....it means your country will also be loyal to our soldiers, Airmen , and sailors, and give them the equipment they need to do the job....not the cheapest bullshit, or something that provide the most Canadians jobs....but rather brings our members home to their families safe and sound...And i can give you plenty of examples of how our government failed in all of that....Canada is the last nation to be talking about loyalty... And to be honest....My loyalty laid with my soldiers on the right and left of me....my job was to carry out all assigned tasks and mission to the best of my abilities, and bring my troops back home alive....then came my family, then the Regiment, and in distant last place came my country.... You don't have to do nothing of the sort, when the shit hit the fan, me and my troops knew exactly what to do, flip the switch and kill anything that posed a threat...or looked like a threat I did not have to wonder did they have my back, nor did they have to wonder that i had theirs... Not many Canadian soldiers did not step up when asked to, regardless of race, color, creed, political believes, or allegiance, they did so because we were brothers in arms, we stepped up for each other and our families...had nothing to do with Canada at all,...so don't pull that bullshit with me about questioning my allegiance, last thing i was thinking about while i was over there or in a TIC, was my oath, or my country....it was about the soldiers on the left and right of me...be it Canadian or American or British....and trying to figure out how to kill the enemy the quickest way possible..

This is canada terrorist get a free pass....by the left anyways....Conservatives want to ship their a$$ back to where they came from.... Our nation sent us over to places like Afghanistan to give terrorist like the taliban, Al Quadi, and many more a chance to meet Allah face to face more like a travel agent you could say....your tax dollars hard at work... Of course you'll pass it is much easier to be an army critic when you don't have any experience at seeing your heroes in action, and the aftermath they create... one groups cries and wails in the streets and the other dances and sings in the streets....they take turns doing this for centuries...

I'll be honest with you, I do want him to fail, i think it is just a matter of time before we jump back on the climate crises scam, and it ends up costing us more than Justins plan....I mean hard to get rid of that aspect of him he has made a living do just that.... That being said i think he handled trump nicely, he set the tone, for further talks....you can't deal with trump with out some ass kissing, it is who he is, or you get put on a time out....like zelinski but i don't see a deal for awhile, trump has his hands full with bigger fish....he is going to make canada stew a while....finding new markets would be our best bet...

If you can prove it wrong , then by all means do it, (thats what people do in a debate) or is this you offering nothing more than chirping and opinions...

Just a question what exactly did Carney do during the financial crises in harper's cabinet....did he solve it alone, or did the finance minister do all the heavy lifting and now carney is taking credit.... I won't get into his influence in the UK becasue it does not paint a very good picture either according to sources in the UK.......but it seems like the left has hoisted Carney up on their shoulders and pronounced him a hero....OK ....we will wait and see, If the UK deal is anything to go by...your man carney or superman is not going to fix it...

I get it he was born in Canada,which makes him a Canadian ...but thats not how he identifies is it....he's told the media he is a european....last time i checked we are not part of the EU are we...and he had 3 passports....maybe he was going to see how many he could collect, or he just could not decide what he was ....until he came up with the idea to run for office here... He does not fit in to any of your examples, ...he had 3 passports how many parents did he have ? is he european or not ? Does taking an oath make you loyal to whatever your swearing to....No it does not, he did it because it is a requirement of the job....you don't magically become loyal to a nation because you said some words....your forgetting he declared he was a european...not me...he did... Someone has to ask the questions,I know asking them is not allowed ....anyways i didn't really think the left has the answers. They never do, just excuses...

Just a question what US military equipment does European countries buy....Some planes, not naval ships, not musch army equipment....So where do you get the 2/3 figure from ? It used to be that way, decades ago, but europe has it's own defence industry today....and they don't spend any where near 2/3 of their budgets...

Then they will die in the attempt....it is really that easy....when you have lived with terrorism for that long you do what it takes to live a somewhat normal life...you should vist gaza and israel some time...see for yourself...don't worry Palestinians love Canadians they make good hostages...

Did he declare himself a european or not ? before he decided to become Canadian i did not hear him declaring himself as a Canadian did you.....did he have 3 passports or not ? So many questions ?
