Actually Labatts is not a Canadian owned brewery. Its American....were it's profits go to an America based company. Labatt Brewing Company Limited (French: La Brasserie Labatt Limitée) is a Anheuser-Busch InBev-owned brewery headquartered in Toronto, Ontario,

Statement from lockheed martin, about kill switches...Note what they say about software upgrades, the jets work fine with current software applications, and don't need constant upgrades to remain effective...In other words no kill switches... Lockheed Martin In response to Swiss media reports of similar kill switch concerns, Lockheed Martin published a post on their website on Monday titled 'Switzerland can use their F-35s independently'. The company says that blocking the F-35A fighter jets, through external interventions in the electronics, is not possible. "Switzerland does not need consent if it wants to use its weapon systems or guided missiles for its defence," the post reads. "It can do this autonomously, independently, and at any time". Countries like Switzerland can also decide when they want to upgrade the software of the fighter jets or not, and the missiles remain operational without these upgrades. If a country does want to upgrade, Lockheed said it sends a "mobile team" to carry out the updates with the respective government. Can the US turn off European weapons? Experts weigh in on 'kill switch' fears

Well lets here some of them....you get it your supporting a government that made it their job to lie,cheat,divide this nation, scandal after scandal, Justins scandals' are still being investigated... pocketed tax payers money into their own companies behalf..with some not even knowing what their ethnic background was , so they made it up to get contracts, one guy did not even know his own name on top of his ethnic background, and you got the balls to speak about half truths...I get it all of this plus a shit tonne more does not bother you, you brush it aside because Thats normal behavior for you, Thats what politicians do...and your morals and values are at the same level... You've sold your sole to a guy that is not interested in Canada but his agenda....

So your saying climate change can only be solved by taxing the people, not by any other source,or idea.......And when did the major polluters ever pay for anything, they don't they pass that on to the consumer...like every company in north America...they pass it on to the "consumer"....they don't pay for anything that gets added by the government....ZERO , prove it otherwise. carney has been asked to , and he can't explain it...and he is the banker... DO i think those costs are going to magically disappear....yes i do, trump has wiped out his climate initiatives which will make US goods much more competitive with Canada's...consumers will buy the cheapest goods, it is what they do....why else do we buy so much cheap chinese sh1t...And if you think Canada is going to solve this climate crises you don't have a full deck of cards...This buy Canadians is not going to last forever, once canadians feel the pain from tariffs they will buy the cheapest sh1t...and it won't be Canadian because ours will have all these taxes attached to it...we can't even trade with no tariffs amongst ourselves...

You guys truly amaze me, with your stupidity...Why do you think Carney is going to be any different than the last 8 years, when he is going to be using most of Justin's old staff...it is laughable and sad at the same time , that you can't see, that.... and Carney has been advising Justin for the last 5 years...This is no better than banging your head against the wall expecting different results....All you can do is yell i hate PP...and yet you still have not got past the socks, and don't really care what Carney has said he is going to do.....just that he is much better than PP....nothing is going to change in this country, because we are not smart enough on how to make change happen...

Should i hide under the same bed as you are, we will never become the 51 st state....unless people like you give up... Try again, that is not the main issue, the main issue is with the planning module, which does not make the plane inoperable, does not stop it from flying, and there is a manual option, stop making stuff up...many different manufactures do the same thing withhold rights to software, do you honestly think the Canadian air force has not thought this through, do you think it would but an aircraft that could be shut down...by anyone....really...you grasping straws here...do some research FFS. not sure what your problem is, are you having a stroke are you off your meds,

Hey just get some of the left on this forum to tell you, they worshiped the guy....some even love his socks and his hair....hey it got him the women vote...and the LGBTQ, according to them he is superman, a feminist superman, well maybe a weak spider man....well let Quebec decide maybe the flying green tree frog, he gets a cape, is poisonous to touch, and turns good things into bad...

It is not about addressing trump's behavior, this is about giving Canadian pilots the best aircraft for our tax dollars, who are currently driving 40 year plus aircraft...let politician's fondle themselves, and fight over the political stuff....and lets give our military pilots a running chance the next time our country calls upon them to put their lives on the line...the gulf war was a prime example of that, we did not have the right comms to talk to other nato aircraft, nor did we have smart munitions, all we had was basic dumb bombs, and air to air missiles....it was embarrassing..The F-35 is the best aircraft for the best price, canceling this would be cutting off your nose despite your face...the Euro fighter is the only non american fighter with any merit but is way more expensive to purchase ,by more than 40 mil a copy more... Along with that F-35 most air weapons are made in America do we cancel them as well, to make a point that in 3 and a bit years this guy is going to be gone....and we will have these aircraft for 40 plus years...

Somehow Michael i don't think trump gets messages...he is good at sending them, just not receiving....his mailbox is full.

Not even sure what you're implying here, that obsolete equipment is just as worthy as the latest modern equipment is....Well lets take a look at the 1 st gulf war, US abrams tanks did not suffer any losses to Iraq's T-72 was that just luck, maybe iraqi tankers were shitty shots, or maybe the M-1 abrams was a much superior tank....i got examples if you need them....modern equipment saves lives, it gives an advantage on the battlefield why would you not want that for our military people, why do you hate them so much.... Well you danced, i showed you a few things one that we are the second highest paid military in the world....But i can show you dozens of examples of military trades not up to civilian counterparts income.... MP's do not make 1/2 of what local policing departments or RCMP make....lets not even talk about what RCMP officers made in Afghanistan for their teaching jobs....thats after some joe walked off the street and put in 4 years as a officer where they start off at 71,000 a year and within 36 months up to 115,000....Note this is base pay not including any benefits over time etc.... https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/salary-and-benefits Government is looking at ways to bring their spending to 2.% of GDP this would be on e option, pay raises...plus new benefits more in line with the RCMP Every Canadian citizen is free to apply for the forces, or for that matter any public service job. with exception of those not medical qualified...Forces are crying for people, can take in thousands....Not many civilians jobs meet any Military standards....No over time, you could be forced to work days on end no nappy, very few are asked to sign on to unlimited liability, meaning doing your job could result in your death...so your comparison is not even close to the truth , I'm starting to think your career was totally in the office on the ground. Anyone regardless of trade while in a conflict zone is in danger of losing life and limb...take a look of that Buffalo flight over Syria, that was shot down those men and women were on a peace keeping mission....so cut the crap and down playing risks military members face on a regular basis... Yes americans get paid less, but they also have many benefits that we do not, subsidized housing, family health care plan, education plans, subsidized food, cloths, house hold furnishing everything available in their PX. plus many more... Many companies provide free housing for employees , like the oil patch,US military, most other militaries... Canada use to until someone complained now PMQ rent is based on what ever the local economy is charging... for homes built in the early 50's Also the military need housing to fulfill need of the military, since no one gets a choice of where they get posted take edmonton alberta, not many service members can afford a million dollar plus home on civvy street, so they stay in PMQ's of which there is a limited amount...it use to be a rule so many members had to be in PMQs so they could be recalled faster, very few people actually lived off base....today housing has outpaced soldiers wages, like in toronto, edmonton, Vancouver, ETC...again why do you hate them so much...besides this is another option that even our military and liberal government has agreed to invest in...i think they would know much better than you or i.... Well SAR equipment is not going to war is it....having civy maintain equipment is a huge red flag, if we need to save money....maybe it is because Aircraft mechs are hard to come by, the army and navy are not the only ones feeling a man power crunch....Troops do cost a lot, hence why we need to increase our budget and fulfill our NATO obligations, not to mention all the other agreements we have signed on to...

Again no one can disable anything, that's false news, and yes they have control over software, something most companies have, that produce high grade military equipment, like a US nuclear sub where all major maintenance has to be done by the US...it is to protect the product from others that do not have access to it...

F-35 can not be disabled by the US or for that matter anyone else, do you really think our air force would buy a fighter that can be turned off....It is false news............The US controls software updates, which require US approval, like every piece of equipment it sells, who ever thought of the turn off switch is smoking high grade... Believing such a thing would even be possible, is lacking some critical thinking skills...

please explain how PP is vulnerable to trump, more than say carney ? Lets not forget the liberals have brought us to this point in time, what makes you think that they NOW they can swing it all around....when they failed to do anything in the last 8 plus years...it is basically the same people that will be under carneys charge....how many times do we have to beat our heads on the same wall trying to get different results.... we need change, not the same old stuff from the liberals, who really have not explained how we are going to get to the objective nor have they explained why they have taken over the conservative platform....because they don't have any original ideas...

Why would we cancel a program for the air force that is a 5th generation aircraft, that is now the cheapest and best on the market, the only NON american fighter that is worth anything is the Euro fighter which is far more expensive , and is only a 4.5 generation which it's replacement is being worked on as we speak. This has the makings of some dumb liberal decision, like our canceling our maritime helicopters contract or justins saying no he would not buy f-35 in the first place...., it would take years to pick a new fighter and get a place on the production line, at double the costs....why would that make sense.... because you don't like trump, he is going to be gone before our first F-35 aircraft is operational.

You forgot single handedly solved the financial crises' of 2008, says he is a european,not Canadian, has constantly lied on his campaign, (which the left prefers) i get it he is superman without a cape... the upcoming election his true colors are going to come out, may the best man win....I'm just wondering what exactly were Justin's qualifications again...other than his last name....didn't he win 3 times...

Thats the problem with you , you fail to see the dangers in going into battle with equipment my father used during his service, I've seen first hand soldiers die because the equipment is sub par, made by the cheapest bidder...Had you experience that you most likely would have a much different opinion about what is complaining and what is asking for change. You are doing just that, if not why even mention it...don't worry it is the last sign of becoming a liberal.... Not even the same thing.... Yes, imagine what they could do with modern equipment, or get this bringing back capabilities we have lost which is to many to list , imagine what they could do with new PMQ's and family centers, imagine what they could do with pay raises, imigine what they could do with money for training, imagine what they could do with the respect from Canadians... Canada has forgotten about our military long ago, they have forgotten to have their backs when our government mistreated them, Today there is a resurgence of bringing our military to the forefront, and it is not from Canadians it is from Trump, and pour NATO allies, Canadians are being forced to look at our current state because they have been slapped in the face...and would much rather have a high speed rail, or another social program....So don't puff your chest out and tell me what the post really is about, when Chadians have long forgotten that we even have a military... Canada’s defense is in crisis and Trump just made it worse Anpother guy complaining , this guy is an air force guy... go figure...

Good , glad you thought it all out....but if your serious about climate change why not green party...

you proved nothing, most of your posts your complaining about something, now you don't like what i have to say and want to shut it down....sorry little fella it ain't going to happen, you can grin and bear it or ignore me....i will continue to point out the military's shortfalls until someone fixes them.... RCR's have a saying NEVER PASS A FAULT.....

They have also done a lot of things, mismanage almost every federal file, plenty of scandals, lied to Canadians, pocketed taxpayers funding into their own companies, not to mention other thefts, screwed up immigration, border security, military, RCMP' the whole security apparatus really, got your passport yet, spending , climate change, it would be quicker to list the thing they did right...Pot....got rid of Justin...

Well there is lots to complain about the military, the fact the entire country has been doing it for well decades, and i'm not the only once there been 5 or 6 generals doing the same thing a few of them are still serving...your the one with your head in the sand, when everything that is wrong with the military is due to this liberal government, nothing gets fixed unless people start complaining and others take action.... what do you care it's not your military, but for me Thats not my choice both my son and daughter are serving and i want don't them to face the same life threatening things i did...i know what a f*cking idea to still care about the institution that gave me everything.... Like i said before theri is the ignore feature you don't have to read anything that i post, nor am i forcing you to reply....just let it go man....you do this with most posters , just use up pages upon pages saying nothing really except trade barbs...I'm not here for that...have a good day sir...

Maybe you can show me where i berated anyone in this post....this is you not having anything productive to say, so your bouncing back on some retarded statement you dreamt up....if your not going to engage in a decent manner then stop responding to my posts, your starting to sound like political smash or worse. Like i said before this has got nothing to do with the troops and has everything to do with the Liberal government...who was in charge for almost 9 years and failed to do what was needed....Your the one here thats been defending those actions, like it some how benefited the country and the forces... Pointing the fingers again, conservatives did nothing so we should get a pass as well....i have been vocal against conservatives for the same issue in the past....but this is not about pointing fingers it is about making a choice not to do anything for 9 plus years.... Our days as a lagard nation are almost gone....we are going to be forced to step up to the minimal standard.. It is my military and always will be, my obligations did not end when i retired, my oath does not have an expiration date....many retired RCR's are very connected to the Regiment, still going to mess dinners, still attending BN functions, even used as source of information to developed new tactics or teach old ones...Now maybe being in the SAR tech family they just give you one retirement dinner and you're gone...not so in the Infantry, we are a Royal up until we die and have a regimental funeral.... Federal government has responsibilities to the people of Canada to ensure it borders and Canadians are safe.. once this is done then they can spend on fancy social programs....because they failed we see the result in the US tariffing the f*ck out of us right now...Those are the priorities... those are the basic bills that must be paid...and while they may not be popular they still are priority, before anything else... we will see in the near future exactly what it is going to cost Canadians to bring this responsibilities to the forefront...

There is more to being united than buying a flag, and cursing trump....Most Canadians are pissed at the fact this is going to hit them in the pocket book, that and they don't like being told what to do by another nations' leader even if it was our fault in the first place...Then thee is the fact that Alberta is threating to leave if Carney becomes PM, or Quebec saying no way to pipelines, or the fact we still have many inter provincial tariffs in place, sounds united to me... If anything the lack of leadership shown by justin Canadians have gotten use to the fact we don't really have leadership to follow...and it has nothing to do with being able to tell bad from good, its has everything to do with what can the government give me today...We have already been exposed to trump 1.0 and china tariffs, back then we talked a good talk about diversifying our trade partners, even talks about interprovincial trade...once tariffs were lifted and the all clear sounded, Canadians forgot everything, and today we are going through the same thing, lots of talk going on...about pipelines, borders, arctic security, new carbon taxes, lifting provincial tariffs, everyone singing kum ba ya.... Trump has twice made us see what our shortfalls are, most Canadians agree with the solutions....and yet after the election what do you think is going to get done....to prevent this from happening again... You should be happy with how things are going for PP....we will see shortly after the election...who wins....

This is just another reason to diversify our economy, apparently we did not learn our lessons from Trump 1.0 or china 1.0 now we get a double whammy....i really hope whoever takes over that we put some of these plans into place....

Nope pretty much shows that canadians could not see leadership if it beat them in the ass, he had great hair and socks, and might even been able to teach a drama class...the bar was set pretty low...and his replacement not much better except this guy thinks he knows our economy...he certainly knows how to bullsh!t...

Look everyone of the experts say the election is coming very soon....If the liberals are in the front of the polls good for them. we will see, come after the election who will govern the country or not....I hope the Liberals lose for personal reasons, I'm also hoping that Alberta does not to leave the union as smith has said....., which will give the US an opportunity to pick them up...which is a huge red flag as we are not as united as we think we are....and once that happens what do you think the future holds for the rest of the country....
