LOL no i mean if refugees come hear, resettle them in other countries if they have little or no hope of adequately supporting themselves here.

That's America's plan, we're going to resettle our refugees in Canada.

Trump doesn't have the brains to play checkers, nor the ability to read the instructions to find out nor the attention span to have someone explain it to him.

I didn't advocate for any invasion. The US should have treated 9/11 as a crime and pursued its grievance on court.

 

 

That the US is not above the law.

You just said they should have invaded Saudi Arabia?

Acts of war don't get pursued in court.

Why?  You continually ignore suggestions to sanction and shame anyone we're even remotely allied with. Your ilk can't even bring itself to stop our sales of weaponry to Suadi Arabia.

 

On May 20, 2017, U.S. President Trump and Saudi Arabia's Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud signed a series of letters of intent for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to purchase arms from the United States totaling US$110 billion immediately,^[1][2] and $350 billion over 10 years.^[3][4] The intended purchases include tanks, combat ships, missile defense systems, as well as radar, communications and cybersecurity technology. The transfer was widely seen as a counterbalance against the influence of Iran in the region^[5][6] and a "significant" and "historic" expansion of United States relations with Saudi Arabia.^{[7][8][9][3][10]}

 

Tulsi Gabbard—a Democratic Representative from Hawaii—criticized the move, saying that "Saudi Arabia is a country with a devastating record of human rights violations at home and abroad and has a long history of providing support to terrorist organizations that threaten the American people".^[33][34] Rand Paulintroduced a bill to try to block the plan calling it a "travesty".^[35][36][37]

US defense stocks reached all-time highs after the announcement.^[38][25][39]

Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, is considered the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia and has led many reforms within the country, as well as engendering a number of controversies, including the 2017 arrest of members of the Saudi royal family and the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.

 

Do you really need tanks and missile systems to kill journalists?

Do you think Canadians make warm blankets and comfy slippers for refugees at this LAV plant in London, Ontario (for export to Saudi Arabia) ?

You can thank Harper for that deal.  Which they aren't even paying us for.

In a Jan. 10 town hall appearance in Regina, Saskatchewan, Trudeau said his administration was still looking for a way out of the contract, but he emphasized the desire to honour the government’s commitments. He also cited the aim to protect jobs at a General Dynamics factory in Ontario.

“When the government changes, Canada as a country of the rule of law needs to respect its contracts,” Trudeau said. “We are looking into the export permits, and we are looking for ways to demonstrate that this is not entirely in keeping with what Canadians want, particularly given recent impacts. But it also is a question of the folks who because of this contract have jobs in London, Ontario — good engineering jobs that they felt were secure, that they were building their families on – and now are possibly in a more challenging position.”

As of Jan. 31 General Dynamics had not received hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of payments for the armoured vehicles, something that took a sharp toll on the company’s finances in the most recent quarter.

Canada has been exporting LAVs to the Saudis since the 1990's...long before PM Harper....nice try.

Harper also admitted 20,000+ Iraqi refugees...Syrians, and others.

At the time, General Motors was saying it was going to cost them too much to have to ship the armoured vehicles to the U.S., where they would then be equipped with automatic weapons before being shipped to Saudi Arabia, Epps explained. The criminal code didn’t allow for the export of automatic weapons.

America is happy to move the work to Ohio, America First, freeze the Canadians out, please do.

The refugees in Canada are so concerned about Canadian jobs (and votes) in London Ontario...they hope the American masters do not close the plant down.

The Stryker is obsolete anyways, time for a new platform, the LAV is a death trap.

Might as well if the company isn't being paid for the job imo.  Switch it up to make vehicles for Canadians.  

Canada first!

The refugees want Canada to have a strong economy to pay for all their free services.  

This includes arms exports to many nations, including the United States.

[Dougie93]

Gendyne actually has a newer vehicle, Piranha V, when it was proposed to be the new Close Combat Vehicle for Canada, but the Canadian said they couldn't accept it.

Not because the vehicles were that expensive, simply because the Canadian army doesn't have the infrastructure to run them.

Canada is f@cking pathetic, everybody knows.

Everyone does.  So how does selling arms to countries that dont pay make for a strong economy?

Same way bringing in thousands of unskilled and unemployed refugees makes for a strong economy.

That's why we have minimum wage jobs.  You dont need a lot of skills to work in those positions.  

[Dougie93]

The Canadian economy is moribund, the entrenched interest cartels render it into a fake work make work ghetto, only American corporate welfare is propping Canada up.

I would have kept the Saudi vehicle deal. It was done.  Saudi's would just get it from another country like the USA or Russia and we'd be out money and jobs.  If we stop trading with regimes with poor human rights records we'd have to stop trading will virtually all developing countries which is most of the world.
