BeaverFever Posted March 16 Author Report Posted March 16 1 hour ago, User said: More of your usual BS framing. YOU tried to claim there was no special program for tree planting. I never said anything about the "entire" thing, you simply tried to deny it at all. Now, after the repeated denials, you are only left with trying to claim it was still a legitimate NATO expense. Liar. I CORRECTLY said THE CANADIAN MILITARY doesn’t have a special tree planting programs. And I CORRECTLY said that any country’s military even in Donald Trumps America normal maintenance and upkeep of military bases and housing including any trees planted as a result is a legitimate NATO expense. You are the one twisting and turning trying to defend a false accusation based solely on the headline of a politically motivated article you didn’t even read. So you just repeat your zero-fact accusations over and over even though I have soundly debunked and buried your claim in facts. It’s pathetic Your whole MO on this site is that no mater how badly your argument is eviscerated you never have to admit defeat you just repost your debunked claims and wait for the other person to get tired of repeating themselves.

Legato Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 4 hours ago, BeaverFever said: Meanwhile back in reality another day another big defence spending announcement Minister McGuinty Announces Strategic Investments in Sovereign Space Launch From: National Defence News release March 16, 2026 – Ottawa – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces Amid a more complex and unpredictable security environment, Canada is taking decisive actions to strengthen its security and sovereignty and to reinforce the resilience and long-term strength of the country. Today in Ottawa, the Honourable David J. McGuinty, Minister of National Defence, announced an historic $200 million investment in core infrastructure for a Canadian-owned spaceport, along with other major new space-related capabilities and initiatives. This marks a significant step forward in Canada’s sovereign space program as outlined in Security, Sovereignty, Prosperity: Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy. Canadian-owned spaceport Demand for timely and resilient launch options are at historic highs worldwide and sovereign access to space has become a critical capability underpinning national security, economic competitiveness, and reliable access to essential space‑based services. The investment is a 10‑year, $200‑millionagreement to lease a dedicated space‑launch pad that will serve as the central foundation for a multi-user spaceport near Canso, Nova Scotia. Operated by Maritime Launch Services, this spaceport will support the operational needs of the Department of National Defence (DND), the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), and the wider Government of Canada, while also offering ad hoc access to allies and partners. Launch the North Minister McGuinty also announced was the selection of innovators for the first round of the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program’s Launch the North contest. This contest is providing $105 million in multi-year grants to support the development and demonstration of breakthrough technologies to advance Canada’s sovereign space launch capabilities. The goal of this challenge is to enable the launch of Canadian payloads from Canadian soil, achieving an initial light lift operational capability by 2028. For the first round of this contest, the following three highly ranked applicants have each been conditionally approved for $8.3 million in funding: NordSpace – NordSpace Tundra Canadian Responsive Scalable Launch Canada Rocket Company - Canadian Sovereign Launch Capability Development (R1) Reaction Dynamics - Aurora-8 Responsive Launch Vehicle These innovators will move their ideas from concept to prototype and testing, helping Canada build the technical readiness and partnerships required for a future sovereign launch capability. NATO STARLIFT In recognition of Canada’s firm commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Minister McGuintyannounced that Canada intends to become a full member of the NATO STARLIFT initiative. STARLIFT is a NATO High Visibility Project, which aims to develop a more resilient, responsive and cost-effective network of space launch capabilities to help Allies launch assets at short notice from spaceports across the Alliance. Sovereign launch program These announcements support Security, Sovereignty, Prosperity: Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy, which establishes a long-term framework to develop a robust Canadian defence industry that provides technological and operational advantage to the CAF and its security partners in their mission to defend Canada, and maximizes growth, job creation and economic benefits for all Canadians. Within the strategy, space launch is identified as a key sovereign capability. Canada is taking a major step toward securing its future in the rapidly evolving space domain by advancing a core pillar of its emerging sovereign launch program, first outlined in Budget 2025. This effort positions the country to launch satellites and payloads from Canadian soil, on Canadian‑built rockets, at Canadian‑run facilities. The sovereign launch program outlines how Canada will leverage a variety of tools, including directed procurements, grant and contribution programs, support from Crown Corporations, and regulatory changes, to advance sovereign capabilities. As global demand for space launch services continues to surge, countries around the world are investing in responsive, reliable, and independent space access. Canada’s decision to partner with Maritime Launch Services reflects a forward‑looking commitment to our security, sovereignty, and economic prosperity, while positioning itself to meet strategic needs and fuelling domestic innovation and industry growth. Quotes “Today, we build on Canada’s proud legacy as a nation of innovators, explorers, and builders. With this step, we are not only advancing our capabilities here on Earth—we are reaffirming our place among the spacefaring nations shaping the future beyond it. Because in the decades ahead, our security, our prosperity, and our sovereignty will increasingly extend beyond our atmosphere. Canada will be there. Ad Astra Defendimus” The Honourable David J. McGuinty, Minister of National Defence “Space is fundamental to modern military operations. The Canadian Armed Forces rely on space-enabled capabilities for everything from communications and navigation to awareness of the operating environment. Strengthening Canada’s ability to operate in space will help ensure we continue to build the warfighting capabilities needed to defend Canada and contribute to allied operations in an increasingly complex security environment.” General Jennie Carignan, Chief of the Defence Staff “Located on Canada’s Atlantic coast, Spaceport Nova Scotia offers safe over-ocean launch corridors and access to highly sought-after orbital inclinations, providing a unique capability that only a limited number of global launch locations can support. Spaceport Nova Scotia helps address a global launch capacity bottleneck, where demand for access to orbit continues to outpace available launch infrastructure.” Stephen Matier, President and CEO, Maritime Launch Services Inc. “Space is strategically vital to modern defence and represents a major economic opportunity for Canada. With world-class capabilities across our space ecosystem, Canada must adopt policies and make investments that enable our space industrial base. A key step is further developing a sovereign space launch capability in Canada, ensuring we can support growing global demand while protecting both our economic and national security interests.” Brian Gallant, CEO of Space Canada "This selection is a clear signal that the Department of National Defence recognizes the urgent need for a scalable, sovereign pathway to orbit. At Canada Rocket Company, we've assembled a team with over 100 years of combined orbital launch experience - bringing world-class Canadian talent back home to secure Canada’s strategic autonomy through assured access to space. This funding provided through the IDEaS program helps accelerate development timelines and further catalyzes private investment in the space sector." Hugh Kolias, Chief Executive Officer, Canada Rocket Company "Today, our nation has sent an unequivocal signal that Canada too will become a spacefaring nation capable of assured access to space. For NordSpace, sovereign launch is certainly about securing our national interests, building a stronger economy, and supporting our allies. However, it is also about healthier food on our plates, clearer communication with loved ones, faster responses to environmental challenges, reshoring advanced manufacturing, and revivifying Canadian dynamism. At NordSpace, we have been working for years to develop scalable end-to-end space launch capabilities for Canada, so we thank the Government of Canada and IDEaS for accelerating our company to launch the north." Rahul Goel, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, NordSpace “The moment has arrived. For nearly a decade, Reaction Dynamics has championed a new class of launch capability: storable, stockpiled, and Canadian-controlled. Thanks to the Department of National Defence through the IDEaS program, its Launch the North challenge now brings that vision to life, ensuring Canada and its allies can access space even in the most contested domains.” Bachar Elzein, Chief Executive Officer & Chief Technical Officer, Reaction Dynamics Inc. Quick facts Budget 2025 announced an investment of $182.6M over the next three years to establish a sovereign launch program. That program includes capability development, led by DND’s Defence Research and Development Canada, and launch infrastructure, led by the Royal Canadian Air Force and supported by DND’s Assistant Deputy Minister (Infrastructure and Environment). Reliable and independent launch access will enable Canada to place critical satellites into orbit even during global uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, or disruptions in foreign launch markets. With military, emergency response, and government services increasingly dependent on space-based systems, sovereign launch protects national interests and enables continuity of operations. The 10-year lease agreement stipulates that Maritime Launch Services must provide a dedicated launch pad and associated services at an initial operational capability state by the end of 2026. It also stipulates that 90% of the funds received by the company from the lease must be spent in Canada. That means at least $180 milliongoing back to Canadian businesses. IDEaS is DND’s innovation program that helps Canadian innovators develop solutions to defence and security challenges through competitive funding and targeted challenge calls. The IDEaS program’s Launch the North is designed to accelerate Canadian space launch-related innovation and to strengthen the foundations needed for future sovereign launch capability. A total of $105 million is planned for investment in this challenge, with $25 million allocated for fiscal year 2025–26, followed by $40 million annually in fiscal years 2026–27 and 2027–28. Projects were selected through a competitive, merit-based process considering criteria such as technical merit, feasibility, team capability, impact, and alignment with defence and security priorities. The global space economy is expected to reach approximately $2 trillion by 2040. Investing in sovereign launch capability now means that Canadians and their businesses can benefit for decades to come. This investment supports a stronger, more connected Canadian space ecosystem—bringing together industry, academia, and research organizations. They will help grow high-value jobs, strengthen Canadian supply chains, and position Canadian firms to compete in the global space economy—while supporting defence and security objectives. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/news/2026/03/minister-mcguinty-announces-strategic-investments-in-sovereign-space-launch.html 200 million over 10 years, wow what an enormous sum. How will Canada be able to bear that. Raising the dildo tax again I suppose. Or cutting the overseas spending for multiple personality knee jerking and undersea pottery classes. 1 Quote

BeaverFever Posted March 17 Author Report Posted March 17 Weapons buying under PM Carney an 'eyewatering increase' for Canada: Desjardins From a satellite-maker to a company that helps underwater drones tell the difference between a rock and a naval mine, Canada’s humble military supply sector is lighting up the stock market as investors eye billions in new government spending. A new report by Desjardins notes an “eyewatering increase” in weapons purchases since Prime Minister Mark Carney took office last year. As tension mounted with the United States, Ottawa in 2025 committed to its biggest military spending hike since the Second World War. Overall, $81.8 billion in new spending over five yearswas earmarked to strengthen the Canadian Armed Forces. Carney’s decision to tap former Goldman Sachs banker Doug Guzman to deploy those funds through a new government agency boosted enthusiasm among investors when it was announced last year, waking up a historically sleepy corner of Canada's stock market. Desjardins deputy chief economist Randall Bartlett says, so far, the deployment of dollars is living up to the hype. “One of the most surprising contributions to the advance in domestic demand in Q4 2025 was the eyewatering increase in government investment in weapons systems,” he wrote in a research note on Friday. “In inflation-adjusted terms, Canadian purchases of weapons jumped more than 800 per cent quarter-over-quarter annualized at the end of the year relative to Q3. That follows a more than 1,300 per cent advance [in] the prior quarter.” According to Statistics Canada figures cited by Desjardins, the federal government’s real spending on weapons systems in 2025 was nearly double its historic peak reached in 2010 during the War in Afghanistan. “If spending on weapons systems in 2026 looks anything like it did in the second half of 2025, this year could see the largest share of output going to defence in at least the last 65 years,” Bartlett wrote. Statistics Canada’s definition of military weapons systems is broad. It spans “vehicles and other equipment such as warships, submarines, military aircrafts, tanks, missile carriers and launchers.” Government accounting spreads these investments over the life of the asset, rather than booking the expense all at once. Single-use items, such as bullets and missiles, as well as structures, such as military bases and airports, are not included. … https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/weapons-buying-under-pm-carney-an-eyewatering-increase-for-canada-desjardins-150812340.html More “trees” for the lying right wing twats Quote

BeaverFever Posted March 18 Author Report Posted March 18 1 hour ago, I am Groot said: My understanding is that virtually all the money announced last Friday had already been announced in 2022, and much of it isn't for the military at all, but for civilian infrastructure. Space investments? LOL Just a gift from the taxpayers to Carny's friends in corporate Canada. Whats funny is that the Carney Derangement Crowd is trying to have it cake and eat it to. When they pledge the money you say “that doesn’t count it’s just a promise they won’t keep, they will never actually spend the money”. When they keep the promises and spend the money you say “doesn’t count that’s money they promised previously” Yes Trudeau promised generally at a high level to spend that money and Carney followed through to actually plan and execute that spending. And it’s “dual use” infrastructure that military wouldn’t be able to operate in the arctic without. So feel free to credit one or both. Corporate Canada are the bad guys now? What kind of conservative are you? And you doubt the military and strategic value of having sovereign capabilities in the space domain? Quote

And it's not military. Thanks for clearing that up, party man. And he hasn't actually spent it yet. 12 minutes ago, BeaverFever said: Corporate Canada are the bad guys now? You apparently haven't read anything I've written over the last few years about corporate Canada. 12 minutes ago, BeaverFever said: What kind of conservative are you? And you doubt the military and strategic value of having sovereign capabilities in the space domain? A solid one. And absolutely fukin yes.
