herbie Posted March 22 Report Posted March 22 Where the f-ck do peopple get their news from these days? I walked into a group discussion on how "Carney" had already decided to cancel the F35s and buy only Gripens and why that was or wasn't a good idea. No one realized we already hace some F35s, ordered a few more,, and the final decision has not been made. WTF does everyone regard Facebook clickbait as their MSM? Quote

It means you are too naive to grasp the concept that profits motivate people, and if you are not interested in motivating people to build you better weapons, then you will be doomed to do a lot of dying with your inferior weapons.

No, I have a very good understanding of how profits motivate, or don't motivate people. Justify his actions any way you choose, which you obviously do. You've just picked the wrong person to admire.... I don't watch movies, but maybe you should go see that new Spiderman movie I heard about. You need to find a better superhero than the one you found in Trump... Quote

Spider-Man isn't going to be running for the country or presidency anytime soon If you're going to suggest the person that he likes is the wrong person then you would have to obviously put forward a better alternative. And so far everyone the democrats have put forward make trump look good. I don't think you can blame him for that Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

Would still be a better choice than the Superhero wannabe he has today... Nothing can make Trump look good, except for maybe a battle of the wits with you. Quote

Which should have been stunningly obvious to you. I guess in your mind the political leaders of our country and the world are nothing more than fake superheroes? You don't believe they really exist perhaps or you think they're supposed to have super powers? If you're going to tell somebody that they're political person of choice is inappropriate then you need to direct them towards another person of choice who's political that is Why do I keep having to explain things to you as if I'm talking to a five-year-old? Surely to Christ you understand this simple concept 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

ironstone Posted March 23 Report Posted March 23 I'm not too optimistic about how efficient all the new military spending is going to be after watching this. It was a relatively small contract to replace the WW2 surplus rifles used by the Canadian Rangers. The civilian version is around $3100, while the latest update puts DND's cost at $6000 per rifle. Imagine what's going to happen with the multi-billion dollar projects. Lets be honest, governments of all stripes often miss spending targets by wide margins, and the Carney government is proving to be pretty bad at it so far.

Gaétan Posted March 24 Report Posted March 24 Those who don’t want to be forced to drill holes in the ground, eat biscuits, and end their lives killed by a drone should consider voting for parties other than the Liberals and the Conservatives Quote
BeaverFever Posted March 26 Author Report Posted March 26 Quick somebody call nato and tell them about the $400,000 worth of trees they somehow overlooked out of that $63 billion! The conservative “intelligence” network is clearly much more effective than the NATO’s intelligence Canada’s military spending officially hits 2% of GDP, NATO says NATO said Thursday that Canada’s military spending has finally hit the alliance’s target of 2 per cent of gross domestic product, a benchmark set by members years ago. It’s a long-overdue accomplishment for Canada, which has long lagged a NATO alliance spending goal set by members in 2006 and then reaffirmed in 2014. The federal government’s fiscal 2025-26 year spending represents the first time in roughly 35 years that Canada has devoted 2 per cent of its gross domestic product to defence. The last time Canada matched this rate of military spending was the end of the Cold War. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Thursday issued a report on military spending among 32 member countries. It noted Canada is spending more than $63-billion now on defence. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canada-nato-defence-military-spending/ Quote

Well as a point of fact the carney government didn’t issue the contract for those particular rifles but point taken. In any country, military contracts and indeed many government contracts have cost and timeline overruns. That’s also common in the private sector business-to business procurement as well it’s the national of the beast but to a lesser extent. Quote

The trees were only one part of what was being called out as an effort to try to find anything and everything they could scrape up to call defense spending, so they could meet the target. Then you spent days on here and numerous posts spanning pages of this thread, lying about it. Edited March 26 by User 1 Quote
