Canada is just begging to be Annexed

[paxamericana]

Refusal to buy the F35 and defend NORAD stands in clear contrast to our joint effort. The task is simple, if you won’t defend your own damn airspace we’ll do it for you. So sit down.

Na...when it comes to procurement the defense department has the same shelf life as a McDonald's burger.

Got to wait for the Alka Seltzer to take effect.

No, Canada is it's own worst enemy with it's incompetent, corrupt government. I admit that this incompetent, corrupt government is popular with most Canadians though.

We are fine thanks. We are not the ones fighting with everyone.

Our weak economy and problems in other areas are not indications that we are 'fine'. And those problems are not the fault of the US either, they are largely self inflicted.

If you know anything at all about Prime Minister Carney, know that he has the vast majority of his investments with American companies, including Lockheed Martin.

This talk about the F35 purchase being 'under review' is just a tactic to make low information voters in Canada think Carney is standing up to big bad bully Trump. It really does help to drive up his polling numbers.

Gentlemen, it’s time for a regime change in Ottawa. Canada could use more freedom.

Or he can just turtle like Poilievre and watch his polling numbers tank.

Canada has been involved in the F35 program for the last 30 years and committed to 88 aircraft in 2023.  Get out of your bunker every now for fresh air.  The stale air depravation is clouding your senses.

Thanks for your roundabout way of admitting I'm correct about the Liberal 'under review' tactic.

Any idea why they say 'it's under review'....  Is it Carney buying more LMT stock on the dips, or....?

Can't even point out an example, so just make the accusation over and over hoping someone will believe it.
Keep pointing at China and India so others might ignore 99% of interference in internal affairs has come from the USA since 1776.

Weak per capita GDP compared to the US. Our GDP was driven in no small part due to mass immigration and the decade long hiring spree in the public service. About 1 in 4 jobs in Canada are government related. 

A doubling of the debt. Reckless spending with poor oversight.

The number of foodbanks since 2015 has more than tripled, with 2.2 million monthly visits.

Homelessness, crime.

What can you boast about in the Liberal record since 2015? And please don't respond with 'oh but that was the previous government...this is the NEW government!'.

Arguably Kanada needs to demonstrate more unity, internationally. 

A legal challenge to Quebec's secularism law, known as Bill 21, will be heard at the Supreme Court of Canada beginning Monday, and legal experts say whatever the eventual ruling, it will have a profound effect on constitutional law in Canada and specifically the notorious 'notwithstanding clause' which shields legislation from court challenges over violation of fundamental rights. 

So, political hacks can  do an end-run around the Constitution with the notwithstanding clause? 

The U.S. might renege on making Kanada a territory of the U.S. if this gets out - no doubt believing the juice isn't worth the  political squeeze.

Shockingly no, if any reneging happens, it’ll be b cause of how destitute Canadians are and if America even want to pay for 40 million people(liberals) equivalent of Mississippi

haha

no comparison ....the state has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980.

Speaking as one of the destitute Canadians with only half a company pension, are you not the one whining that you can't afford a house, can only afford one old beater and no gas?
Did 6 months of diabetes meds cost you $13 and a week in hospital for emergency surgery coat you $21?

Come on, use all that money you spent on aircraft carriers and JDAMs and come 'n git us! You can make 1,000 movies about your glorious campaign to go see.

The more important metic when evaluating the strength of an economy, isn't GDP per capita but in the relation between GDP and national debt and Canada's is better 

As a real world example, imagine person A makes 65 thousand dollars  yearly ("GDP") and has monthly expenses("dept") mortgage, car payments ect. totaling 15 hundred dollars and person B makes 100 thousand dollars a year has 45 hundred dollars in monthly expenses . Person B has a higher income ("GDP") yet at the end of the year person A will in reality have more money in the bank.

This is basic economics
