I absolutely believe Canada should have the ability to defend ourselves. I believe Ukraine and Iran both serve as great examples here. Canada should partner with Ukraine on drones - we help fund their war, and they teach us what they know, so we can build them domestically for our own use as well.

If Canada ever finds itself in a conflict where an F-18 won't do, we are so fucked, I absolutely cannot comprehend how a handful of super-expensive F-35 jets could ever materially impact the outcome of any such situation. Their crazy expense makes the opportunity cost too great.

Third, I want PRACTICAL equipment, not fancy $100 million foreign tech-bro F-35 fighter jets. I do not want submarines! I want APC's. I want practical (Huey-style) workhorse helicopters. I want regular old military ships that can also deliver supplies, and icebreakers! Made in Canada by Canadians.

Second, I want to equip our military using equipment MADE IN CANADA. This investment should drive our own industry - where the primary builders are PUBLICLY OWNED corps, supplied by a network of private industry. I want these crown corporations to hire thousands of graduates from our schools.

First off, I want to equip our military in ways that are useful not just for fighting foreign wars, but for helping out domestically as well - fighting fires, floods, coast guard response, and things like this.

You know what, I'm a woke far-lefty, and I'm perfectly fine with 5% of Canada's GDP spent on our military. Hell, I'd even do 10% if you want! But... 🧵

Everything they don't like is Woke and DEI. Real Americans burn petrol, and everyone else needs a testosterone injection.

This. I've really appreciated a lot of what Charlie's had to say in the past, but this is really disappointing to see. It doesn't make any sense at all to spend billions on military equipment from the country that's the largest threat to our sovereignty currently. I'm also with Lewis.

By applying for a cheaper listing in my apartment building, I was able to get the rent for my 1-bdrm reduced from $2750 to $2400, meaning it's now only $1000/month more than what I was paying for a TWO bedroom in downtown Edmonton, before I moved here. Phew! Crisis over!

That entire statement was perfect. Every point. Thank you.

The people advocating forced treatment think your "90" days is missing at least one zero, probably two.

Really? Because then we'd have HOUSING, and now we have NOTHING. That's why.

It's a "COPE out", and it's not "either ORR" 😆 Why does one have one bring down the other, and you can't just build housing now and continue to fight for the renter protections later? Now we have neither.

OMG, this is so awful. I'm so sorry. He's been a daily highlight of my experiences on this site. This is so sad 😢

It's an American tourism company, Pursuit, which has now bought up a 90% monopoly over all of Canada's Banff/Jasper (Rocky Mountains) national park attractions.

Are you aware all this "canada strong" stuff has been co-opted by the far right for a very long time? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_...

There's a beautiful canyon on the Icefields Parkway from Jasper National Park to Banff, where at the one lookout point, they let a private tour company put up a glass walkway and WALL THE REST OF THE PLACE OFF to keep anyone who doesn't pay from viewing it.

"Hey guys, thanks for reaching out. May I ask you please supply me a copy of the org chart with a red line depicting which level of seniority entitles employees to have opinions and express those publicly, like both of you have. Thank you."

Wearing any of this in public is asking for a fight, and you'll deserve what you get.

Dear CEO's, most of your money is stolen, and rightfully belongs to the working class, and we're coming to take it back.
