RCN vet (long timer). The lunacy, treachery and hate of modern conservatism (or whatever the hell it is now) has made me the anti-conservative I am today.
@Scribulatora Here's what's going to happen. Whether Trump wins or loses, what transpires afterwards will be so abhorrent to most Canadians that the "populist right wing" will become so toxic that the movement will die on the vine. That's my prediction.
@Freedom250 Washington would've been destroyed had it not been for the French. Lacking French support at Yorktown and throughout the war, the Continental Army likely would not have secured the independence of the United States. Vive la France.
⚡️During his 2010–2012 overhaul of the National Mall, President Obama completely modernized the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Instead of wasting millions of gallons of potable city water, the project switched the pool's source to the nearby Potomac River Tidal Basin. To keep it clean, they installed a massive ozone water filtration and circulation system—essentially transforming how the iconic landmark handles water quality and sustainability.
It's obvious Trump removed the filtration system Obama had installed, thus creating a dangerous, toxic pool of algae-ridden water that can make bystanders, pets, and wildlife very ill.
@moneytalkstweet Technology traditionally advances faster than governments can respond to regulating them. Doesn't this bill provide cabinet with a mechanism to respond more quickly? Why is this a bad thing?
@HQNewsNow You forgot the withdraw from USMCA part. Approximately 2 million U.S. jobs are supported by exports to Canada/Mexico under USMCA... including broader supply chain investments/trade ties with Canada alone, the total economic footprint supports upwards of 8 million American jobs.
@MJC880@RealAirPower1 Congress refused because they were worried about a capability gap as the US moves to space based detection systems and because of the money already sunk into the program. You can deny it all you want, but Canada's choice to go with Global Eye was the right choice for Canada.
@MJC880@RealAirPower1 The issues are so pronounced that the U.S. Pentagon attempted to cancel its variant of the program entirely in mid-2025, citing massive delivery bottlenecks and costs ballooning from $588 million to $724 million per aircraft before Congress intervened to restore funding.
@MJC880@RealAirPower1 Because the E7 was designed years ago, engineers must resolve part obsolescence by upgrading outdated mission systems. Combined with supply chain constraints and specialized labor shortages, these integration and certification challenges have severely slowed production timelines.
@MJC880@RealAirPower1 E-7 delays stem from transforming the 737 airframe into a mil platform, not the base aircraft itself. Integrating the heavy, complex MESA radar requires huge structural mods and rigorous safety certs. This has proven far more difficult and time-consuming than Boeing anticipated.
@BrianLee1928112@Angry_Staffer 577 days has been soundly debunked...Trump on the other hand, 25% of his first term on actual holidays and over 22% in his second term.
