@PremierScottMoe Love to see this from Premier Moe. Every day @elonmusk reminds us that those weren’t bullies that tossed him down the stairs as a kid. Those were very predictable consequences.
@mario4thenorth What do Conservative influencers even stand for at this point? Running squealing to a keyboard anytime some negative consequence of Trump’s attacks comes to fruition to pin it on Canada? What an absolutely bleak existence
@krazyrabbi@acoyne@BryanHendry1 Very credible source, that Nutlick fellow. Hear about how he was so creeped out by Epstein, he lost his number? But then he went to the Island and somehow forgot he went there?
The red carpet treatment for MAGA north / Alberta separatist “influencers” at the @CPC_HQ Convention was a huge mistake, as I pointed out to CPC staff at the time.
If they wanted to buy a media or observer pass and “report” from the convention, no worries.
But why would Canada’s founding political party give a platform or special treatment to people consistently siding with those threatening our economy, sovereignty, and unity?
If the Conservative Party is to win a future election, it must clearly distance itself from these toxic anger merchants.
@MarkJCarney Thank you, Prime Minister.
You and your team tried negotiating. But the current American administration is unreasonable.
Thank you for not caving and signing a bad deal.
Our sovereignty must come before any trade deal.
@jamiljivani Ladies and gentlemen this is what being an absolute cuck looks like. Unreal, Jamil. How embarrassing. This is a solemn moment for your family; that’s for damn sure.
@mario4thenorth Mario. If you can’t come up with something better than this, it’s 100% OK to just not post that day. These sad, warped renditions of events demean all of us as Canadians.
@LauraBabcock 100%. And look at how pointing out the most obvious thing in the world triggers these confused wind-up toys to tears. And since they’re actual bots or the human equivalent, they don’t see how spewing irrelevant homophobic drivel here only underscores Hoekstra’s malevolence
The convoy was an attempt by far right to occupy our capital. It was a serious threat then and it’s backers are now. For US Ambassador to host them shows his true intentions for 🇨🇦 and they’re not good. We call him out on The OShow https://t.co/0YhTPBbe7K
This is nonsensical and counterproductive.
Canada is finally getting serious about investing in national defence. This should be welcomed and encouraged by our allies, not attacked.
For the first time since the Cold War, we have achieved the longstanding 2% GDP target, and are credibly moving to the new 3.5% core defence target.
The Blame Canada crowd here is claiming that’s all the result of creative accounting.
Nonsense.
- We have adopted the same framework for scoring defence spending as most of our NATO allies
- The federal budget and estimates show real, material budgeted increases to meet the targets
- We are spending $55 billion to build 15 cutting edge destroyers, part of the larger naval ship building strategy launched by the Harper government
- The RCN is about to launch the procurement of 12 new submarines
- The RCAF is finally about to take possession of our first tranche of F35s as part of the new fighter jet fleet
- Canada is spending tens of $ billions to modernize and expand Arctic military capacity
- The decline in total Canadian Armed Forces personnel has finally turned around, and force size is expanding.
Anyone who works in or close to the Canadian defence sector knows that this is real. Exciting things are happening in defence tech innovation, procurement, industry partnerships, etc.
Canada’s underinvestment in national defence goes back decades under different governments. It was allowed to get to a shameful state, and for too long we have preened about our moral authority while living rent free under the American security umbrella.
It will take time to achieve the ambitious goals of Canada’s defence rebuild. But Prime Minister Carney’s commendable defence reset began just a year ago.
The Permanent Joint Board on Defence has been a key platform for cooperation on North American defence since the Second World War. It has operated in good times and bad: during our joint operations in the Korean and Afghan Wars; during much lower levels of Canadian defence spending; and even when a US President threatened to annex Canada.
Our two countries have shed blood together in the defence of freedom. Geography dictates that we will always need each other to defend North America. So our alliance must be able to stand above occasional tensions in the bilateral relationship.
