Ukraine is not in recession.

Canada is.

Read that again.

Ukraine is fighting missiles, blackouts, energy strikes, transport disruption, and a full-scale war.

Canada is fighting Trudeau, Freeland, Carney, and the Liberal Party.

Ukraine took a war-hit Q1 and is still forecast to grow in 2026.

Canada had GDP drop in Q4, flatline in Q1, and business investment fall for 5 straight quarters.

No missiles.

No bombed-out power grid.

No front line.

Just Liberal economics doing what Liberal economics does.

Ukraine has war.

Canada has Liberals.

That is the embarrassment.

I’m told, the USG has made it clear that if the CDN gov reneges on the contract signed by the Trudeau gov in Jan 2023 to purchase 88 x F35A’s in 4 batches, in order to buy a number of Gripen E’s, then 3 things will happen quickly.

1. LM with the full backing of the USG will launch a lawsuit to recover lost funds. When the Chrétien gov did the same thing with EH101 purchase, the CDN gov paid AgustaWestland nearly $1 billion in compensation.

2. CDN based businesses that exist solely to provide various components for the 3 variants of the F35 will have their future parts orders cut by 50%. This will cost them roughly $1.5 billion in revenue.

3. The USG will notify Saab & the Gov of Canada, that they will veto the export permit for the GE F414 engine, making any sale of the Gripen E to Canada impossible.

The Biden admin, threatened this when the sale of the Gripen E to Columbia was announced, the Trump admin followed through with the threat & formally vetoed the use of the engine, which killed the deal.

When the Columbia challenge occurred Saab engineers looked at the cost of using a Rolls Royce engine & concluded it would add $3-5 million USD to the flyaway cost to each Gripen E & add 5-8 years to the delivery timeframe while the airframe was modified & new testing & certification was completed.

Last point, the RCAF has made clear their position, 1 fighter jet & the best option is the F35A, why exactly should short term politics play a roll in a $20 billion dollar purchase that will not be finalized until long after Trump is not just out of office but likely deceased.

Perhaps they should just honour the contract they signed just 3 years ago & as recommended by the very people who risk their lives using the aircraft, no?

The group you keep hearing about in the media, Coastal First Nations, isn't a band.
They hold neither rights nor title.
They're a not-for-profit based in downtown Vancouver started with money from American foundations opposed to resource development.

@ShaneWenzel @billd2025 2 billion in media subsidies tends to buy a degrees of loyalty.

The "unmarked graves" at Kamloops Indian Residential School were found at a depth of 3 feet, running in an east-west direction.

They just so happened to be found in a field with a septic system buried at 3 feet, and running in an east-west direction.

The funny part is Quebec sovereignty is treated by elites as a deep cultural expression of democracy, while Alberta anger is immediately labelled dangerous, foreign-funded, or extremist. Same country. Same federation. Different media script. When elites agree with a grievance, it’s called ‘identity.’ When working people in the West complain, it’s suddenly a security threat.

@AJWVictoriaBC You sound like a poor-man’s Al Gore. Weren’t we all supposed to be under water by 2015?

@JohnLeePettim13 I’m positive that was the main entree on the Gov General’s last flight menu as well.
