The Canadian armed forces are not a joke if/when they become 70,000 armed insurgents, 100,000 police, 30,000 reservists and an untold number of civilians with elk hunting rifles killing invader/occupiers one by one at long distance. A better name for them could be …
The Great White Taliban … they’d beat our ass in Sorels & Toques.
@mindrelic@robfoot You would have said that it is a bad turn of phrase. You did not. Instead you talked about me describing the situation as dying. How that was a poor choice. However, it is an apt way to show sticking to principles.
@provolone_snaps@robfoot Nope. I work for a private entity. They are licensed to operate by the government. Still owned and operated by a private entity. Try again.
@mindrelic@robfoot You accused me of "describing". A description is an indication that it is literal.
A description is a spoken or written statement that conveys the attributes, appearance, structure, or function of a subject.
@mindrelic@robfoot It is a well known turn of phrase. It is not meant literally. However, understanding that would require an improvement of the American education system.
In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.
Let's learn more.

@AngrySilvrback@Robert_E_Kelly 1. I am going off your own words and the context I normally hear "fucked with".
2. It is a literal free trade agreement. By definition we engage in free trade. Both countries commit ongoing violations and go to court for it.
3. You said nothing was done. It was. Cope.
@AshleyEhTaylor@isaiahrmartin Then demonstrate that that is occurring in the sources I have provided. Otherwise it is an empty claim. That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. You are dismissed.
@AshleyEhTaylor@isaiahrmartin I told you that you were not serious. I have provided evidence to show why this is not relevant. You simply refuse to accept it. Since you are not interested in a genuine conversation, I am done.
@AngrySilvrback@Robert_E_Kelly 1. Moving the goalposts. You said fucked with, which implies an intervention.
2. US has violated CUSMA as well

3. The $1.3 billion was the additional funding approved in December 2024.
@AshleyEhTaylor@isaiahrmartin America helps more than Canada
Congratulations, they are 8x our size. There is also a difference in need. Still does not demonstrate that Canada mismanaged anything.

@AshleyEhTaylor@isaiahrmartin What you are saying is nonsense not based in reality. I have provided you data. You have provided nothing. Either present data that shows the opposite of what I have shown or admit you are wrong. You are shifting the conversation to academia because you have nothing.
@AshleyEhTaylor@isaiahrmartin Lol you are not a serious person. I present an AI analysis and you dismiss it. I present evidence and ignore it. Now you are insulting a whole class of people because it challenges your pre-conceived ideas.
