I spent the last 9 years of my military service as a Contracts Sgt and WO for the CAF in Construction Engineering, and created and signed literally hundreds of contracts.

I can assure you, this WILL NOT make things cheaper for us spending wise.

I remember the added costs of over $21K to a simple playground structure in Cold Lake due to the increase in steel prices back in 2012. The steel came from across the border. There were delays while we got additional funding, then another cost increase, more funding requests, more delays.......

Imagine the added costs of buying tools, equipment, etc from Europe or China.

This is NOT something those with TDS should faulter on.

It is only going to cost our soldiers and taxpayers much much MORE in the end.

Letters Home From The Trenches: Ronald MacKinnon
On April 6, 1917, he wrote a letter home to his father in Canada, and talked of preparations for an upcoming battle.
Three days later, he died at the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

@NickKristof @Pontifex Is he talking about Liberal progressives? Illiberals?

Carney going after Remembrance Day wreaths to save money is pretty low. These heroes get one day a year. Not a season, not a month, one day. They deserve better.

EU 90% climate cut by 2040: won't happen

Either EU fudges the stats or

• Cost will rise so fast and high that most governments will be voted out

• The rest of the world will sail past the EU, laughing

• The actual climate impact will be trivial

Sad obsession

[Warsaw Rising Museum @WarsawRising44]

"In October 1944, the Warsaw insurrection had already been quenched, General Bór was a prisoner of the Germans, and the Red Army was still crouched outside the gates of Warsaw, contentedly watching while the Nazis destroyed the patriot organization whose ruin was so fervently desired by the Soviet Government."

Reported today that entry level white collar jobs have declined by 31.9% since the launch of ChatGTP. This is only the start of the slaughter of middle class professional employment. Elite overproduction will really bite now. Universities should be panicking as well.

REPORT @NRCan:
Two climate programs launched on $300 million promise of new jobs and lower emissions could prove neither after 7 years. Managers “stopped collecting” data that would establish whether taxpayers received value for money.

Trump/Carney/Reality and Pierre Trudeau

#TradeTalks

Pierre Trudeau’s "third option" was a significant Canadian policy initiative from the early 1970s that sought to reduce Canada’s economic dependency on the United States. In response to unpredictable U.S. trade actions—most notably President Nixon’s 1971 imposition of a 10% surcharge on imports, including those from Canada—Trudeau’s government recognized the risks of over-reliance on a single, dominant trading partner.

While the third option did lead to the creation of important Canadian institutions and some reduction in foreign (mainly U.S.) control over parts of the economy, it did not fundamentally alter Canada’s deep trade dependency on the United States. In fact, over time, U.S. dominance in Canadian trade increased, culminating in the eventual negotiation of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement in the late 1980s.

Carney is, once again, trying to defy geography, physics and history all at the same time.

[Mandeep Dhaliwal @MDHALIWAL4BC]

Spending $1 billion earmarked for Canadian infrastructure—only to outsource the work to China.

Meanwhile, BC shipyards remain idle and skilled workers go without jobs, as public funds support a foreign economy that imposes tariffs on ours and undermines our industries.

This isn’t just bad policy—it’s economic self-sabotage.
