@AmazingZoltan Just remember, Sputnick was pushing the Canadian convoy before even Fox News, and it just happened to go to Ottawa right before Putin invaded in 2022.
@JessieTweeting Ask yourself, if you were Ukraine, how would you take Crimea swiftly and with few casualties?
In a way that scares the Russians into conceding?
What tech, training, preparation would be required?
@tylermeredith@NoahGairn@CDNPolicyHawk@JessieTweeting we used to build GPUs in Canada with ATI.
Leaving critical systems at the mercy of a duopoly when the largest player is supplying (indirectly) our enemies' weapon platforms puts Canada, EU, and other allies at risk.

Stellantis is clearly not well run. If the free market was working, they'd be panicking and looking at breaking up right now.
Instead they operate on long timelines, like the worst caricature of gvt bureaucracy, and get away with it.
Stellantis just put one person in charge of U.S. sales and the entire dealer network.
His first-day inbox:
Jeep: 159 days' supply
Ram: 148 days
Dodge: 147 days
Godspeed.

@tylermeredith The only way it drops that much is if there's too much slack.
There's too much slack, because there's too many impediments to building in Canada.
We've been saying "just lower taxes, cut red tape, and subsidize" for too long.
We need fresh thinkers.
@sask_trucker_ Same here, on the day of the week it usually gets jacked up, no less!
Structurally though there's a big mess on refining side that will take months to years to sort out.
We're lucky in Canada that the oil is here and there aren't enough pipelines or ships to send it to Asia/EU
