Oh great. That means we'll be paying Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, etc. We'll be giving a buttload of our tax money to American weapons manufacturers probably.
I fucking hate this government.
I voted for Carney. I apologize...
Not your fault you got duped.
I did because First Past the Post eliminates real choice.
I mean, we could all have voted for the NPD and potentially got them more seats. Ridings that voted NDP last time voted for a Liberal candidate this time around.
Carney is literally going to do austerity in Canada to feed the military industries of a country that's openly threatening to annex Canada. You could not think of a worse idiot to be at the helm right now.
I could think of one.
I somehow doubt that anything would be substantially different under Poilievre. All these clowns represent the interests of the same oligarchs that own the country.
In this context probably not. But in other aspects there are differences. Not in which class they serve but intra-class allegiance differences. Like which oligarchs do they serve directly, do they prioritize Canadian ones or not, do they slash the welfare state by 15% or remove parts of it altogether. You know - the traditional lib vs con differences, like R v D in the US, con v labour in the UK.
But again, this isn't a substantial disagreement. 😅
Yeah, I think we're on the same page here.
It better not be to American companies
Not only because of the obvious effects but also because of how overpriced their products are. These fuckers are experts at profit-maximizing.
Chances are Colt Canada is involved given they’re the “secret” contractor/partner in the governments firearm “buyback” program.
Wouldn’t shock anyone if they worked up a defence deal at the same time.
I hope they don't bleed you dry like the complex does the US.
