Naturally, our closest ally did what it does best and told us children (Canada and India) to stop fighting because they had more important interests in Asia.

More important than the literal fucking assassination of Canadian citizens on Canadian soil by a foreign power, apparently. More important than supporting it's single largest trading partner in the world. More important than supporting the country that forms the other half of NORAD.

Then again, the US DOJ literally pushed Bombardier (a Canadian jet aircraft company and massive Canadian employer) to insolvency because it might compete with Boeing. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Bombardier killed itself through the incompetence of its management and C-suite, DOJ might not have helped but a good aircraft company should be able to survive without military contracts

It wasn't military contracts that killed Bombardier. It was the DOJ blocking Bombardier sales to the US under claims of "dumping"

Seems a pretty vitriolic response for America releasing details on planned assassinations
