I hear they shoot poorly trained dogs in the us
Pretty well trod formula because its so goddamn effective. It's why I've always figured genetic memory was bullshit; we've been blowing it for so long you'd think we'd jump at fascists and warlords like we do snakes and rats
This is the most recent article I see. Seems they're making parts payments to keep in the queue while reviewing. Should obviously have never signed up for 88 f 35s in the first place in my opinion. It was obvious then as it's obvious now that America was going to be an incredibly adversarial partner, unworthy of trust.
Their recent actions make it glaringly obvious any purchase planes comes with severe risk.
If anything he should be mad at the Americans for emboldening China so much with that toddler walk of a presidential visit. As far as they're concerned the only real obstacle would have been America. I don't believe China is concerned what a Canadian Conservative MP has to say on the matter.
He's in bed, or his superiors are, with the people making China's attitude towards Taiwan, moving forward, possible. Furthermore I doubt they're terribly concerned with what Canada at large as to say, either. Not truly.
It seems to me that China has been awfully patient and has enjoyed watching China's Nation Builder, Trump, flounder and boast and give them everything they've dreamed of for long enough. "Taiwan? After all, why shouldn't it be ours?"
For the record I stand with Taiwan. I'd rather not be misconstrued as saying China should be rewarded with Taiwan for good behavior or some crap

They state repeatedly that they want to bring us up to the level of our five eyes partners. But that includes the United States.
I suppose Canada has more to gain from such an alliance, since America could likely mop the floor with us in cybersecurity. If we left or they left they'd just look anyway.
I just don't believe we can trust them as far as we can throw them.
But how do the other partners handle their responsibilities with these signals intelligence capabilities? Is it (c-22) truly equal to what they have there? If signalnand Proton etc are all freaking out about it is it worse than what they have in America and new Zealand, UK etc? They operate there still and they are all Five Eyes partners. America is losing all sorts of digital privacy rights etc along with virtually everything else right now. Why do they still operate there?
And we really want to still be sat at yet another table where what passes for American bulldog politicians bark and yap at us? We should be decoupling where ever possible and something this sensitive is definitely a candidate. They don't even respect their own citizens why would they waste time respecting us. Literally its a toss up who I would trust less with this sort of partnership, Russia usa Israel or China. Might as well just hand it over to various billionaires directly
The streamer thing is whatever. Not a tax. Sounds fine to me. Bill c-22 is a whole big issue that more people need to talk about tho.
