While your question is not off base you completely discredit it with the manipulation claim. Hence the downvotes.

It’s an interesting proposition but the current areas everyone wants to settle to can’t sustain it anymore. Government needs to start spreading their dollars, and by association people, to other parts of the country which the room for growth. I don’t it will happen.

Just so you know, Canada’s version of the NSA actually hosted NSA staff or provided signal intelligence to US agencies so they could circumvent the “no spying on us citizens” part of many laws.

We do know how to profile people and have done it internally quite well for some time. Our blind spot is more international due to being the US lapdog. But that will change soon enough.

Can we not just send her to cunt island with all the other cunts. And then maybe Alberta can elect an adult.

Easy fix. Cut a hole in the wall on the Canadian side or better yet tear our half down. Fuck these idiots.

If anyone actually read the article, they’re asking everyone, including Canadians, who’s receiving research grants from them.

The fix is easy, stop accepting funding from these clowns. Otherwise you need to play by their rules. I don’t agree with the nonsense in south Canada but it’s prerogative.

Why is military procurement such a bloody mess in this country. Truly don’t understand. Get something that’s good enough to meet the baseline requirements and then apply a local spending/manufacturing lens. Done.

This need to always purchase the absolute best and not build local manufacturing is a real buzzkill.

Every single social platform has tried to do this and failed. Once a platform reaches critical mass the bits, scammers, etc… move in and start exploiting any “honour” mechanism that might exist.

Probably the best I’ve come across is ycombinator news but that’s pretty niche.

We do but it’s all high end custom ordered stuff for military, space or auto applications. Consumer stuff disappeared around the sitcom boom when JDS, Norte, and others folded or were bought out. Only blackberry is left and it’s mostly from China?

Frank is by far the most biased pollster around. He’s on record saying he would do anything to crush the CPC. But broken clock twice a day and all that.

Canada’s total exports are about 35% of total GDP. So that puts US exports at somewhere around 24% of GDP. Pretty high but then if we exclude oil and gas and potash exports it’s a much, much smaller number. So small in fact that we would probably replace those exports within 12 months.

I wonder if anyone else other than the US wants some oil, natural gas, or potash? And yes I know we currently lack pipeline capacity but at this point I’d be willing to let the government finance it all to move oil and gas to the east coast.

I really think Americans over played their hand.

Considering how pissed off and united we are over some off the cuff comments about 51st state and the fact it’s personal for trump, he really hates Trudeau, I don’t think they would be ready for the absolute carnage some of us would unleash on them. IRA showed everyone the way forward.
