"A plan devised by the Canadian Joint Operations Command relied on propaganda techniques similar to those employed during the Afghan war"
Yeah and we know how that one turned out. A gynormous rainbow flag floating over the embassy in Kabul. Very subtle propaganda that won so many hearths and minds that the whole country collapsed in a week.
Interesting article. Some bimbo expert academian with a imaginary scenario that Putin might "lash out at the Arctic". Lash out at the arctic? You could nuke the arctic and nobody would notice.
Now that the stock has gone up, he should sell everything and tank the stock again. And maybe do it a couple more times, just to be a jerk.
If you don't mind, I'll wait until the propaganda dies down before assessing Russian losses. Is this your first time watching a war develop?
Including inflation. But look around. Does it look like military spending has increased 70% to you? They gave a bigger budjet to Defense. But Defense can't spend it, because federal beurocracy gets in the way. It took 10 years to select a pistol replacement, and now they are back to square 1 because one of the bidders complained and a judge made a decision. It takes some kind of crisis for anything to get done.
The jets were just old and needed replacing. It's either that or have somebody else fly NORAD over Canada. Nobody wants that. So he had to get off the pot.
As we can see now in Ukraine these Russian planes aren't even a match to basic defenses like Stinger rockets. Our CF18s would destroy them easily.
You saw that? I didn't see any of that. I saw Ukrainians begging for old Polish fighters, begging for a no -fly zone. (Stingers are low level shoulder launched. Stay above 15k feet and you're good). This is not how somebody that is winnig the air war would behave. Our air force is not as confident as you concerning its ability to match Russia. Spending a jillion buck to buy F-35 isn't the way somebody would behave if they were convinced of their superiority.
The Russians are also less airpower-centric than we are. Why would they be? The west's airpower is probably unbeatable. On the ground though, the Russians are willing to take losses, us, not so much.
The air force wanted F-35s. It's the only fighter that makes sense. Remember, we will operate them for the next 50 years.
Fuck you Hillier, you couldn't even buy replacement fucking pistols. The reason Canada has fuck all to send is partly your fault.
The Ukrainians can have every single one of those fucking Brownings.
Of course corporations are greedy. It's the law. They are designed to make money for the investors. That said, most of a gallon of gas is taxes. The oil companies explore, find, extract, refine and sell gas. An honest business that creates jobs. The government just taxes it. Contributes nothing, theft.
Nah he reads books like "What is this dog doing to this other dog, Charlie Brown?"
There is one thing that is sacred in Canada, and it's our "free" health care. Threaten to take that away, and some normies will wake up to the fact that what the gubmit gives, it can take away. Not a good play by the PM.
That all you got?
Baby boomers are defined as born between 1946 and 1964. The averabe boomer is 66. Their "kids" are adults. Don't let the math get in your way of your hatred for boomers. But leave the rest of us alone with your bullshit.
He'll never go on a debate over this. You know Natives (or Indigenous, or whatever you call them) eat a shitton of meat traditionally. Simply because most did not practice agriculture and the climate is not really helping 6 months a year. A lot of elks, deers, slamon etc etc. He should go lecture them and see what it get him.
I thought the Islamic State had nothing to do with Islam...
“We’re a northern country, why the hell are we able to buy fresh tomatoes and lettuce and fresh fruit 12 months a year? We’ve got to start living in a way that reflects the place that we live.”
Why?
- Because fuck you, that's why.
- To put in my triple bacon cheese burger with an egg on top that I pick up through the drive-through in my Hemi Challenger. I throw the lettuce out the window, by the way.
Yeah, what a bunch of idiots, wanting their freedom back...
Same here. A number of houses are occupied by "Chinese students" driving expensive SUVs. My neighbors moved in next door, in a $600k house (minimum, we took care of it between sales). They are older. No income, no job. Nice enough, but no obvious means of earning a dime. Half the real estate signs are in Chinese. House sell here before they are even completed, usually just a hole in the gound with no foundations yet.
What poles? These fuckers are supposed to have melted 10 years ago. Prince Charles said so....
You forgot having your guns taken away.
Holy fuck I could barely read the article with all the fucking pop up adds and bullshit.
Well we know it doesn
t work: They cant even fill recruiting quotas. OTOH, I see propaganda every day: CBC, Global, etc.
