hopefully, but we all know trump will go (metaphorically) nukular if we go with Gripen. They already tried planting the seeds of "but there's no way it could interoperate with modern planes as part of NORAD and NATO!" which, of course they can. and "you could never possibly afford to have more than 1 type of plane! that's just crazy talk!" which is nonsense, except for the insane requirements for care and feeding of the F35s taking an oversized proportion of available resources…

I just hope this isn't a "see! we can buy from other countries too! (and then buy all of the F35s as initially planned)" kind of thing.

The world will be a better place when The Dinger finally retires.

I'm still SUUUUPER curious about how the first petition "FOREVER CANADIAN" got over 400,000 signatures and somehow got no traction with the UCP. these treasonous assclowns somehow manage to get 178,000 signatures (while doing lots of shady stuff to get that far) and OMG WE'RE GONNA SEPARAGE ITS A KOODETAT!

we've had nationalized energy before, and I distinctly remember it not being free of charge.

[–] JustADrone@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

yeah, and it was great until the "privatize it because that will (something something) free market (something) efficiency" etc.

on the plus side, any deal we do make will one day be torn up unilaterally by El Cheato based on a 3am tweet about hamberders or something…

they were implying "no big deal - it's just the sparkly flu" - but flu shots are provided for free through the province and you have to make an appointment to pay for a covid shot. so, not like the flu somehow.

"We're going to treat COVID just like the flu from now on" was always doublespeak BS.

the nazi-esque symbol is pretty obvious - but what in the hell is that All Seeing Anus sticker???

 

I have a family member who has gone down some internet rabbit holes and is now sharing endless links to videos on Northern Perspective. He’s describing it as “revealing the truth about corruption in Canada that they don’t want you to know about” but the YouTube channel looks like truthy disinformation? What’s going on with Northern Perspective? Who’s behind it? And how do I help my family member?
