Canada wants to strengthen ties with Germany, Norway & NATO and use Canadian companies to help supply EU countries.
It is German/Norwegian TKMS that wants to sell Canada new subs and has even suggested building them here.

In 15th-century Turkey, coffee was more than a drink—it was a marital must-have. Husbands who failed to provide enough risked divorce, making caffeine both a love language and legal leverage. A playful reminder that even centuries ago, coffee ruled hearts and homes. (Source: The Vintage News)

So I guess the USA's declaring-but-not-declaring war on Venezuela now.

Last time I said "hey how convenient that Venezuela has both a drug problem AND the world's largest oil deposits," I had fucking reply bros going "dude, America has SO MUCH OIL, they would never."

Ya fuckin' numpties.

Venezuela has the world’s most oil: Why doesn’t it earn more from exports?

Venezuela holds the world's largest proven oil reserves, more than five times more than the United States.

😂 when DonJr "wrote"his book a few years ago, the Trump crime syndicate bought large amounts of advance copies to ensure its place on the NYT book list. I think they'll have to double that purchase for this one! I mean, really, "under siege"... Stupid title!

" Innocent bystanders". What a joke! Canada is the innocent bystander in mango-Mussolini's 51st state fevered dream. And I will keep boycotting US products until there's regime change in the US!
