If you are stationed at many bases, you stay on base because the civilians are not friendly

If you go off base, you go in a group

So, even inside the Military its Us vs Them because there is a lot of Racism

Graham Platner’s claims that he didn’t know tattoo was Nazi-linked undercut by new evidence | CNN Politics

A KFile investigation has uncovered mounting evidence that Platner — a Marine veteran— was aware of and defended the use of Nazi symbolism that had come to be embraced by some members of the military.

Which part of Graham Platner is a NAZI is difficult to understand?

There is a whole WHITE SUPREMACIST sub culture in the US Military that is the result of people spitting on serving members and other examples of their hatred of anything military

At this point only a Traitor to Canada would buy the F35 from the USA

The F35 program needs to be cancelled along with any US military presence in Canada

10. There is a lot of Job Deletion going on under the Trump Administration and not much Job Creation

Since Billionaires don't pay their fair share of Income Taxes, the US Government is not going to get the amount of Income Taxes that has been forecast. Unemployed people can't pay Income Taxes

7. The shipyards have all been converted to condos and townhouses on ocean front property

Steel Mills sit unused waiting to be converted into condos

US Naval Bases world wide are being closed. The reduction in size of the Navy makes the bases unneeded

All of those jobs are gone

6. The USA and Canada have made it impossible to have heavy industry

Canada cannot even build ferries and has to import them. The USA doesn't build the replacement warships that the US Navy needs. In fact, the USA doesn't have the shipyards to perform essential maintenance on their aging fleet

5. Especially when other nations don't have the environmental restrictions that you have

This is why China has so much of the metals market world wide

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

What is not generally known is that China, during the past 40 years, has created a vice-like grip on the mining, refining and production of global metals.

It is not just nickel, lithium, graphite and cobalt — the materials essential for battery production and the renewable energy age — where it holds the rest of the world in its palm.

It is also the world's biggest producer of steel, dominates aluminium smelting and production, and has an outsized influence on copper.

4. This is why Alberta has a boom or bust economy. No form of environmental remediation is enough for the environmentalists when extracting or processing oil, metals and other products from the Earth. World prices have to be extremely high to make it worthwhile and that doesn't happen often

Or, do you sell it to the Americans at a 30% discount? Do you discount your steel and aluminum so that your American customer pays the same price they paid before the Trump Administration put their tariffs on it?

Trump has added 2 Trillion to the US National Debt in 10 months. Where did it all go? It didn't go into Health Care, It didn't go into SNAP, It didn't go into SSDI, It didn't go into SSI

So who's offshore bank account has it gone into?

The Navy and the Marines belong to the President and can be used for immediate action for a short time. If the President wants to use the Army or Air Force or the Navy and Marines for a longer time the President must get a declaration of war from Congress

Renata Ford didn't want to understand that it takes at least 2 years to probate an estate and that in any case the amount that she would receive from the estate couldn't support a lifestyle that costs nearly 10 thousand a month

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Doug Ford has said his sister-in-law's allegations are "false" and "without merit" and he has no idea why she is making them.

Toronto estate lawyer Joseph Gyverson said the premier may have a totally valid reason for not yet having paid out assets from his late brother's will. He pointed out that Renata Ford's 2017 family court application, only recently abandoned, stated that "no distribution of the estate can be made by the executor" until the case was resolved.

"It could entirely excuse Doug Ford's supposed failure to distribute assets in a timely manner," Gyverson said.

Did you see Doug Ford's announcement that he would end the ads after the weekend? And the correction to Donnie, that the ads cost 75 thousand, not 75 million?

It's mission accomplished as far as Doug Ford is concerned

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.
