Crossing the fucking floor is a neon flashing sign she’s not a member of the tribe. It’s a sign that she’ll backstab and sell out at a moments notice.

I can’t believe she was elected. She crossed the fucking floor and what 8 years later all is forgiven and she’s elected.

Is that different than binding arbitration?

That’s not really 3rd party then.

It is going to arbitration, which seems like a funny way to resolve it but yeah.

Was the idea to improve performance?

That’s only for private, money making companies.

As more and more traditional media die, the more we need CBC. It’s only becoming more important.

I’m reading about the German type 214 and think that’d be the frontrunner, especially since it looks like they allow it to be built by the purchasing country. Thoughts?

Pretty sure Poland got a deal to manufacture them in Poland. They want to make their own industry too.

The new fleet of submarines will be conventionally powered and capable of operating under ice.

Um knowing nothing about Arctic logistics, I’m surprised at this. I thought they’d want nuclear powered. But maybe this is posturing before trying to get in on the aukus deal.

US military sales are not limited to subs. Doubtless they want to sell more planes and everything else. You can look up graphs of US arms exports, it’s a lot.

Barrie to Montreal.

Roomba.

Doesn’t count as military spending then.

For anyone wondering why Canada is not eager for military spending, it’s because very little goes into our own Canadian economy. We don’t have much military industry (and we’re not big enough to ever get much) so most of the money spent goes to buying foreign equipment. It’s like a permanent export of cash. Planes, rifles, even ship building - we can build the ship, but then we buy all the electronics and weapons systems from someone else.

And not to sound too crass, but for what reason? No one is going to invade Canada because of geography. The US? We have no chance anyway. We could leave NATO and pretty much disband our military entirely. The only reason we’re in NATO and have a military is to help others. Again, at extraordinary expense because we don’t have our own domestic military industry.

Set it up to a mic measuring decibels lol.

Really? I thought facebook martketplace was the big one.
