And it’s literally Hitler to leave hyperbolic comments online. /s

The guy should get fired from his own blog? Lol.

China, maybe even India if the Khalistan stuff gets out of hand.

Like, the US is by far the main threat directly to us right now, but it’s a big world and a long future.

besides Trump, and we know that’s not likely

Do we? Sometimes he TACOs, but sometimes he does exactly what he said he would. And what about whoever the next American autocrat is?

Getting in on one of the European umbrellas would be much better, though. We could even have British or French warheads on a Canadian sub, although I doubt it could launch a Trident as the delivery system.

It’s more like “everyone needs no nukes”. It’s just that being one of the nuclear powers is so much easier…

Having a delivery system in case we do decide to go down that path seems reasonable.

Yeah, I was wondering why that was specified. I spent some time looking into if it could fire nukes as well this morning. The verdict is maybe; a lot is secret, but the kind of tubes the KSS-III has are thought to be larger than their ship-borne equivalent.

Yep. If we want to stand on our own to feet, just the ability to attack a ship (eventually) isn’t enough. The ability to roll up anywhere on the same ocean and fire missiles is at least as useful. Buying both might be an option, although that costs.

I think it was meant that the arctic isn’t the only theater that matters. According to the bio Micheal Lalond was in the military, so it’s not a “nobody will ever attack us” thing.

A pipeline that never gets built and an oil lobbyist premier in political hot water is not that.

So you don’t like good things if they’re politically inconvenient?

Not really a thing in Alberta.

Edit: The UCP is trying to make it a thing, I guess. Maybe that’s what you mean.

Brandloyal conservatism, big cities that are surprisingly cosmopolitan and liberal given the overall vibe, cowboy shit like someone else mentioned.

Mmm popcorn.

There’s going to be more turmoil where that came from. She’s a true believer, and this is the part where the reality rudely interrupts her weird petrofantasy.

Pretty equal chance this guy wants us to be America’s upper penis, or genuinely thinks BC would join us. If it’s the former, he’s just as delusional about how that would go.

I can’t tell if it’s because Lemmy doesn’t want good things to happen in Alberta, or good things to happen do to Carney. It kinda feels like it’s one of the two canards, though.

I really love the cover. Maybe it’s because it manages to be cute while still referencing an appalling, inappropriate moment.

If anything 22 minutes is Canadian Colbert/John Steward

Aren’t those studio interview heavy, though? SNL is where I’d go to explain 22 to a foreigner, even though the live broadcast gimmick isn’t there.They do do on-location interviews sometimes, I guess…

In exchange for climate policies that never would have flown on their own in Alberta, and with concessions predicated on conditions that probably will never happen.

For once I can just full-thoatedly agree with Carney.

And BC and the coastal FNs will just say no otherwise.

A pipeline takes 10 years+ to pay for itself under normal circumstances, even.

I’m not sure why that’s unclear. Alberta will definitely have something ready to submit; the deadline is just there for the sake of completeness. The Major Projects Office can’t make BC and FNs agree to it once it’s submitted.

If it falls apart before April when the new pricing comes in, that’s another matter. But even then the federal government hasn’t lost anything.
