    We can only hope that the disintegration of global politics, and the formation of a Christian version of Iran on our border will drive defense reform.

        I’m referring to the push by Christian fundamentalism to implement Project 2025. It would functionally result in a dictatorship guided by religious zealots. That’s why the comparison to Iran. Canada is in a very precarious position these days, unless you’re fond of joining in with the dissolution of democracy and human rights that is advancing pretty relentlessly down south.

          Praise Be, Yeah like the Handmaid’s Tale in real life! Well, we’re not exactly democratic either with the cancelling B$ that’s been happening in Canada. This burning of our history because of inconvenient truths. History is just that. Either extremes are bad.

    No one seems to have picked up that Canada is considering getting nuclear submarines or getting into the ballistic missile defense treaty, that the Chretien liberal government had refused to join. That party was MY Liberal party, which practiced true Liberalism, not the neoliberalism we see today with Trudeau’s government, which is right leaning. Much intolerance for dissenting views. We should be alarmed!
