The civic commons has devolved due to capture by a powerful few leading to over heated rhetoric (don't push my buttons). Trying to learn from and share informative posts. Renovating my very old house in Hampton, NB. Books. Music. Art.

The final countdown of the U.S. and this will likely affect Canada as collateral information of Canadian citizens is also collected in their dragnet and stored - and we have no legal rights.

Better yet - build our own industrial military complex - starting with advanced drone tech.

Less expensive in regards to export costs and also likely less expensive to build out in numbers rather than large military equipment.

I'm disgusted and disappointed by the 12 month house arrest of Barbour and Lich. It cost Canadian taxpayers 5 mil and for what? Basically the net result is 730 days sitting at home and that works out to a cost of $6,849.31 PER DAY EACH.

What a crock of shit.

I think the U.S. is refocusing on our hemisphere and will become even more aggressive against Canada - even continued actions toward annexation - if they believe it is possible.

Our mineral and water resources, Arctic passage and additional land mass are their goals, further insulating themselves.

"The [US] government finally admitted the jet will never live up to Lockheedโ€™s ambitious promises โ€” used to sell the $2 trillion boondoggle to nearly 20 countries around the world."

Denmark to ban social media for under-15s Denmark said Tuesday it planned to introduce a social media ban for children under the age of 15.

Sounds good to me.
"Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen did not specify which social media networks would fall under the ban, nor how it would work in practice".
No matter what this is a step in the right direction.
Recognizing a problem is always the first step.

I am absolutely into UBI. One thing that does get missed, though - if it's to be rolled out on national scales it would have to be combined with rent controls and nationalized utilities. Because you can bet your life private landlords and shareholders would be giddy with the chance to gobble that up

Means-tested programs divide the working class, create barriers, and reinforce inequality. Progressives must embrace universal social programs that are truly accessible and build solidarity, not just paper over capitalism.

Canadian tech helped U.S. strike alleged Venezuelan drug boats: report | CBC News Canadian technology was used by the U.S. military in operations that blew up at least two alleged Venezuelan drug boats in the Caribbean in September, according to a report by Project Ploughshares.

A new report says the U.S. military used a Canadian-made L3Harris WESCAM MX-Series sensor system to track and surveil boats - and then kill civilians without due process.
