"Tzar Nikolay II of Russia was a fool. He ordered his troops not wearing helmets, because it was more stylish. No wonder the commies got him. Bad for his family, but millions of families were destroyed because of his style choices!"

The Chinese EV debate in Canada reflects the discussion re: Huawei a decade ago. Main difference now is that then we could rely on the US as a trading partner. Now both it & China are seeking to undermine our automotive industry. So while the debate is similar, the calculus has changed dramatically.

The Most Popular Foreign Tank in the Red Army
The Canadian-built Valentines were some of the favourite foreign tanks in the Red Army and made quite an impact in some parts of the front, particularly the Caucasus. Learn why the Valentine was so well liked in my video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Egy...

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

Ottawaβs shift away from US defence manufacturers aims to create 125,000 jobs
βBuy Canadianβ strategy will raise military spending to 5 per cent of GDP and boost economy, new plan says
Ottawa furnishes the model that Europe will follow. Ottawaβs shift away from US defence manufacturers aims to create 125,000 jobs in an enhanced domestic defense sector. Foreign procurement will be from Europe, not the US. You don't buy arms from a country that's threatening to invade you.
