Stéphane Dion: The secession process is dangerous As the former federal minister who sponsored the Clarity Act, Alberta's path to independence is fraught with risk.

I vividly remember the series War by Gwynne Dyer and him describing how new NATO fighters like the F-15 were fragile and prone to break while they had an 80%+ availability rate. Isn’t that why we got rid of the Voodoo and Starfighter for the Hornet. They were hangar queens, like the Hornet now.

The F-35 is a stealth strike fighter, for day one warfare. it does posess incredible capability but it still saddled with a 50% reliability and mission readiness rate, after 20 years of development and production. That is horrendous, and the maintenance costs devour operating budgets.

More likely Sun Tzu would tell us not to try to defeat the world's largest and most advanced conventional military by conventional means.

If Sun Tzu was still alive, he would probably say something like “Do not depend on someone who is not your friend to give you the weapons you might use to defeat him.” Followed by “Building your weapons at home strengthens your people’s spirit, your resilience, and your readiness.” So, Gripen…

All the criminal ghouls gathering at the lair of evil.

We can expect no honesty, no decency, and no humanity from this Presidential administration. It will be like this until the microsecond he leaves.

If you were curious, I would say I've seen about 500 Seahawks fans, 300 Patriots fans, and 16.3 million Bad Bunny fans. They're everywhere and it's awesome.

Operation Metro Surge leading to budget concerns for City of Minneapolis There are concerns in the City of Minneapolis that Operation Metro Surge could lead to higher property taxes.

I'm really asking: What is the math on all of this? If Metro Surge started Dec 1, and they claim to have deported 4,000 people, at a cost of $18 million a week, and it's been ten weeks, they show no sign of leaving, and we leave out the murders—$2billion to destroy us?
