Yes. They retain all control over its software -> they retain control over any airforce that purchases the F-35. And control any military flying them because they hold all the data.

#Canada needs to get out of the bed they’ve been sharing with the USA or we will always be vulnerable.

So, it's basically a spy plane for the States (<-- foreigners).

Also: “Defence Department judges F35 Superior in all respects“ has a lot of “Parents of toddler deem child a genius” vibes.

If the F 35 is anything less than a resounding success it calls the whole trillion dollar game into question.

One of the other worrying things about F35 is difficulties it's having in meeting performance criteria after purchase. Brits B models are all failing to meet requirements regarding load weights that have 2 big repercussions: in many cases have to drop ordinance before landings (essentially throw...

Trump’s 2016 election should’ve put the question of networked sovereignty on the Canadian military’s agenda. From this report, it’s not clear that it did. And in 2025, failing to address the elephant in the room, even if only to dismiss concerns, is inexcusable.

🙄 The US President publicly stated:
🚩 the ones ‘we’ sell to other countries ‘won’t be as good.’
🚩 ‘Maybe we will include a switch to turn them off if ‘we’ don’t like what those countries are doing.’
🚩 US retains CONTROL over all software changes and updates.

#Canada has to take this BS seriously.

F-35 beat Gripen fighter jet 'by a mile' in 2021 Defence Department competition | CBC News The American-built F-35 fighter jet dominated its Swedish rival Gripen in terms of technical and military capabilities during a competition held by the Defence Department in 2021, according to data ob...

Yet again, control over software is ignored completely in this story, and from this report, in the military’s analysis.

How much good does it do to have ”the best fighter jet in the world, by far,” if you don’t actually control it?

Are those thousands of Europeans in the room with you right now?

I despise when a #hate groups co-opt previously positive symbols of Canadian-ness.
Husband no longer wears decade-old t-shirt or hat w/ red ensign b/c NOW it’s a hate symbol
‘Highway of Heroes’ overpass crowds honouring fallen CDN soldiers on final journey were the best of us. Now they express hate

Growing white nationalist group behind broad daylight demonstration in London on Sunday | CBC News An apparent white nationalist demonstration on a busy overpass near London, Ont.'s downtown on Sunday afternoon is concerning for witnesses and experts who track extremist behaviour.

This is a shocking image (and that's 100% the point).

I wish this article had hit this point way earlier:

“It’s a buttoned-up version, a repackaging, of ethnic cleansing...The forced removal of...non-white people.”

Ford says he will audit ‘left-wing radical groups’ opposed to government legislation | Globalnews.ca Ford's warning came after members of the tenant advocacy group ACORN interrupted the legislature to protest a controversial omnibus bill that shortens some eviction timelines.

Cpt'n 🇨🇦, my arse!

Doug Ford has neither the best interests of Ontario nor 🇨🇦 in mind. Ford, like Trump, is only out to enrich himself & his buds. Democracy is in his way.

He'll make it his mission to destroy anything & anyone who tries to stop him.

And it is not just CBS News journo group chats that have been lighting up and sharing the clip. Over at CNN, execs, talent, and correspondents are anxiously awaiting to see which of the bidders (Paramount Skydance, Netflix, and Comcast) will take control of parent company Warner Bros. Discovery. Weiss has also been telling executives and talent she is trying to recruithat if David Ellison's big bet to buy Warner Bros. Discovery is successful, she will be running both CBS News and CNN, according to two people who have heard her make that pitch. If that happens, it would almost certainly mean the departure of current CNN CEO Mark Thompson. A person familiar with the situation stressed to Breaker that Weiss was relaying to talent and execs her hope for the deal being inked so that CBS News becomes part of a broader organization that provides more opportunities and platforms for journalism.

And why should someone have to bear the cost of food delivery? Or be restricted to Walmart? And how did this become specifically about Atlanta? So many goal posts.

Anyway delivery is not an adequate replacement for a physical store in accessible proximity of where one lives.

What’s THE BEST DAY in kindergarten??

The day your teacher pulls out the bin of krazy karpets and takes the class tobogganing!!!

Yes - 4 and 5 year olds!

Yes!!

Am I the only one who remembers flying saucers? The crazy carpet isn't dangerous enough--let's use something that spins uncontrollably.

A purple and orange GT snow racer sled from the 1970s.

Who’s gonna tell him about those GT racer things that were absolutely unsafe?!

yep lol

Canadians: you called?

By the time I was hitting the local hill in ‘70s it was at a less death-defying spot where hill ended at the top of a culvert that emptied storm water into a creek approx 10 ft below.

Of course there was a jump built before the culvert.

The ‘baby’ side let you cruise to a stop before the creek.😆

I keep forgetting that I want a machine to pollute my air and water while stealing from artists in order to mainstream lies and I'm so grateful the AI defenders are here to remind me!

I’m sorry but I can’t stop laughing, yeah we would sled down hills in the winter with whatever we had on hand, toboggans, crazy carpets, tubes 😂 someone always got injured because of jumps on the hills or wipeouts #Canada

LOL - my mom and her friends tobogganed on the top of the Scarborough Bluffs (Toronto) in the 1930s. Yes, yes they did.

They tied the rope around biggest kid and would all bail out before the drop off. The ‘anchor’ kid would stop the sled from being lost forever 😆

For reference ⬇️ Bluffs c. 1950

I'm convinced that conservatism is global organized crime wrapped in a nice box, tied with a pretty religious bow & served on a fancy tray of racism. So many self-righteous rightwingers are corrupt & are pervy sex deviants, sadly some Pdos. They know when & where to dial down their white-supremacy.

Maybe you are fighting the wrong battle here

Yeah - the ‘religion’ practiced by these evangelical Christian Nationalists bears ZERO resemblance to the Christianity any of us were taught / experienced in classic denominations like Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian or United churches.

For them, the cruelty IS the point.
