Just to be clear @AntiTrumpCanada, those who booked the 🇺🇲 at the WC did so because they are morons. Those who are defending them booing it are bigger morons...
Just to clarify: During the World Cup opening ceremony in Toronto, Canadians booed the American flag, not because they hate America, but because Trump has turned that flag into a symbol of hate & division.
The boos were directed at that fucking scumbag.

Being a moron is more than just posting stupid shit like this, but something tells me that @Canada4Europe has all those other criteria covered already...
Being European is more than just geography.
It is a culture.
It is a shared political process.
It is a mindset and a lifestyle.
I hope soon he drops the non-European country bit, and starts calling us the most European country in North America.

I’m told, the USG has made it clear that if the CDN gov reneges on the contract signed by the Trudeau gov in Jan 2023 to purchase 88 x F35A’s in 4 batches, in order to buy a number of Gripen E’s, then 3 things will happen quickly.
1. LM with the full backing of the USG will launch a lawsuit to recover lost funds. When the Chrétien gov did the same thing with EH101 purchase, the CDN gov paid AgustaWestland nearly $1 billion in compensation.
2. CDN based businesses that exist solely to provide various components for the 3 variants of the F35 will have their future parts orders cut by 50%. This will cost them roughly $1.5 billion in revenue.
3. The USG will notify Saab & the Gov of Canada, that they will veto the export permit for the GE F414 engine, making any sale of the Gripen E to Canada impossible.
The Biden admin, threatened this when the sale of the Gripen E to Columbia was announced, the Trump admin followed through with the threat & formally vetoed the use of the engine, which killed the deal.
When the Columbia challenge occurred Saab engineers looked at the cost of using a Rolls Royce engine & concluded it would add $3-5 million USD to the flyaway cost to each Gripen E & add 5-8 years to the delivery timeframe while the airframe was modified & new testing & certification was completed.
Last point, the RCAF has made clear their position, 1 fighter jet & the best option is the F35A, why exactly should short term politics play a roll in a $20 billion dollar purchase that will not be finalized until long after Trump is not just out of office but likely deceased.
Perhaps they should just honour the contract they signed just 3 years ago & as recommended by the very people who risk their lives using the aircraft, no?

NEW: Canada is weighing a split fighter jet purchase of roughly 30 F-35s and 60 Gripens, with sources indicating an announcement may be timed to follow the U.S. midterm elections — La Presse

The life of Francois-Philippe Champage is like a Netflix series... his brother:
"On November 26, 2008, the Integrated Regional Organized Crime Squad raided a residence owned by Guillaume Champagne in Grand-Mère during Project Carapace, one of the 70 investigations used as evidence in Operation SharQc.
In the basement, police seized 34,000 methamphetamine pills, a pill press, 4,000 grams of hashish and cannabis, a prohibited weapon—a 9mm pistol—and $50,000. The 32-year-old man did not live in the house, but during a four-month investigation, police had observed him visiting the property at least six times. He faced 11 charges." /2

Interesting story in the Montreal Journal March 2017. Mr. Champagne appears to have negotiated an acquittal for his brother . If this was a conservative, the story would have been huge.

CBC after Harper flew to Toronto to sit in the cheap seats with his son: “Harper used jet to fly to hockey game.”
TSN after Carney flew to Harvard to visit his daughter then flew back and sat in a box with the Ottawa Senators owner: “Hey isn’t Mark Carney a hockey player?”

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has revealed that Carney spent over $500,000 on airplane food last year. That's more than the average family will spend on groceries in 30 years!!!
Carney spends even MORE on airplane food
Prime Minister Mark Carney and his entourage billed you for half a million dollars on airplane food in one year.
Loyal readers of the Taxpayer Waste Watch will remember our story about Carney spending more money on airplane food than former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
Well, we have some new numbers for you. And they’re bad…
Carney and his entourage spent $524,100 on airplane food in one year, according to government documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
That’s more than an average Canadian family will spend on groceries in 30 years.
Carney and his entourage billed taxpayers $159,000 for airplane food during a week-long trip to Athens, Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg and the Canary Islands.
Carney also billed you $94,000 on airplane food during a trip to Italy in 2025. That’s more than double what Trudeau spent on airplane food during his trip to Italy the year before.
Even when Trudeau spent $220,000 on airplane food during a trip to the Indo-Pacific, the cost worked out to $4,200 per hour. That’s still less than Carney spent on his trip to Italy.
Carney spent $21,158 on airplane food during a three-hour roundtrip to Washington D.C. That’s $7,000 per hour on airplane food.
Carney and crew also spent $60,000 on airplane food during a visit to Paris and London, and $50,000 during a trip to Belgium and the Netherlands.
Meanwhile, other politicians and bureaucrats are proving it is possible to spend less while travelling abroad.
Former defence minister Bill Blair took an international trip last year. Blair’s delegation spent just $2,350 on airplane food during the entire 12-day trip.
The government’s chief of defence staff went to Washington, D.C., with members of the Canadian Armed Forces last March. They billed taxpayers zero dollars for airplane food, according to government records.
Franco’s note: The government told you it would cut down on these extravagant international trips but spending half a million dollars on airplane food doesn’t exactly scream fiscal responsibility.

"Anne-Marie Gaudet is the partner (significant other) of Canadian Minister of Finance and former Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, François-Philippe Champagne.Regarding her professional life
She works at ALTO: Anne-Marie Gaudet is the Vice President of Environment for ALTO, which is the Crown corporation responsible for developing the high-speed rail network connecting Quebec City to Toronto." - chatgpt
Does this Liberal conflict of interest sh!t ever get called out by CBC or the Canadian MSM?

Well Minister Champagne’s life partner works for Alto after all.

Somehow we are giving away millions to useless foreign causes and yet there are millions struggling to make ends meet in Canada. Make this make sense @MarkJCarney
I think Canada should just randomly select a Canadian taxpayer and give them $11.5 million dollars instead of Feminist Inclusive Climate Action in Tunisia.
Just make it like a lottery. It’ll be fun.

Its ironic that @InformedOps believes in order to protect women's sports you need to allow men to compete in them AND it uses a picture of a man literally beating up a woman!
You can't make these things ups!
"To truly protect women's sport, govts, athletes & civil society must strongly oppose exclusionary policies of IOC & int sport federations." Sarah Teetzel, Marcus Mazzucco & Silvia Camporesi @ConversationCA

Hey, @InformedOps, why did you limit replies? Don't want to the rational counter arguments to your post?
Nearly 9 in 10 Canadians believe men and women should be equally represented in government, yet men still hold about 70% of the power. It's time to balance it.

Flying in from her home in NYC where she works for a US entity (The Eurasia Group) that receives funding from the GoC.
The Eurasia Group also employs Trudeau bestie & Carney campaign advisor Gerold Butts & formerly employed current AI Minister Evan Solomon.
I’m old enough to remember when the CDN MSM considered direct & perceived conflicts of interest to be news worthy, but I guess that was before they became addicted to taxpayer dollars in the form of @liberal_party gov subsidies. Now it’s just business as usual.

The 2026 Liberal National Convention is a week away, and we’re so excited to have Diana Fox Carney join us there.

I seem to be in agreement with @acoyne.

I think their advice would be: Cram 120 million people into an area slightly smaller than Newfoundland. Put 93 per cent of them in cities. Even in the Quebec-Windsor corridor, population density is a fraction of Japan's; the economics of high-speed rail are accordingly a little different.

Seems @marissenmark can't handle the volume of Canadians who think the high speed rail project is a bad idea. So, in typical LWNJ fashion, he labels all of them bots. Mark isn't bright enough to take a serious, unbiased look at the project. He just wants to steal more taxpayer $$
Apr 4
The number of bots and anonymous/fake accounts coming out in full force against high speed rail in Canada is a sight to behold.

Hey @TorontoStar, do you have anyone who is remotely intelligent doing fact checking for you BEFORE you publish your lies?
Apr 3
🚨 BREAKING MISINFORMATION
The Toronto Star says Poilievre went on “another US podcast.”
The Diary of a CEO is hosted by Steven Bartlett.
A British entrepreneur.
Based in the UK.
It’s the biggest podcast in EUROPE.
These are the people who think they’re qualified to tell you what’s misinformation.
They can’t even Google where a podcast is from before publishing a headline. 🤣
This is Canadian media in 2026.
Writing hit pieces they didn’t even fact-check.

Hey, @kevcontabby, that is a generalization about women. Also known as misogyny. There are plenty of women who are great leaders and politicians.
I don't accept complete & utter BS from either side of the spectrum, so time for you to be muted/blocker
