The Canadian Navy wants to build in Canada.
Ships, their own drones, ...
The Canadian Air Force will lie about everything in attempts to buy only made in the USA.
Sadly that is common with the people in the CAF who decide what we should buy.
Time for a change.

Every day, Ukrainians live through this kind of terror.
Try to imagine yourself in such a life. You can’t, can you? This is the reality of Ukrainians.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

The Israeli army carried out air strikes across eastern and southern Lebanon on Friday, in violation of the ceasefire agreement. This came after the Israeli army said it targeted a vehicle in Lebanon near the Syrian border on Thursday night that killed a member of Iran’s Quds Force. Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire agreement in November 2024. Since then, Israeli air strikes have continued almost daily, killing more than 330 people. Support stories that matter.

The holidays aren’t safe for everyone. CBC reports IPV rises this time of year and why. It names hard truths, shares real resources, and refuses silence. That’s public-interest journalism.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Russia just bombed the main highway leading into Kharkiv - heavy traffic with families returning home after Christmas - cars are burning with people in them.

And we discuss signing something with them?
