In a future state of the world where 25 cents of every 1$ produced by Canada goes to investing in defence there would be systemic affects on the ENTIRE budget... most public policy experts working on Canada neglect that fact.

Prof. A. L. Kimball @profkimball.bsky.social · Jun 9

I've spent a good part of the last few years being frustrated at what appears to be general apathy about training defense economists in Canada.
Few scholars work with military spending data... a 5% club target, based on Canada's 2024 GDP and tabled 2025-2026 budget... yeilds 27% on 'defence.'

The other site randomly requesting me to re-log in and my apathy about doing so - has triggered my slow ghosting.
The interesting part is trying to deny the FOMO while embracing a reduced level of feeling engaged publicly.

Partial victory here but billions of foreign aid contracts unilaterally cancelled by government need to be restored. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Judge says Trump must pay past aid bills but can cancel future contracts

The Trump administration probably violated separation of powers by withholding nearly $2 billion in Congress-approved foreign aid funds, a U.S. district judge ruled.

For a country currently obsessed with critical minerals and even discussing territorial annexation to secure them, alienating our Canadian friends is wildly at odds with US mineral security ambitions. Two countries make the #USGS top tier in terms of US import dependency: Canada & China.

The resurgence giving 'invitations' to start accession talks to both EU/NATO as part of a nego settlement only confuses politicians and publics. Their usefulenss for 'deterrence' signaling is also questionable.
