Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

I'll believe it when I see it.

pretty, but so what? How often do dress uniforms even leave the closet? People won't join the armed forces until the guidance and teaching community in high school present service as a viable option for a career and the press stop running down the military every chance they get. There are 30 years of bad attitude on the part of educators to reverse and on top of that is the me culture. Even Macdonald's is having trouble filling their rosters with students who actually work for their pay

Just wait until the Libs and/or Socialists roll out 'basic life income' of 25-30k for everyone who wants it.

So everyone gets the basic life income, then a salary from employment income is extra right? Otherwise its just an excuse for people not to be employed.

Please tell me that you're joking right? That is not how they envision it.

This article lays out nicely a number of the existing problems, virtually already known to everyone here.

Subs, jets, sleeping bags with functioning zippers: Where Canada could put $16B in additional defence spending

Maybe to equip the Canadian Rangers with a rifle that isn’t 114 years old?

I don't think you understand the program they are cooking. The basic idea is everyone gets a "basic" income. This whole thing is based on the idea the future is going to be so awesome because of the tech companies that there will not be enough jobs. So the government will pay you to do what you want. The tech companies are are in love with this idea. Because secretly they know they will be receiving the bulk of the money as you sit and buy V-bucks, Meta Credits, Amazon prime, Spotify, etc. Silicon valley is in love with this idea. I don't blame them they will make not billions...but trillions. COVID was the dry run and its was great! for them. (this is not even tin foil hat stuff)

The problem is Maggie was right. You eventually run out of other people money.

Too stop gravity they are working on the concept of New Monetary Theory and then digital currency.

I can go farther but most don't want to hear.

Money is just a medium of exchange. Wealth is what people do with their time. Some uses of time are valued by others, and some are not. The more of the latter, the less we all consume. The less you can consume, the lower your standard of living.

Well, GC and DND isn't dictating policy based on our posts* so why not talk about other things? We have plenty of threads talking about Ukraine, etc.


* or are they?!

In the meantime, those same tech companies have thousands of job vacancies. And they can't find enough qualified applicants in countries such as ours because our education system sucks and our citizenry lacks the motivation to do the work of yesterday and today, let alone the work of the future.

Dress is a dissatisfier, and it costs us nothing to fix it.

Add an irritation bonus for it being so obviously cheap or free to fix the bulk of the issues with dress.

Perhaps there's a correlation?

What, you mean bullies attack when they think the victim is weak-willed and effete?

[Brad Sallows]

Sure. But better to anticipate how bullies think, and avoid war by not projecting what they might interpret as weakness. Avoid the unnecessary battle.
