Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?
Dominion Review is a Canadian publication providing novel and dissenting perspectives on issues that matter to our country.
Oh.
And look at that, the site’s editor has been published in…
-The Epoch Times (19 times!)
-The Financial Post (4 times)
-The Vancouver Sun (twice)
-The Western Standard
And other publications that I’m sure are highly esteemed and worth our time.
I guess they think “respectful and firm” is their best shot at taking a stand without alienating their base.
I don’t think it’s going to play.
I truly wish I had some advice for you, but I honestly have no idea what to say to someone who thinks a “news” source like that is worth a grain of salt.
I found their website (not going to link it here), and it looks like a bog-standard right-wing misinfo outlet to me.
The overall advisory level remains green, “Take normal security precautions.”
The whole thing was ill-advised, and the execution makes it even worse.
In the picture, the white line crossing it out looks more like vandalism than part of the actual ad.
“I provided a specific list of demands the next prime minister, regardless of who that is, must address within the first six months of their term to avoid an unprecedented national unity crisis,” Smith said in a statement Thursday after a morning meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Alberta capital.
So it’s extortion, then.
Make the weapons bolt-action.
There is no kill switch for the F-35, but the JPO’s statement points to the very real problems with the weapons system. In its own words, the jet “operates under well-established agreements,” its strength “lies in its global partnership,” and JPO “[remains] committed to providing all users with the full functionality and support they require.” In other words, the F-35 doesn’t fly unless JPO helps you, but don’t worry because it’s committed to helping.
The F-35 may not have a “kill switch” in the traditional sense, but the countries who bought it are locked into an irrevocable pact with Lockheed Martin and America. ALIS/ ODIN might not be able to turn off the F-35 remotely, but losing access to it can make it impossible to fly.
Only one country has escaped the F-35 software and logistics trap while still being able to fly the jet: Israel. The IDF’s contract for the jet allows it to operate its own software systems without ALIS/ ODIN and conduct its own maintenance.
Purple.
I don’t mean anything, as I didn’t write the headline.
I can only assume that our version will be called CORN.
“Cube” is a really fun sci-fi horror, and I was happy to see it on the list. Very low-budget, but one should never hold that against Canadian cinema.
They definitely took some liberties with the list, but it seems like a good jumping-off point.
They already have a system that watches the sea north of Australia
Okay, that makes sense, and it squares with the CBC article:
Carney acknowledged that the project is not new, but said the partnership with Australia will allow it to be built and deployed “as quickly as possible and as effectively as possible.”
We’re basically teaming up with an ally that has experience getting the job done. Sensible.
I’ve never seen the show, nor have I ever been tempted really, but it’s good to see some home-grown television doing well enough to warrant a spinoff/sequel.
Ultimately, they’re probably better off avoiding poking the bear, and simply working to freeze the US out of the international scene moving forward.

Unfortunately, the deadline has now passed to register as a Liberal and be eligible to vote in the 2025 Leadership race.
I’ve liked what Carney has said outside of the campaign - in his meetings with European leaders, he’s been talking about this new status quo we find ourselves in as a permanent change in the global order, rather than a four-year blip.
On the campaign trail? I can’t say that he’s been particularly inspiring so far.
