Thanks Cole and thanks PM Carney for the guts to move quickly with purpose to revitalize our military. My best memories are of our folks in peacekeeping roles around the globe and supporting our own citizens during many weather crisis. I, too, believe military careers will be much more challenging with the evolution of technologies, such as the drones, in Ukraine's struggle to defend and defeat Russia.

It's about bloody time..... Carney is doing the right thing and thank goodness not dragging it out in wee dribbles of budget increases. The armed forces should be an excellent career choice - not an afterthought.

Thanks, Cole.

Is there a complete breakdown coming? I’d like to know more about the space aspect. Is it satellite based or is this to do with the BS golden dome again?

Once we get more information I will update you.

This news helps to ease some of my anxiety over what we might be facing in the next few years

I hope he doesn’t help pay for the bloody golden dome. The most dangerous threat to the world is the country to our south. We should not be working with them on that.

No, absolutely not. I think its just a Trump pipe dream anyway. At this point in time, I don’t like the picture of the US and Canada joined under one “dome”.

I agree Sarah. We should be ratcheting up our defence against America. It’s unfortunate, but I do believe there is a real risk that Trump is itching to soften us up with economic warfare and then — once weakened— looking to actually put boots on the ground. Sure Russia is a danger. But the USA ( under Trump) is highly motivated and busily convincing American citizens that Canada is overrun with gangs and cartels. Very foreboding.

I believe our biggest concern is US and globally Israel. I don’t think Canadians need worry about Russia.
