A sobering read on how Finland and Sweden have prepared their population for potential war with Russia. I think there are things Canada must do to better prepare our population and our defence capability. We no longer have a stable neighbour, we need to adapt. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Troubling times. This, and that fact that Trumpf has covert operatives in Greenland, are why Canada is boosting defence spending and recruitment. Our neighbour is far from stable and a fair-weather ally at best.
The US have operatives in Canada too, with the $500 Million being offered to support the Alberta separatists and Stephen Harper's IDU Co-Chair Mike Roman helping to coordinate the Freedumb Clownvoy, Atlas Group member & fired tRump advisor Paul Alexander marching with PP on Canada Day... come on. 🤨🙄
Yes! those are the operations we’re aware of, and no doubt there are other covert operatives, and not so covert ones like Sean Feucht. I was postulating that we need defence for various reasons, including for when Trump tries to take Greenland. We’re stuck in the middle. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...
Oh, gawd & jeezez, Sean Feucht and the direlect tax-free churches churning up a Bud Light pissfest anarchy in Canada.🙄 These guys' wives are failing society.
Isn’t it great that we can rant on BlueSky and know we’re heard, like really heard, ✌️🇨🇦💪 and feel safe doing it! Gotta love the BlueSky community.
Absolutely!! Gratitude!! 💪🏽 🇨🇦 ✌️
Their wives? Women aren't responsible for what men do, married to them or not.
It was a bit of an eyeroll or sarcastic joke that women who marry Christian CON$ervative men have any say in what message their patriarchal dominant partners spread.
Americans take heed. Canada, despite trump's bullshit, has always been our ally.
Listened to the reportage on CBCRadio this morning.The description of the bomb shelter for 9,000-also used daily for numerous community activities, a playground, cafe, etc.- & various specific prep courses for volunteers,such as how to repair the ventilation system was fascinating. /1
Scary, as well, given how unprepared, on so many levels, we are in Canada.
Us baby boomers are dying off and I can't imagine these next two generations able to do much other than run away.
Not according to the Environics poll referred to in the recent Globe and Mail article “Would you die for Canada?” [on my Timeline]
They do things differently but they'd do us proud.
This older GenX'r would run feomnothing they try! People *can* learn, and we all must. ☺️
How many countries will Putin invade w/Trump's blessing? It's time GOP Congress do their job #ImpeachTrump Replace unqualified stooges he put in charge of Agencies they're destroying. US needs qualified leaders,not aging vengeance, rants, golfing gigs. Jobs lost,Trump and GOP tank the Econ again!
Question: Would we be fighting Russia or the USA? Both?
We need nuclear weapons. That’s it.
“It all begins from individual people," Kuusela emphasized. "Because if your citizens don't get this reality, and they are not willing to do their share — then you can pretty much forget about having comprehensive security and robust defence."
the threat is real
Since Trump meeting Putin in Alaska, (the buffer for Canada)we should be building bunkers perhaps?
Not only that but Putin wants Arctic access that would threaten Canada from the north.
You’re correct, they are coming, sooner or later.
Yes, absolutely!!
Plant Robinia om the border and cut it low, they say it’s like natures barbed wire 😋
I knew the Soviet Union went to war with Finland. What I did not know was that Finland had to give up 10% of their territory including their second largest city.
Should be noted that the Finn's strategically flip flopped during the 2nd WW.
Canada is doing more. Not only has spending increased, Canada has already partnered with Sweden on a major military contract with more to come. Canada can be a military powerhouse in the manufacturing sector. We have all we need to move forward. Forward bound!!
Have they announced a contract w/ Saab? I know they were there reviewing the plane and options but I didn’t hear about an actual contract yet
There is an agreement in the works announced this week. Along with Canadas critical minerals we have everything we need to be a weapons powerhouse. With America’s abdication It’s time for Canada to takes its place among the leaders of the free world. Together it could be made right.
I agree 100%
I suspect that there is no longer zero % chance that the USA will invade if they keep travelling down the current path of dictatorship & fascism. We have so much they want in terms of minerals and water. We should learn from Finland, Ukraine & others that have had to take on any of the super powers
Like Finland and Sweden, Canada shares a border with an aggressor. We must be prepared.
Neighbours* I don't think enough Canadians recognize that we live in between russia and the United States. And both of them are eyeing our resources and waterways. Terrifying.
Thanks for sharing this article @bill-comeau.bsky.social You may find this long, growing thread👇of interest, looking at lessons Canada can draw from other democracies that have to survive next door to a hostile fascist regime. Tl;dr - Canada needs to become a hedgehog, fast.
Rather, Canada needs to become a porcupine with quills of steel. (We have no hedgehogs.)
Haha - fair point! Porcupine it is!
