I'm sure they look at BC and think the same thing of us lol. Maybe a more centered Conservative govt will actually do some good around here but I still have my doubts considering how ridiculous those who are further to the right are. NDP has definitely dropped the ball on a lot of issues. I suppose not allowing Rustad to take control will be the NDP's legacy moment for the decade.

Some good news for Canada: https://spaceq.ca/launch-the-north-c...e-high-ground/
Canada cannot depend on NASA anymore for launching satellites or military assets into space. We are getting a space port in Canso, Nova Scotia.
-from the article:
In one fell swoop, the government has traded decades of sitting on the sidelines for a concrete commitment to sovereign launch, anchored by a $200-million spaceport lease.
Driven by the escalating militarization of space and the vulnerabilities of relying on foreign launch providers, the Department of National Defence (DND) has laid out a dual-track strategy to secure the country’s orbital autonomy. Beyond the Maritime Launch Services agreement, Ottawa is injecting an initial $24.9 million into three domestic aerospace startups—NordSpace, Canada Rocket Company (CRC), and Reaction Dynamics (RDX). “Space is fundamental to modern military operations. The Canadian Armed Forces rely on space-enabled capabilities for everything from communications and navigation to awareness of the operating environment. Strengthening Canada’s ability to operate in space will help ensure we continue to build the warfighting capabilities needed to defend Canada and contribute to allied operations in an increasingly complex security environment.” – General Jennie Carignan, Chief of the Defence Staff
Roadmap:
end of 2026: Canadian military launch pad is operational.

We get our own launch pad, AND this spending will count to our NATO GDP commitments... win-win.

I don't think the Indigenous community is open to being colonized again.

Normally they can only allocate 30% to non EU members, but Carney negotiated us into SAFE, allowing access to 80% of the $150B SAFE fund

Called it. I told people when we where getting rid of the carbon tax that gas companies would just pocket the difference and now here we are. The cost of getting a barrel of oil out of the ground in Alberta has not changed.

Lol no Canadian PM would ever go on Joe Rogan. I think PP has come to the realization that he will never be elected PM.

Still, I am not sure why anyone in official capacity would want to talk to him, since he doesn't actually have any legal power to enact changes in policies.

Why they keep parading PP instead of writing him off.
First they made him take off his glasses cause he looks like a nerd.
Then they made him hit the gym or juice or both to make him more masculine.
They barely mention his wife cause she looks like a “foreigner”
Time to move on. Im sure there’s a plan to replace him with Doug Ford since he has ambitions to go federal.
