Oh so like, one gun? When I think of Canada, a well supplied military doesn’t come to mind. They’re basically riding the wave of “America will protect me”
It turns out, what you think of Canada is entirely irrelevant.
Methinks someone divorced a Canadian and is super bitter about it 😄
Who the fuck says "methinks"??
I do, when the occasion calls for it.
The occasion never calls for it.
That is untrue.
The occasion can be very vocal about such things if you know how to listen.
That’s fair. My opinions on Canada are about as irrelevant as Canada is to the rest of the world.
You all do anything about that assassin from India yet, or you still asking for Daddy America’s permission?
Damn bro, you are so badass.
!!! WARNING !!!
Don't cut yourself on this person's edge...
You still sending bombs to genocide brown kids?
Canada is responsible for many of the the rules that exist in the Geneva convention. They have a reputation for war crimes and being merciless.
Even if the pop culture version of Canada is about being nice, they've got their dark spots.
At this point it’s better to send 0 out of 1 then send 1 of 1.
It's not about our own under funded military, it's about the export products. Canada has a sizable arms industry. For example we have exported over 1000 Senator armoured vehicles to Ukraine. We are a project partner in the F35 program as well, which I assume will mean that deal will be grandfathered to allow Israel to continue to receive them. This is unequivocally a good announcement, hopefully it will lead to more nations moving away from supplying the IDF.
