“Canada’s liability would be no greater than US$346.7 million” – the difference between what it had already contributed and what was remaining of the original US$551 million commitment.

Since the analysis was produced, the Liberal government has paid another US$33 million.

Considering that there are Canadian companies that have contracts related to the f35 and they would almost certainly be cancelled or not renewed, running down the clock isn't a terrible idea. The $300+m is already a sunk cost.

It'll probably be easier for you to buy or support Canadian digital media than physical goods.

Contributing to Canadian projects or gofundme's would also be highly direct.

The answer to your question is NO

They seem to endorse multiple and that makes their advocacy much less meaningful IMO because it's undirected.

The problem is there is no best system. I'm sure if there was a popular movement related to any of these they'd throw their support into that, but for now it seems like they're trying to be the everything group.

From another page:

"In addition, Canada will have full and exclusive control over Gripen’s secure data – a unique advantage of our offer. The Gripen Centre in Montreal will host all work on the fighter's mission system and Canadians will carry out this work. With the mission system, communications and technical data all hosted in Canada, Gripen exceeds all industrial, security and controlled goods requirements. With Gripen the Royal Canadian Air Force will have maximum control over sensitive data handling."

It's a no brainer, in a world of digital warfare, needing to rely on a foreign home base is a tremendous liability.

Also an entirely voluntary issue with viable quality alternatives that exists solely due to people not chosing FOSS video games to play.

Examples:

Platformer- Super Tux

FPS- Xotonix

Strategy- Beyond All Reason

If your only goal was to win, why would you want to be handcuffed by the responsibility?

Canada put tariffs on Chinese EVs in Oct of last year. Funny this "retaliation" coincides with more favorable view of Chinese EVs and BYD than with when the tariffs were announced.

Kind of genius timing on their part.

You still have the issue of needing to say what the acronym is for when people ask. There's a good reason why most brands aren't an acronym.

"Education" doesn't really feel like a solution to things that people often lean into cognitive dissonance on.

Everybody has the opportunity to know how reprehensible the conditions the meat that ends up in supermarkets (and probably your local market too) is but very few people are willing to change their diets. Many people talk about caring about 'loving animals' but when it comes down to making changes, the head just usually goes into the sand.

Kurzgesagt did a good video recently on what the cost to improve animal welfare for things that end up on peoples plates would be but the truth is the only reason why we know what those numbers are is because some places have banned certain practices. The only way to realize those benefits is through legal changes, not 3% of people paying 3 times as much for fancy free range eggs.

That said, I'm also generally against banning things, I just don't know how you make that sort of thing less attractive- a Twitter Tax?

That's a good point, I was thinking the same thing regarding your first point but I'm so bitter I couldn't even give him that.
