I agree, but I'm not the one you need to convince, it's Terry on Facebook who spends 2 hours a day complaining about bike lanes and vegans.

Why would someone as smart as him be uncertain about ensuring every vote counts?

Because it's an absolute waste of political capital to make happen if there isn't a strong movement fighting for it.

The increased Liberal momentum has boosted the NDP's chance to win my riding substantially so I'm definitely grateful for that.

Carney seems like he's open to electoral reform so hopefully this is the last FPTP election.

“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.
