This stuff is super well organized... it would be nice if some of the journalists who lied about the trucker Convoy spent some time figuring out who's funding these protests

10 massive Canadian federal projects (2010-2025) that delivered almost ZERO benefits or were never built: 1) Phoenix Pay System. $5B+ wasted, still broken payroll for 290,000 federal employees. 2) ArriveCan App. $60M+ for a pandemic app now obsolete. 3) High Frequency Rail (HFR/Alto). Decades of studies, $60-90B+ estimates, zero track laid. 4) RADARSAT Constellation. $1B+ satellites with years of delays & overruns. 5) CH-148 Cyclone Helicopters. 20+ yrs late, billions extra, limited opportunities. 6) Assault-Style Gun Buyback . $100M+ spent, pilot got just 25 guns. 7) Canada Infrastructure Bank flops (e.g. Mapleton, Lake Erie Connector). Billions committed, projects cancelled, sunk costs. 8) Fixed-Wing SAR Aircraft. Repeated delays, still no full replacement. 9) NEOSSat Satellite . Years late, over budget, limited value. 10) Canada Space Agency long-term satellite/space strategy. Repeated failed plans, capability gaps. Tens of billions down the drain. Classic Ottawa waste. I can easily think of 20 more wasted project (2 billion trees, Lag Megantic rail, Stellantis battery plant, Canada Post, Air CAnada bailouts, cricket plant....)

Yesterday, NORAD fighter jets via US aircraft, escorted two passenger planes to Montreal-Trudeau International following a reported security incident. The planes landed safely, and two men were arrested.  FBI surveillance uncovered a plot by two Canadian teens to simultaneously attack their high schools. The FBI shared this critical intelliengece with Interpol who gave it to Canadian authorities leading to their arrests. Yeah, we don't need America. 🙄

MAJOR BREAKING: We’re spending $200 MILLION to avoid using Elon Musk SPACE X So we can launch satellites with a company that is 100% AMERICAN OWNED. Let that sink in. To stick it to ELON we are going add more cost with ZERO proven track record This is a 🇺🇸 START UP COMPANY

Canada just signed a $200 million deal for a new spaceport in Nova Scotia 👀 The 10-year agreement aims to give Canada its own launch site so Canada doesn’t have to rely on SpaceX and other foreign rockets to get satellites into orbit. The deal will support building independent launch capability on Canadian soil for satellites and defence needs. It will still take years before it’s fully running.
