@WRZUSA1776 @RepTiffany @DeptofDefense @PeteHegseth @POTUS @mtgreenee @GovKathyHochul Rainmaker Co is an American company. I think you might mean it's a tragedy of the commons rather than a national security issue.

@RepTiffany You also need to investigate what they are spraying across the Southern Ontario skies which wafts over into NY State. We the People have the right to know. This is a matter of National Security! @DeptofDefense @PeteHegseth @POTUS @mtgreenee @GovKathyHochul

The Upper Midwest has suffered from repeated waves of smoke due to Canadian wildfires. Today I joined my colleagues from WI & MN to demand better forest management in Canada. Our communities shouldn’t suffer because of poor decisions made across the border.

Trump's demands to Zelenskyy (the defender): 1) Formal apology 2) Give up the minerals 3) Hold elections even though Ukrainian law forbids it 4) Declare Russia as the non-aggressor 5) Give up all the temporarily occupied territories to Russia Trump's demands to Putin (the aggressor): Absolutely nothing. This cannot be stressed enough - Trump is allied with Putin.

Canadians are done with Trump’s shit. Instead of backing down, they’ve settled on $155B of retaliatory tariffs (on the same day they’ve asked the UK for nuclear guarantees against the US) And here’s the critical part: -Most Canadian imports to the US are raw materials, at preferred prices, that the US doesn’t have other sources for. -Most US exports to Canada are finished products that Canada has other sources for, even if less preferred. -US oil refining is 100% reliant on Canadian processing minerals. -US fertilizer and thus US farming, is reliant on Canadian minerals and potash. When it comes to trade, the unique relationship between Canada and the US means Canada can punch *FAR* above its weight in how its tariffs impact America. You’d rather have $20 of generic Chinese tariffs, than $1 of targeted Canadian ones. If Trump doesn’t back down on this, Canada can continue to tighten the screws. And honestly the political will of Canadians united in hatred of this moment and not wanting to be pushed around, suggests that Canada’s population is far less likely to blink first, when compared to a divided, exhausted and price-gouged American population. In wars we talk about the “defender benefit” in trade wars that holds true as well. Having something worth fighting for and a unified hate of a common enemy is a powerful thing.

Dear @nationalpost: You're giving Lomborg *10 columns* to obfuscate reality, minimize real risks to Canadians, and advocate dramatic policy changes for a country with which he has no citizenship ties. Will you give some of us Canadian climate policy folks a platform to respond?

@RCRBuck Is there another way to cultivate the airborne mindset without the Maroon baret? Could you insert an experience or a series of experiences to the wider CAF to get an 80% solution to the fitness, trust, mindset benefits or do you need the individual to rise to the occasion?

If western militaries are not willing to invest in what airborne forces need to operate, then are they just burning resources on a force with no role in modern war? Is cultivating the airborne mindset worth the resources, without a legitimate operational output? Thoughts?

Airborne forces are often seen as elite, but is that because of what they do or because of how they train? If we can’t enable mass tactical para ops, is the training still worth the cost? or should we focus on spreading that culture of excellence across the broader army? A 🧵

The trouble in an integrated supply chain. American retailer selling Canadian products. It's a start and greater awareness will yield improved choices.

Too bad the US wasn’t so worried about fentanyl czars back when their company, Purdue, was getting everybody hooked on it.

A pause isn't a cessation, especially with shifting goalposts #buyCanadian #TradeWar

Some snowy weather in Canada means it would be more fitting if it were the #Disney #Frozen plane! #YEG @WestJet

Multinational science Delphi: - #COVID is airborne (100%); - indoor areas drive transmission (100%); - N95 masks help (96%); - public health pushes false info by denying airborne (90%); - vax alone can't end COVID (97%); - false info undermines social cohesion for response (99%)

@MarkLil05744037 @Billius27 There was "... 386 academic, health, non-governmental organization, government and other experts in COVID-19 response from 112 countries and territories..." on the panel

@Billius27 Who's paying the salaries of the panellists?

Cool project in the Canadian north! Could probably tell a good 🐋 tale or two at the end of it!

@KeithinMex @dale_dsll @MidOfficer @KeithinMex -can't speak to what you perceived but there have been drastic changes in lifestyle and nutrition which have occurred since the 00s, let alone since the 70s. Video below is from perspective of US recruiting. youtu.be/sWN13pKVp9s

@dale_dsll @MidOfficer I was in from the 80s to the 00s, and recently attended an RMC grad parade. I was shocked at the level of obesity compared to 20 years ago. It's not alright. Many of the young grads likely couldn't climb a 5' fence unassisted. It did not instill confidence.

If you never served in the military but want to comment on the physical appearance, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity of a military member and how you imagine it affects their job performance, I have prepared a handy guide: Don't. Your opinion is worthless.

Hivemind- when is somebody no longer infectious from #Covid? Provincial regulations say five days self- isolation from start of symptoms & a mask indoors for another five. How does the math work to define the risk delta of day 7, 9, 11 or 16? @TheWHN @DrEricDing

@papalia_chris @haynesdeborah @GCHQ I came here for this

NEW: Russia is running out of weapons for its war in Ukraine and the costs to the Kremlin are “staggering” in terms of soldiers and equipment lost, UK spy chief Sir Jeremy Fleming, head of @GCHQ, will say in a speech on Tuesday. 1/

@pbontoast1 @CanadianForces Tasking CAF as a catch-all is scope creep & reqs a refocus. Def a WoG approach which leads to larger rdns & resilience infrastructure questions - climate change will inc severity + freq of events- atmospheric rivers; flooding; droughts; fires; storms etc.

As we debate @CanadianForces spt to domestic emergencies, let’s flip the script every now and then and ask why provinces (responsible) don’t have a full suite of full time Emerg Mgmt capabilities (HQs, helos, sandbagging, own heavy equip, own personnel, etc)

Dinner on Mars? Two food security experts say it's possible. "If we imagine a food system on Mars we will unlock solutions for here on Earth," says @Feeding9Billion in tonight's episode with co-author @DrLenoreN. cbc.ca/1.6604758 @EdenProject @ProvisionC @NicolaLuksic

No one is inconvenienced by better ventilation.

We could have acted on climate in the 1990s, but special interests persuaded us it wasn’t necessary The whole reason we need such emergency action now is because we listened to these delayers then It would be crazy to do so again now
