@Oceanbreeze473 Are those participation trophies? After all, she must've been with everyone in thought. And she possibly suffered a paper cut or two, too??

Women in Canada’s military do not serve in combat roles. General Jennie Carignan wears all these medals. For doing what?

@RotaryVictoria @nationalpost The King is Canada’s Head of State and the legal authority of the Crown. His powers are real but are normally exercised by the Governor General on the advice of Canada’s elected government.

@tleehumphrey Canada and the United States are bound the the Ogsdenburg Treaty of 1940 that created the Permanent Joint Board on Defence. It is an advisory body established at the request of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It meets 2x a year for high-level policy consultation on continental defense.

@James_Mc666 @globeandmail Canadians elect candidates they believe will best represent them. Parties are an artificial construction of like minded people until they are not. MP's are first amongst equals in the house of commons and must serve all their constituents. Parties and the PM are not elected.

There is nothing democratic about floor crossing. The practice needs to be stopped! No MP should be allowed to simply cross the floor and retain MP status, no matter in which direction they cross. If they want to cross, they should be required to resign their seat and resign from the party they represented. A by-election should be called and, if they win that seat under their newly chosen party, only then should they once more become the MP for that riding.

@nationalpost Indigenous rhetoric: Against Colonialism: check No Kings: Check Land acknowledgment: Check Meeting with the colonial King who is Canada’s head of state exemplifies that this is purely performative, and legitimizes the very colonial systems they pretend to oppose.

BREAKING REPORTER: "If this attack happened [in Kuwait on March 1], why didn't you inform Canadians before?" PM CARNEY: "Well, I'm not the only spokesperson for the government, but, I'll confirm... the members of the Canadian Forces are all safe and sound."

Lovable Liberal and his Old English sheepdog
THEY'RE IGNORING TRUMP, AND MAKING THEIR OWN SIDE DEAL! France and Italy are reportedly negotiating with Iran to let their tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. This would be a crushing defeat for Trump! Your thoughts?

@MLB120012 @junonewscom @CherylR09307747 Quite a fair response. At last count, more than 900 positions in the DND public affairs functional authority. There is a BG PAO, three Col-level PAOs, a Company’s worth of senior officer PAOs and 140+ GOFOs - but NOT ONE uniform can be spared to regularly brief the public? Shame!

Former Army JAG here. No quarter orders are a violation of the law of war and Geneva conventions. This is the same order reportedly given during the Caribbean boat strikes. @SecWar is establishing a pattern of issuing illegal orders. I’ve trained hundreds of soldiers on the law of war — our service members have an obligation to follow that law.

Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can't stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.

@NoahGairn Someone needs to remind them the last time we had German build subs with HMCS in front, that our procurement was so fast because...well they lost.

Odds on Carney traveling by cargo plane to Norway? Because it sure looks like he’s implying he did with this clip.

Carney says the US is Canada's most important ally... but Q to the German, Norwegian and Canadian leaders "Norwegian authorities repeatedly emphasize that the United States is Norway's most important ally." "Do the German chancellor and the Canadian prime minister still believe that the US can be trusted when it comes to security in the north?" "Our defense of the north is integrated, I'll give an example, through NORAD, which is since for my entire lifetime has been the integrated listening post air defense system in the Canadian north and high Arctic, fundamentally integrated with the United States." "But I will say at the same time, and this was a huge element of what we announced yesterday, yesterday, is that we are, as Canada, are taking control and responsibility for defense of our Arctic, more control and responsibility for defense of our Arctic."
