Why does the Post just regurgitate Liberal talking points? Th real story here is Liberals are shutting down any attempts at investigating Liberal corruption. I guess because the Post enjoys the Liberal bailouts, they are afraid of criticizing the hand that feeds them.

Germany plans to build Europe’s strongest military force by 2039.

Let's take a really deep look at this project as I happen to know a little bit about what's going on. As always, Mario is being misleading and deceptive. This is a legitimate public-private defence contract. He is intentionally omitting critical context, misrepresenting the deal's structure and purpose, and making a ridiculous comparison to SpaceX. The picture going around shows the site's current early-stage appearance. This is accurate. It's currently a gravel road, two sea cans, and a small concrete pad. While it is factually accurate as of right now, Mario weaponizes this snapshot to imply pure waste, fraud, or incompetence. The site is minimally developed right now, but the lease explicitly requires MLS to use the revenue to achieve Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the dedicated DND pad by the end of 2026. This includes building out a launch control centre, payload integration/testing facilities, additional pads, power/roads/safety systems, etc. Mario's post treats the current bare-bones photo as the final product, ignoring that this is anchor-tenant funding to accelerate private development (MLS already had the land under a separate low-cost provincial lease). This is intentional and standard for commercial spaceports worldwide (e.g., many U.S. sites operate on leased private/government land). The model gives DND/CAF priority access to a dedicated pad at a multi-user site while MLS handles operations and expansion. The government gets sovereign launch capability without building/owning everything from scratch. Mario presents this as uniquely scandalous "leasing a field" instead of acknowledging it's a deliberate public-private partnership under Canada's Defence Industrial Strategy. Mario claims SpaceX "spent $200 million building Starbase" as a gotcha. Reality: SpaceX has invested billions into Starbase over years. The physical building doesn't equate the investment. This is part of Canada's new Defence Industrial Strategy to reduce reliance on foreign (primarily U.S.) providers for critical satellites/payloads. It positions Nova Scotia as a launch hub, creates Canadian jobs as 90 percent of all spending must be domestic. It's a cherry-picked "gravel pad = government blows" meme designed for engagement and rage bait by stripping away the lease terms, development obligations, domestic spending rules, paired rocket program, and national security rationale. Mario blows, and is intentionally deceiving people for clicks and monetization.

I want to be clear: American alcohol will only go back on shelves when the U.S. removes its tariffs.

Today, we introduced the Canadian Space Launch Act. 🇨🇦 This legislation will deliver sovereign space launch capabilities to Canada and help create a new $40 billion space launch industry in Canada. We’ve reached the moon, but now we can launch Canadian rockets from home.

This cynical deployment of anti-Americanism is meant to deflect blame for the failure of Liberal policy while galvanizing his base of grey-haired home-owners who have the financial resources to whether the economic storm. He's burning our bridge with America to win votes.

WOW The Department of National Defence changed its screening process for permanent residents, leading to a sharp increase in recruitment. Over a six-month period, 763 permanent residents were recruited, compared to just 177 over the previous 30 months.

Someone in an adjacent team once told me that because leadership doesn't acknowledge pre-incident bugs that were fixed, some people resorted to storing these kind of information with them till the incident happened. Once the incident happened, they would jump in, solve the incident in record time, and then get credited with solving a S1/S2 incident. Next review cycle, they would either get promoted or get good ratings. Not saying this is ethical or good for the team/company, but the entire perf review process needs to change if companies don't want these kinds of things to happen.
