Very well put together thread on what Canada's future defence might look like.
Mere months ago, the following words would have seemed wildly hyperbolic: Canada🇨🇦 must strengthen its defences vs. the US, fast. Our democracy + sovereignty is in serious jeopardy. We only have a few months to get going.

Time for Canadians to run from Scotiabank. That dimwit is literally calling for the emaciation of his own bank, including all Canadian banks.
It's been a HELL of a week from the Trump Regime & right wing extremists. It's happening here in #Canada too with Bloomberg reporting that Scotiabank CEO Scott Thomson sees ‘Trump doctrine’ as positive for growth, as he shared at Canadian Bank CEO Conference. Time to boycott Scotiabank.

I see Chevron, Exxon and other Oils popped on Friday, just before the invasion. Turns out, Trump admitted he discussed the plans with them in advance. Some people got massively rich on Friday, which could be the whole point of this invasion. Oil will never get developed in any significant volume.

Since the US Supreme Court rules that a President can't be held legally accountable for crimes, prosecuting Madero in the US will blow up on Trump, like most things.

With the massive energy requirements/waste for data centers, ideas like these are going to be essential.
Finland is a leader in capturing waste heat from data centers using existing pipe systems and feeding it into city-wide district heating networks, effectively turning server heat into a sustainable energy source for homes, schools, and businesses, significantly cutting emissions and costs.

There is no Saskatchewan potash or uranium or O&G, it is Canada's potash, uranium and O&G.

And exactly what pipeline are they talking about?
