The new strategy centres on Over-the-Horizon Radar tech. The systems use the ionosphere as a massive mirror in the sky. By bouncing radio frequencies off the upper atmosphere, the radar can peer around the curvature of the Earth. Extends our reach to over 3,000 kilometres into the North. #cdnpoli

It’s never been about money or resources. Republican values are just different from normal people. If it’s not gonna turn a profit, they’re not interested. That’s why I’m a democrat. People first. Those warehouses for immigrants turn a profit.

Sarah J. Jackson @sjjphd.bsky.social · 20h

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
