Misinformation and Fake News brought the US to where it is today, will it have the same result in Canada?

Can Canadians be informed enough to disarm the trolls and ensure Canada's values remains Peace, Order, and Good Government?

Fr Global:

Canada is “interested” in potentially procuring the Gripen fighter jet from Sweden’s Saab, Industry Minister Melanie Joly said, adding Canada “didn’t get enough” out of the F-35 fighter jet deals from US Lockheed Martin

The Gripen will create 10,000 jobs for Canadians

This story is concerning

I did a research project for the band in Kitimat and was horrified by the lack of access people on the reserve had to ambulances and the process they had to go through to get to the hospital

Rural hospitals are under resourced and too far fr the next hospital

As I look for work, I see more jobs popping up from companies looking to position themselves to take advantage of the new projects

Indigenous relations is popping up more often - not my expertise though

Still, good to see companies getting ready for the future

Anyone surprised by this announcement?

The tariffs, Job insecurity, and political chaos is showing up in US corporate financials

Will Canadian businesses show a different result?

Or are we destined to follow the US consumer spending trends?

And rightly so, this man (PP) seeks to divide our country and serve the interests of the American right.

What Trump thought:

“We’re buying icebreakers, & Canada wants to join us in the buying of icebreakers,” Mr. Trump told reporters. “We don’t want to have a partner in the buying of icebreakers. We don’t need a partner.”

He changed his mind
