There is much about this story that is staggering. But the inclusion of military members while deeply troubling is not surprising.

A story:

I was part of the RWE CAF research network funded by the Department of National Defence to study IMVE in the military for three years 2020-2023.
Huge news out of Canada: Military members arrested on terrorism charges:

“The three accused were planning to create anti-government militia...they took part in military-style training, as well as shooting, ambush, survival and navigation exercises”

If you’re uncertain about what Trump has planned next, don’t feel bad! I just talked to a former senior trade official in his last administration who is just as uncertain as most of us. Story coming later /

“What's unclear is how this tariff threat squares with one of #Trump's major promises of the campaign: to lower the cost of living in general for Americans, and the cost of gas in particular. Oil is Canada's No. 1 export to the United States.” www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7393160

There's been plenty of hypothesizing that Donald Trump's return would mean a bump for the federal Liberals—experienced hands who've dealt with him before, etc.
