Liberals need to realise that going all in on F35s is a politically stupid move.
The ultimate betrayal and hypocrisy.
The partnership with Sweden and Saab is what Canada wants.

Considering how daunting of a task it is to detangle ourselves from the rapidly-collapsing US economy, it really is pretty incredible to see us on an upward trajectory so quickly.
This is why it pays to bet on Canada, and not gamble our sovereignty in an attempt to cling to obsolete US relations.

I have a DEEP suspicion of Brexiters that still exist today.
Sure there were people that were lied to in 2016... But if you were a Brexiter in 2016 and still are TODAY in 2025.....
Red flags....
#Brexit like #MAGA are at this point beyond reasonable doubt efforts to divide and weaken the West.

Brexit the Elephant is exhausted and realises no one in Westminster actually wants to see him any more.
“They’re too busy making up excuses about why FOM is about small boats and why people don’t like immigrants”
“Perhaps they should actually ask people”, he lamented.
