If you found Trudeau's ass-kissing antics in DC yesterday to be an embarrassment, take a look at this story.
Lt. General Wayne Eyre, the freshly minted top HR guy in the Canadian Armed Forces, talks as if armed confrontation with China is imminent; yup, our brave boys and girls in uniform should be "ready to fight tonight."
We won't be taking on the Yellow Peril alone, thankfully. No, we'll be doing that in concert with our allies, who "share our values," as the cliche goes. And, as we all know, the leader of our allies is none other than that guy in Washington whose arse PM Fluffly was smothering in kisses yesterday.
Fighting alongside our allies who share our values has a cost, of course. Enter the "interoperability" canard. Interoperability requires that we and our freedom-and-democracy-spreading allies source our bombs and bullets and attack aircraft from a short list of US "defence" contractors.
Freedom isn't free - it requires sending many tens of billions of Canadian tax dollars to the likes of Boeing, Raytheon, and Lockheed-Martin.
