Queen Ursula promises to turn EU into military super-power!

If you happened to catch her speech at the Munich gabfest you know what I'm talking about. The President of the European Commission isn't content to lead an army of desk jockeys... she wants to command a real fighting force wielding real weapons! And because Ursula's army will be a pan-european force, it will naturally confine procurement of weapons large and larger strictly to EU member countries. While Canada isn't in the EU, we did just join a new procurement plan. The plan is to out-produce Russia in war supplies. To do that we just have to rebuild our manufacturing capacity that we spent the last fifty years off-shoring. This could be a good plan for Canada, because unlike every EU country, we don't rely on American LNG to power our manufacturing sector. Heavy industry is that part of the economy that builds machines of all sorts, including war machines like tanks and war-ships and so forth. The Europeans used to do that stuff back when they had access to low-cost energy, because heavy manufacturing is extremely energy-intensive. Now that they're dependent on American LNG, at 4x the price of pipeline gas, Europe's heavy industries will never be competitive again.
