Exploding Our Debt

I would suggest a headline change to “Carney buys votes in Quebec and Ontario“. That aside, wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy 155 mm artillery shells from places that already make such a commonly available munition? It’s also worth asking if this is a case of governments getting ready to fight the last war.

Ottawa will pump more than $1 billion in public funds into new facilities in Ingersoll, Ont., and Repentigny, Que., for heavy munitions used in artillery.

Canada’s top general might want to start a new career in standup comedy. She’s got a few one-liners that are guaranteed to get some laughs.

And like all the militaries in the world … especially when we’re looking at our allies, we’re going to be ready to go as-is.

All of our services right now are crafting and positioning themselves to be able to take the additional number of people coming in. …Everybody is all-hands-on-deck in doing that. It’s quite exciting, I have to say.

Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter

“President Donald Trump revealed the Trump-class battleships Monday at his Palm Beach estate, joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Navy Secretary John Phelan, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. These 30,000-ton vessels upgrade from current destroyers with more missile tubes, space for hypersonics, railguns, and lasers, aiming to build two initially and scale to 20-25 amid China’s naval growth. The White House calls it a Golden Age for defense to modernize the aging 287-ship fleet, though critics like former Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery question the $5 billion-plus designs’ focus on aesthetics over lethality against China.” – Grok AI

Blacklock’s- McGuinty Takes Coast Guard

Cabinet yesterday transferred control of the Canadian Coast Guard to the defence department under Minister David McGuinty. It followed a 2024 audit that complained the maritime service fell into disrepair when managed by the Department of Fisheries.

The transfer followed a 2024 Evaluation Of Fleet Procurement And Maintenance that rated the Coast Guard obsolete. “The Canadian Coast Guard fleet is aging as vessels approach and exceed their intended end of service life,” said the report. “Across the fleet 30 percent of vessels have less than five years left until they reach their end of service life.”

The Future Is Now

The concept of troops going to the battlefield in armored vehicles may well be a thing of the past, if this YouTube video is any indication.  In the Ukraine today, supplies going to the front have to be transported not by vehicle but by drone. It’s simply impossible to get supplies there by any other means, given the nearly impossible task of running a gauntlet of drone swarms. This ought to serve as a lesson to those in charge of determining defense spending priorities.

Blacklock’s- Suspensions Were Symbolic

The Department of Foreign Affairs says last year it suspended 34 permits to ship military goods to Israel. Reminded of its repeated statements that Canada never exported “lethal items” to Israel, a department spokesperson confirmed the suspensions were largely symbolic.

Cabinet has repeatedly stated no Canadian weaponry has been shipped to Israel in decades. “We haven’t exported arms to Israel in 30 years,” International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen told reporters in 2024.

Those procurement contracts don’t write themselves. It takes time for Carney insiders to set up their phony baloney numbered companies.
