Hopefully Canada orders gripens

I hope so too, but I'm also really sad to be living in a world where we're desiring and celebrating war machines again. I miss the days when Canada had peacekeepers, and we were able to solve most of our problems with words, and money, and trade, not violence and death and horror. I hope one day we can find our way back there again, but it doesn't seem like it will be anytime soon.

You can’t have peace without defense. Until the USA disarms Canadians need to arm their country against fascist invasions.

I know. It makes me sad.

At least Canada isn't buying F-35s en masse like Denmark is doing.
