We need to get comfortable with a few things that Canada has never really been comfortable with

1) Our oligopolies treat us no better than international NMC's would. It's weird to say at a time like this, but we need more non Canadian competition, not less. We need to buy Canadian made products more, absolutely....but Canadian service providers? The "3 oligopolies in a trenchcoat" that make up our economy? They're in the way. Now, with that said....Europe please. Vodafone would shake up our telecom industry, Aldi would feed Loblaw's their lunch, etc.

2) Climate change is fucking important....but...fuck....we really need to spend about 100 billion dollars building out energy infrastructure. Basically a self funded marshall plan. Pipelines, refinery upgrades, port infrastructure, rail...so much rail, passenger and separate cargo so we don't lac magentic ourselves again.

3) We've gotten to ignore our military for...well...ever. Can't anymore. Just can't. Have to find the money for it. Fix procurement first, but we have to find the money into getting ahead of the curve on tomorrow's military needs. The Ukies have shown us that domestic drone industries can be bootstrapped in a fucking cave, we need to fund the development of a domestic arms industry.

4) Send an open invitation for employment for any and all top personnel from multiple disciplines being fired. Military, NOAA etc etc etc. This is a great opportunity to get some of the top people in their profession as they will be hungry for retribution against a government who turned their back on them

A reverse brain drain. We lost our best and brightest to the US back in the 60's and 70's. Now we can get some payback.
 
If you want an Elon chuckle, I was just catching up on my Mexican news. Carlos Slim apparently cancelled a contract with Starlink worth 7 Billion today over a tweet insinuating Slim has ties with mexican cartels.

I'm looking for better sources than the 2 I found though, both can be dodgy at times. The tweet definitely happened though, and Slim has cancelled contracts over Trump bullshit before during Trump 1, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if a tweet cost Elon 7 Billie.
 
Answers by March 6? Too much time. Dude should answer now bc, of course, he can. Getting undeserved (but necessary) fair treatment.

 
“They love the chaos,” he said, “because it leaves all of us out here not knowing if we can continue a program.”
