Do we not also assume the US is doing this?

It seems like its just another tool of modern warfare. This could be an example right here, painting Russia and China as if they are somehow different, an AI is going to reinforce on that.

Which part are you skeptical of, I'm assuming the petro Canada part?

It was my comprehension of this:

We have dwinding productivity investment in Canada, as the Bank of Canada always points out in their pressers, and have had for a while now. Much of this is high tax, regulation, and bureacracy; this is being combated by trying to seed private investment using tax dollars, as Freeland has been talking about for a while now.

Just consider yourself when you go to invest, would you invest in the US who is cutting regulation and corporate taxes, or Canada who is worried about indigenous groups and is talking about having corporations pay their fair share? The answer is likely why the US is 62.70% of the global marketcap, and that is what we are trying to entice while not cutting our regulatory burden. This is my take on it anyways, but I'm just some guy.

Carney has already cut the capital gains tax, that we were told was created to create generational fairness. As well as the carbon tax, which we were told was a net benefit to the poor. Given the polls seemingly Canadians arent progressive, and they hate taxes on the rich.

I feel like the NDP and the conservatives are both better than the Liberals. The NDP will raise taxes to actually fund the programs, which will lead to higher average standards of living and less future austerity; where the Conservatives will cut and lead to greater productivity gains and greater foreign investment into Canada.

Whereas the Liberals seem to be low taxes, tighter regulation, more unfunded programs, and now using even more debt in an attempt to force capital formation as if it will be different from the last decade. They just seem to say whatever they have to to get elected at any given time with no static leanings left or right, a party of non-denominational opportunists.

Modern war will soon look like an autonomous drone light show moving towards your military base, and the winner will be whoever can starve their enemy of advanced components and rare earth elements, hence China ceasing their exports of rare earths which make up 80% of the US supply.

Its to supports good American union jobs according to Trump. Which was how tariffs were sold the last time as well. It went pretty stupidly as expected.

Musk already got what he wanted. He bought Trump, and Trump will give Palantir every ounce of government data to analyze, which was likely a sticking point for Palantir to cement them as the only viable product for the US governments future military applications. Once pandoras box is open for classified data its a little bit hard to close it, especially once they gain a dependence on it.

Palantir then buys his crappy xAI platform that recently bought Twitter.

Ah sorry you're right, I wrote this quickly.

But he was also allowed to retain his seat without objection.
