Canada's announced acquisition of the Saab GlobalEye AWACS aircraft means the RCF will have a modern capable platform it may or may not mean we will get Gripen but here's one thing it definitely does mean: We will not buy the American Boeing E-7 Wedgetail And that's a clear statement 🇨🇦🇪🇺

The danger is looming, Maga armed private militia fanatically loyal to their God-emperor. That force can be turned on Americans and just as easily on Canada. Time to think what role Canadians of all political stripes will play. This is getting real 1/

This is neither insignificant or earth shattering but it is another troll on our country and a clear signal that as with fentanyl, nothing we do will ever be enough to satisfy this US administration. They are not interested in a strong Canada 1/ www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Hey Maple #Maga, not another word about China ok? Your Maga masters in Washington are sending a heavyweight delegation to Beijing while you wait on chafed, bended knee for "access" to the US market 🤣 We need to pursue all trading relationships that are beneficial for our country.

The article is well written and accurate, the many hundreds of replies on Twitter are full of MagaBot and troll comments that are part of the organized online campaign to belittle and demoralize Canadians. Understand it when you see it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hopefully the federal government goes in the direction of a formation with an armed military reserve and unarmed civil defense type of structure, locally based, that will allow many Canadians to contribute. This is very much overdue and needs a sense of urgency theconversation.com/canada-urgen...

Update on Canada's military mobilization plans, options to be presented to government very soon. There will be challenges no matter what political decisions are made, this will be logistically very difficult but needed. Interesting to hear opposition Conservatives calling for it as well, 1/

This is getting serious very fast, the separatists definitely played fast and lose with the law and consequences are incoming but they will cry foul and claim they are being suppressed. Maga in the US will claim the freedom loving patriots of Alberta need help - see where this is going? 1/

Good to see media reports about this. Canada is currently the subject of an orchestrated, funded online campaign to divide and discourage us, it's a direct attack on our right to exist. Understand what it is when you see it. globalnews.ca/news/1183107...

When the dust settles on the air war over Ukraine, the Ukrainian Air Force's precision bombing campaign, using adapted Soviet aircraft and western types, will prove to have been as effective as their use of drones, and far more effective than Russian aerial bombing.

For Canadians the continued disintegration of this president means we must stay laser focused on building deterrence/resilience against future assaults (someday possibly kinetic) from the US. The threat will not disappear when he is gone heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-4-2026

There's a difference between criticism of Canadian Armed Forces recruiting with the aim to improve it at a time of rapid expansion and shitting all over it in order to push the idea that Canada is broken and needs Maga to save it from the threat of a "great replacement"

Any rapid influx of recruits into the military will have problems and clearly some have been identified. That said, the gleefulness with which the Maga crowd are jumping on this is more about slamming Canada than about real concern for the Canadian military. 1/ www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

www.facebook.com/share/p/17J2... Relentless attacks on our military - bots, trolls and anti-Canada **sholes. They like on any post like this one on FB. See this for the organized campaign it is...and look beyond it. We build We defend Deterrence is real, don't buy the Maga lies.

www.facebook.com/share/p/1B9G... Scanning the CAF FB page, one thing that really jumped out among the posts about operations, careers, ect was the post about increased recruitment and the flood of trolls and bots dumping all over it , many claiming to be former CAF personnel 1/

The American right wing influencers keep piling on to this one - understand the intention behind this, it's right out of the Russian playbook against Ukraine, delegitimize and signal that action will be needed to "free an oppressed people". This is a national security threat.

During the illegal occupation of Ottawa in 2022, American right wing influencers cheered it on. They remain actively involved in undermining our legitimacy as well as triggering extremists on both sides of the border. Understand what this is and for what purpose this campaign is being conducted.

The M2000 was always an obvious option for transitioning the Ukrainian fighter fleet to western aircraft and it remains a gateway to eventual delivery of Rafales.

Our land, the ancestral land of First Nations, together with the CAF proudly asserting national sovereignty. The Rangers are a blueprint for an expanded Supplementary Reserve citizen defence force that will likely be announced later this year 1/ youtu.be/gDT6UGkL6eQ?...

This news report was flooded with Maga troll comments, the usual BS about our "tampon army" ect. Again, this is part of an orchestrated campaign to belittle and demoralize us - they don't want us to strengthen the CAF and assert our sovereignty. Deterrence is real, don't buy the Maga lies.

The propaganda against Canada continues, from the outright lie about language to a conspiracy theory about foreign born soldiers (I was one once) being used against our civilian population. 1/

This much needed news. It's no panacea but a step in the right direction, we ignored national defense for far too long, that has changed and the challenges will be met. The future expansion of the reserves will give more of us a chance to serve our nation. 1/

This propaganda line is spreading - Canada increasing its military in order to use it against its own people - and Maga of course will come to the rescue. See this for what it is, a national security threat.

As always, a fascinating discussion between @justin-br0nk.bsky.social and @wardcarroll.bsky.social youtu.be/onSiPm9ujOE?...

It might be "trucker convoy 2.0" or some other blockade/protest. Maybe political agitation, maybe any number of action to destabilize the country, but something is brewing, plans are being hatched. It's going to be a fraught time and everyone who loves this nation needs to think of what they can do

Laughable on one level, but this is part of a larger campaign to discredit our democracy and activate/agitate extremist groups (on both sides of the border)to action against "communist Canada". This will have real, tangible results, maybe sooner than we think, and we must prepare.

Hey Canada. We have a serious problem with our neighbor we need to plan for. We're on the edge now. youtu.be/HuOLvvlmhMg

The online campaign against Canada is organized and involves effective trolling techniques - these people know what they're doing. One method is delegitimization - a hard and fast attack on the person who challenges them aimed and taking complete control. No discussion, just dominance.

"young people doodle on a notepad therefore the Canadian military is useless". Beyond idiotic - NEWSFLASH-recruits are young, I was 27 when I did QL2 and was an old guy on the course. Recognize this for the anti-Canada propaganda it is and understand how to counter it.

Our country continues to be the target of a well though out campaign - this line common and has been for some time. The intent to to scare and demoralize us. "Your woke military is useless" "resistance is futile" "submission to Maga is inevitable" 1/

This line is being repeated, it first appeared about a year ago and on both occasions triggered responses from Magas who want to attack Canada. This is part of a much bigger campaign to demoralize Canadians and activate extremists in the US. 1/

Recent operations by the Fuerza Aérea Mexicana and Armada de Mexico seem to indicate that investment in modern, capable helicopters has given them the capability to effectively support ground forces in the current threat environment 1/

Post something from the 70's

Confirmation this morning from the news conference in Mexico that in addition to helicopters yesterday's operation against narco head El Mancho, was also backed up by T-6C Texan II light strike aircraft. No indication they were needed to fire on the target

It sucks, would have been great to get the win. It's time to get on with the hard work of really asserting our sovereignty - the national discussion is happening, planning underway at DND with government decisions this year. We will have many ways to contribute, think of what role you will play

Sharing a bunch of screenshots of Fuerza Aérea Mexicana and Armada de Mexico helicopters operations today in #Jalisco #Mexico

Situation in #Jalisco, Mexico appears to be very serious. Reports that Guardia Nacional UH-60 was hit by ground fire (slight damage) which indicates the cartel fighters are very heavily armed and engaging directly with security forces. 1/ www.facebook.com/share/p/16er...

This is well worth listening to and @wardcarroll.bsky.social's excellent podcast is guest hosted here by former Fuerza Aérea Mexicana pilot @drlaplace.bsky.social

We had already committed to 16, further orders were going to happen because you can't have an orphaned fleet of 16 - a full wing is the absolute minimum of a viable force for one aircraft type We are probably headed for a mixed fighter fleet with at least 40-50 F-35's www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Excellent discussion and in particular it was interesting to see all three guests mention the role an expanded Supplementary Reserve might play, there are many of use former CAF members and people with many skills, eager to be part of this

And this morning he was discussing working with Alberta separatists. This is real folks, recall the arrest of anti government extremists in Coutts AB during the Ottawa occupation.👇🏼 1/

Well worth listening to, some interesting and uncomfortable truths being pointed out by @hugh258.bsky.social

This not a crazy idea - the Canadian military did have nuclear weapons - bombs on Germany based CF-104's and Genie rockets in NORAD assigned CF-101's. The weapons were US-controlled but our people trained in their delivery. youtu.be/PVO7r_iU4Is?...
