Eh … now you don’t know what to think huh? 🤔🤪😆
When I say I want zero trade with the US it includes ICE.
Though if these were subject to a safety recall I wouldn’t complain.
Hey, fuck you Canada!
I’m a US citizen, and I’ve seen a lot of canadians complain about the US. But its my turn now. You are helping enable fascism. So fuck you.
That is all.

Why not include the company name? We should be publicly shaming any companys supporting the facist regime nextdoor
Roshel (also known as Roshel Defence Solutions) is a Canadian defense manufacturer specializing in the design, integration, and production of combat-proven armored vehicles; Headquartered in Brampton, Ontario
The original Hebrew name derives from the word “rahel,” meaning “ewe” or female sheep
Also yes the founder and owner is Israeli.
Of course he is.
It’s included as the third bullet point in the summary.
We’ll take your money fascists, but I don’t like that we’re enabling ICE either.
Last time I did research for my blog, there were three armoured vehicle manufacturers in the Toronto area, and highly respected by the world community. That information only surprised people living in Canada.
Dear Canada,
Please don’t.

Dear Canada,

Thank you
Our PM is a feckless neoliberal stooge…Banker. He’s basically a northern Democrat…or a bit to the right.
He doesn’t seem feckless to me.
You kidding?
Buddy was elected to “save” us from Polieve’s conservatism and MAGA…and has been the single most destructive force to the fabric of Canada in modern history. He’s cutting deeper than any conservative could ever hope to, as is he privatizing and outsourcing profits.
Just because our (small L) liberals went back to sleep after they think they averted a disaster doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
The worst part is conservatives have no idea how good they have it and they’re treating him like he’s Chairman Mao. It’s Paul Martin all over again.
The conservatives are pissed of because he’s drinking their milkshake. The electorate moved rightward (Justin Trudeau fatigue) and he moved with them, elbowing the Conservative Party further to the right into unelectable fringe la la land.
The Liberal party has a history of making these rightward shifts. It’s why they’re called “Canada’s Natural Governing Party.” They have no real ideological base, they just see which way the wind is blowing and go that way.
I don’t agree at all that the electorate moved right. Elections are about voter suppression, voter activation, and holding your nose before you vote. This election happened to feature a giant swath of socialist voters abandoning the NDP for the LPC or being suppressed entirely: they didn’t “move right”, they were just swayed by the allure of strategic voting - or turned off entirely.
Then there’s other factors like the chunk of traditional non-voters who were activated by the pandemic…the poor right…maple MAGA. Then there’s the traditional conservative voters (a small group) that stayed home because Pollivre is a bridge too far. Then there’s the armchair liberals that got of their asses and voted for once. On and on. Mash all that together and you have like 70% of Canadians voting…very high, but not great in context. My point is that the same people don’t vote in every election.
and has been the single most destructive force to the fabric of Canada in modern history. He’s cutting deeper than any conservative could ever hope to, as is he privatizing and outsourcing profits.
Lol no. Have you actually been following the policy, and what the Conservatives are suggesting instead?
He’s definitely moved things to the center (it was a change election, PP would have won otherwise), but on the US file he’s doing about as well as anyone could hope for, and hasn’t actually cut much - literally just civil servants. All the social programs are fine. Meanwhile PP’s life’s mission is to kill the CBC.
Most of the carbon tax is still there. There’s a new housing program. He just tricked Alberta into raising it’s carbon tax. And it goes on.
“Hasn’t cut much?” He’s cut everything. Of course the conservatives have been forced to promise deeper cuts than the Liberals because the Liberals occupied all their policy positions.
No, cancelling taxes, cutting government across the board, putting the private sector in charge of housing and privatizing pipelines isn’t “moving to the centre”.
Guessing you’re a Liberal…because you’re repeating their PR.
Literally, it’s just public servants. Read the damn budget - or a summary of the damn budget - if you actually care about the truth.
I could point out the gaps in the plan there are, to prove I’m not shilling, but I’m guessing you’d just see that grace as weakness. I have better things to do than that kind of exchange.
I’m not sure what you mean by “just public servants”. I mean…that’s not true…but, yes, austerity governments tend to salivate when they look at salaries as a line-item, and cut labour…because it’s the biggest and bluntest instrument you can show cuts with. But less people means less services - as well as less citizens making a decent wage means a lower bar for the industry. Just take housing…promises promises on units…but actual cuts to the ministry of housing…and his plan, by all appearance, is to infuse the private sector with tax dollars, offload services to the private sector, and provide bubble protection to its investors: when these government jobs are transferred to the private sector, they will come with wage reductions, reduced labour protections, much less transparency and accountability, less customer service, and more AI & automation. With additional cuts to veterans affairs and the CRA (all seeing the same effect as staff cuts do Canadian labour health)…this budget would be indistinguishable from a conservative budget…if it weren’t for the deep 10-15% cuts (I predict those will expand as they get drunk on how it makes their budgets look), which sets it “above” (below!) conservative budgets.
When I said you were speaking like a liberal it was in response to “tricking” Alberta into increasing the carbon tax. The only time I’ve seen the lead buried that deeply is in LPC press material and from its surrogates. Because, as we’ve seen in conservative projects, the perversely named “Build Canada Act” is an “abundance” act that removes environmental/indigenous consultation and regional sovereignty….all while privatizing the project. Yes, there’s lip service and no concrete plan to share royalties with the indigenous lands they pillage - an excellent way to drive a wedge between the IA councils and hereditary councils. There’s always been a form of taxation on tar sands exports…so describing the deal that they worked out (what amounts to an updated royalties deal - it’s dubious the math will math into an increase for Canada) as “tricking” Alberta is just incorrect. Canada is paying for a gift to Alberta and the private sector, for very little return…is the accurate headline.
Trudeau, for as much of a neoliberal as he was, traded boutique service expansions off with his private-public partnerships. Trudeau wanted to increase the capital gains tax and nationalize a pipeline. Trudeau had pet projects like equity and safe drinking water. Trudeau was still nudging Canada right, at large - but at least it wasn’t a disaster. Describing Carney as moving Canada toward the centre is absurd, considering what he’s actually doing. All of Trudeaus trade-offs and pet projects are gone…and it’s all austerity and cynicism now. If these are our supposed liberals…wait til we see how the party in waiting has to reposition themselves to the right of them: yea, what Pollievre is currently virtue signalling to his Rebel News subscribers is absolutely terrifying…but it’s only possible because Carney made many of his previous election promises come true.
Literally, it’s just public servants.
Oh I see… fuck them then, amiright?
but on the US file he’s doing about as well as anyone could hope for, and hasn’t actually cut much
Ok bud you are dreaming…
He has given trump everything the idiot king wanted (short of the 51st State) and received nothing in return… and yes, he has cut the public service and services in general, deeper than Harper did and back then that was a disaster we have not fully recovered from
“Moved things to the center” is a subjective statement, but everyone can agree he has objectively moved things far to the right of where they had been.
Yes. Trudeau was tickling up against the NDP there, and probably had little problem passing their policies. Carney is a different beast. He’s passionate about the environment and wants the government in on homebuilding, but he’s also a techbro and seems to want trickledown-type policies regarding the rich.
The thing is, PP is so far off to the right there’s still a ton of headroom in between.
“Had little problem passing their policies”? That ridiculous. We had a snap election because he didn’t want to pass their policies…got dragged kicking and screaming into watered down versions…and eventually had his government prematurely removed because he wouldn’t.
Carney is not passionate about the environment. He literally passed a bill that allows the private sector to ignore environmental regulation so they could build a pipeline, and he cancelled most of Trdueau’s environmental policy.
You don’t seem to understand they Carney is occupying the space Pollieve used to occupy, which forced Pierre to have even more extreme policy, and forced the NDP into oblivion because they abandoned their voters and tried to occupy the old Liberal space.
He’s passionate about the environment
LOL OMG… he gutted all environmental portfolio we had, sad and weak as it was anyway
The thing is, PP is so far off to the right there’s still a ton of headroom in between.
This we agree with but I think Canadians deserve better than “slightly less than the worst possible PM”
I got downvoted to hell every time I pointed out he’s a globalist banker. I even had someone condescendly “explain” that he’s a central banker which is somehow better
Well, there is a large difference between running national economies and running actual banks.
…but what you said is an apt criticism because Carney is a Stephen Harper era conservative banker…and his interim job was working in the ultra capitalist banking system. His economic policy, very broadly speaking, is designed to promote the private banking system…rather than increase social health…like a Yanis Veroufakis type economist from the same era.
Sounds like the good people of Brampton should at the very least stage some protests.
Okay Canadian assembly techs: you have an opportunity to do something extremely funny
But you people said you didn’t need anything from us…
djt and maybe his crew said that, not me.
What, Elon’s cyber trucks weren’t good enough for them?
Cybertruk bulletproof stainless steel was proving to have intermittent swiss cheese events. The unpredictability knocked them down on the procurement scores.
That would be the hard part about working in anything geopolitically relevant. Your government will have to do realpolitik, and you can’t reasonably impose your own preferences over top of that and stay relevant, so you end up welding together anti-protester bumpers for the Saudis, or brown guy cages for the Americans. Hopefully all the sales to Ukraine make up for it.
Fuck ICE
ICE going to pay tarrifs for steel and alum, then tarrif again for vehicles.
Except it’s not ICE, it’s taxpayers. And because enough of them are raging racist assholes he now live in a racist state . Fuck fascists
Don’t worry, they’re going to make Mexico pay for it all.
Tired: make mexico pay fir it Wired: make the citizens pay for it through tariffs
A thin silver lining is that Canada’s siphoning some of the hyperinflated budget that is meant for a whole fascist concentration camp regime. Now if only we could get the horn to play “chinga la migra” occasionally when pressed…
chinga la migra
The song in question. Fuck ICE indeed.
there’s more than one song named that
Today I learned. Do you have links to the others?
well it’s a very old and widely used slogan, i’m sure there’s dozens (but maybe only one hit the charts).
this is the first song i thought of, from 2010: https://www.discogs.com/release/26307488-Dirty-Surgeon-Insurgency-Indecipherable-Amount-of-Tentacles
t-shirt examples:
it’s cool there’s a new song for sure, but it didn’t start there.
Eh … now you don’t know what to think huh?
What does this mean?
It’s an old Norm Macdonald punchline from his time at SNL. Op’s joking that buying Canadian is good but ICE buying them is bad
Exactly! I thought of Norm when I wrote it, but forgot about it when I read this question. LOL What an amazing joke that was. 3 punchlines … “you never seen anything like it” LOL.
