Yes, I hope the NDP are able to kill the existing ones. Generally I like Wab and the NDP, he was my MLA for a great number of years. I just wish our politics broadly wasn’t so focused on cutting taxes. The gas tax “vacation” hurt my soul, we need to be doubling down on transit and active transportation, not encouraging every family go buy a 2nd F150 to take the kids to work.

I’ll firmly vote NDP again, I’ll never let perfect be the enemy of good.

No tax - only cut!

Of all the things to cut tax on, this is probably the best… way better than the gas tax perma-vacation Wab gave us. But I’m not gonna lie, I’d rather we target the rampant supply chain monopolies, retailer monopolies, etc. I mean shit, Safeway has an agreement with the City of Winnipeg to disallow other grocery stores within 1km or something like that. It’s illegal to open competition! Go after that! But no, North Americans can only conceptualize tax cuts.

? The articles HEADLINE says “warheads” and the body says “guided missiles”, and then cites a source saying “guided missiles” and “artillery”. I’m not just disambiguating minutiae, there’s a huge difference between buying a flashbang and a fucking guided missile system.

Misinformation is cool as long as it’s “our guys” making shit up?

We have so many real things to go after the gestapo for, INLCUDING spending $72 mill on guns and shit, but you’re right, we should say they bought tanks and F35s as well. It’ll really get this ball rolling.

I wasn’t even accusing you of doing anything, but hey, attack me personally to make your point. Makes you look really smart and reliable. No wonder your country is fucked.

The only source cited is a blog which cites a blog + raw acquisition numbers from government data, none of which contain ANY reference to “guided missiles” or “artillery” as the original substack claims.

As best I can tell, this claim was just kind of made up, then referenced by a blog, and now by the daily beast. We’re like 3 days out from NYT writing this and referencing this daily beast article.

Fuck this administration for all the illegal and inhuman shit they’re doing, but I’m almost certain this is just made up. They definitely have spent a shitload of money on weapons and equipment (bad) but theres no proof they’ve bought explosives and chemical weapons (beyond pepper spray)
