Ironically, with our reactors, it’s actually easier to make weapons materials than it is to make them go boom. It’s one of the reasons why we never sell them to non-nuclear nations.

That’s honestly what worries me the most. I’m pretty sure any actual conflict will look an awful lot like a civil war, and any student of history knows how incredibly bloody those tend to get.

We don’t have them, we just have all the knowledge, skills, and resources to make one.

We could probably whip one up in a month or so. We have all the technology and manufacturing capabilities required. And if CSIS doesn’t have some blueprints squirreled away somewhere, I’m going to be surprised and disappointed.

I’m definitely curious to see what happens in the polls when we find out who the Liberals choose. I don’t get the impression that people really trust Poilievre to handle Trump.

From the recent polls I’ve been seeing, Trump has apparently reminded a lot of conservative voters that they are Canadian. When asked how we should respond to Trump’s tariffs, “equal retaliation” and “escalation” combined for like 80%.

This whole thing seems to have poked that button we have where we can watch a hockey game, see someone start a fistfight over a perceived slight, and consider that a perfectly reasonable response.

It’s about timing. Voicing the criticism as loudly as they were during the election, is the wrong time. During the general election it’s too late. Candidates and policies are set. All the criticism does at that point is get the fence sitters to stay home. The day after the election is the time to start getting loud. Make them well aware that midterm results depend on them listening. Start working on primaries. Find people running for office that actually do support your ideals more closely and work on getting them nominated.

Long story short, the election is just damage control. To force change, you got to put in the work in between elections.

Personally, I just don’t ask questions I don’t want the answer to.
