I understand your concern regarding the Defence Investment Agency. Canada’s middling “ship” has been blissfully meandering on and off course for decades. Let’s hope the events of last year will get us to set course and proceed all ahead full. I am hopeful.

Spot on about reform fatigue. The Defence Investment Agency, launched by PM Carney in October 2025, aims to cut red tape by centralizing procurement under Public Services and Procurement Canada. Yet its first projects—like submarines and Arctic radar—were only tabled in Parliament by December. Will clearer authorities for DIA actually speed things up, or just add another layer?

We should not be importing anything for our military nothing we should be totally self-sufficient.

Well It was feasible throughout most of the history of our nation basically Up until Brian Mulroney became the Prime Minister.

It would be funny and ironic to see Canada in the EU. The EU needs to break free from its continental constraints and become a true point of reference for the Western world; it would be nice to see Argentina or Australians one day as well.

Today’s EU is terrible, bureaucratic, convoluted, and not very democratic; if it were reformed into something freer and more democratic, it would truly be paradise on earth.

We must pay attention to immigration, the economy, and individual freedoms.
