  1. So US’ closest allies are seeing US origin systems as a security risk now..
    We really do live in interesting times

  3. Canada should be sourcing their military hardware from France.

  4. I am deeply concerned that all the F35’s might have some US made kill switch.

  5. One can only hope that Australia cuts its losses and dumps the AUKUS submarine scam agreement. What mugs we are!

  7. As if Canada’s warships would last more than a few hours against the US anyways lol…

    Signed, a Canadian

  8. This is just going just like Twitter’s implosion over advertising only it’s a nation instead of a company.

    It is going to come to ‘We alienated all of our allies now why won’t they buy our things and funnel money our way, why are we poor?? lets sue them for exercising their freedom of choice to buy elsewhere’

    And it’s the same idiot in charge, what a coincidence.

  9. What a difference one election can make. Thanks Putin. 

  12. We are seeing the true colours of America. They can’t be trusted

  13. good opportunity to buddy up to their old commonwealth palls and buy some ships from the UK and maybe the EU.

  14. He’s right. Remember that President
    Musk disabled Ukraine communications for a major attack on Russia. Any sane country should treat US military tech the same they’d do as Huawei products.

  15. Not fear Canada!

    You should just not start the war as Ukraine and its dictator!

  16. Canadian here. I agree with Vice-Admiral Norman. It’s hard to believe a couple of months ago we were worried about Chinese infiltration on TikTok. Strange times indeed.

  17. Run those ships on Blackberry QNX. Canadian software>anything from the USA

  18. A lot of critical US military equipment is made by EU companies. They all have offices and manufacturing in the US. If this keeps up they could decide to close their US Operations and the US would be screwed

  19. The good news is we can still make the switch for 12/15 ships. I think it’s a no-brainer now

  20. AND they can fuck off with the sweet Canadian water too

  21. US armaments cannot be trusted. We should divest of as many as possible and try to verify the integrity of the rest. The us is a hostile fascist country now. I wish it werent so but we must accept reality and prepare for the worst. If its comes down to it the us military will side with trump make no mistake

  23. Gotta assume all US sourced hardware has a rootkit to enable remote disablement or destruction.

  24. A more diversified defense industry is a stronger and more robust way to go anyway. Previously, if something bricked US equipment half the world is down. If everyone is doing their own thing, there are options

  25. I really hope this country has a failsafe for this shit going on.

  27. Imho Canada simply needs few submarines with nuclear sblms and the deterrence is done against the whole U.S

  28. Saw an article stating that 27% of Canadians now the the US as an enemy. That number is only going to grow as time goes on.

    Way to absolutely destroy all of your global relationships Trump and his cultists. It definitely won’t bite you in the ass in the end.

    I used to look for groceries that were from in North America. I now exclusive buy NOT American products.

  29. Don’t blame them, US is now run by an elderly fascist Criminal. Definitely can’t be trusted.

  30. Need to start moving things north gorilla warfare. All these ships would be gone day one. Small caches of materials all over the north and rockies. We could never stand against them directly. Our systems are too intertwined.
    Canada is a big country, and we look like Americans population wise. They could not pick a Canadian vs. an American on the street. We would just have to make it not worth it to hold the whole country.

  31. I mean… yeah, same thing with F35s, they 100% have kill switches plus GPS is US made and ran, good luck with that

  32. All banking is microsoft and other big american tech companies. We all need overhaul of our systems. Might be abit painful for a few years, but it will be worth it. All federal level system should be run/managed by national companies and not foreigners….. too risky. 

  34. I wonder if the US has the same feelings about their made in Canada weaponry.

  35. I mean, if you truly want to decouple from the US, you need to get your own GNSS system to replace your complete and utter societal reliance on the timing signal from the GPS constellation.
