Canada

Not palantir. He's everywhere 🫩

It's always a grift with these types. Only an ideologue that would stand against private international capital and really invest domestically would do the thing for real. Sovereign defence means creating the specialists across the stack from R&D through engineering and manufacturing, in Canada. Then creating the local industry that makes the things we need to make. Only then we'll get the meaningful decoupling Canadians seem to want, along with any military keynesianism benefits for this spending. But that'll take years to decades of consistent public industrial policy to achieve. Otherwise we're just padding the pockets of American capital. Barring that, buying from RTX and Palantir's Canadian subs is just business as usual with sovereign marketing, in the hope people don't perceive the gov't as not standing up for Canada while betting we won't have to use those weapons as a deterrent against the US. In other words, elbows up marketing, while waiting for the US to "get back to normal."

I'm absolutely not defending military industrial complex spending but do people understand the aerospace industry? The canadian owned companies are using PWC engines. Bombardier and De Havilland both use them (the two companies that come to mind when I think of canadian ownership). Magellan makes engine parts...does that count?

So america has all our data since the parent company has to abide by American data requests no matter where the host is or what their countries laws are. As Microsoft has already stated. But every country seems to be ignoring that and still going with American companies.

Pratt & Whitney is genuinely and substantially Canadian in every way except ultimate ownership. PW does its own research, development, marketing, and manufacturing of its engines. They aren’t taking American designs and building them on Canadian soil, own owns its own product lines outright.

The PT6 turboprop is a workhorse engine and wholly Canadian. The Longueuil facility employs 4500 workers, it’s deeply woven into Quebec’s history. They recently invested $275 million into facility and have long supported Canadian aviation.

It’s shocking how many of the leftists that hate fake news and sensationalism are falling for it readily when they want their own narrative to be true. This is not news, it’s not a grift, it’s not a lie, it’s not a conspiracy. It is fake news and bullshit to push an Anti-Canadian agenda.
