The deal concludes months of tough talks and will allow Ottawa to take part in procurements financed by the EU’s SAFE program.

      I’m not concerned about buying replacement parts. Given everything we’ve seen, Trump’s government twisting nations’ hands into buying US goods, do you think the US MIC won’t be playing for as much of that fund as they can?

      E: This spending would very likely be used to cut on social stability spending so the only way it is conscionable is if it goes towards the development of the MIC of these countries, so the capital is recirculated. Not towards the most overpriced MIC in the world whose political representatives happen to also be threatening our collective territorial integeity and economic stability.

      In my opinion. As a Canadian taxpayer holding an EU passport.
