Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Wednesday that his government would not purchase early-warning-radar planes from the United States, opting instead for a European model.

Canada will purchase Swedish Saab’s GlobalEye, which is based on the Canadian-manufactured Bombardier Global 6500 jet.

Tensions between the US and Canada have been high since Donald Trump launched a trade war against the US’ northern neighbor and even suggested that Canada should become the 51st US state, which caused widespread outrage in Canada, just as Carney was seeking the post of prime minister and succeeded in getting elected to it.

Since then, the Canadian government has also opted ot review the planned purchase of US F-35 fighter jets to explore other options.

    Personally, I disagree. The rest of the right wingers only care to remain in power and fill the pockets of them and their friends. Anything social doesn’t really matter to them, and since SD is the linchpin to their power, they’ll gladly implement Nazi politics because it doesn’t matter in either direction to them.

    An enabler is also culpable, even if they don’t actively push for the abuse. Table of Nazis, kind of thing.
