    It doesn’t need one though and the benefits of having one are massively outweighed by the security vulnerabilities to US operators themselves. Super high tech airplanes like these need constant maintenance and a steady stream of parts. That’s where the real “kill switch” is. If the US wants to use them as leverage, they can turn off the tap for those and the Canadian owned hardware will be inoperable in a few weeks.

      Many citizens are cracked but some of us are just people like any other country’s citizens. Don’t paint with such a broad brush, it’s intellectually dishonest.

          Why deny a persons critique based solely on their nationality?

          Also why do you think we need to fix our country before discussing honesty with someone online?

          To me it reads as racist.

              Our leader think y’all suck because he’s a baby who cries when he doesn’t get what he wants. You know this as well as I do. Sorry I critiqued your lash out, maybe you just wanted to be irrational in a safe space. Be safe out there though, most folks are only bigoted when all party’s involved know they are joking or something.

                Your dear leader and his buddies and a good ~70% of your country would gleefully cheer on a military annexation of our country. Your government even has a plan to do exactly this. It’s not just dear leader, it’s your entire government.

                It’s not bigotry to call a spade a spade but I guess when the spade is convinced that it’s really an excavator, hearing the word spade might be confused for bigotry.

                Thank you for your concern for my personal physical safety! Stay safe if you ever leave the states for vacation or something too! I’m abroad right now and some drunk Americans got all up into a table full of Canadians faces chanting “51st! 51st!”.

                Things got real ugly for them real quick.

                  Your stats are bad. An anecdote about Americans is mid proof of me being like that. You got a fox news level worldview over here homie.

                  Edit: and the admins agree you are breaking rules lmao

          What would you have us do? The election was rigged, and the rule of law has been completely dismantled. Citizens who disagree are being disappeared by ICE. We’re all broke, and decades of union-busting means we have no power in the workplace. People are protesting despite it all. Loudly. Our media just isn’t covering it.

          And need I remind you, until trump started waving his dick around, you very nearly had your own maple-flavored fascism. And may yet. Except you already gave up your right to bear arms, so you can’t even fight back when it happens.
