So i clicked okay, not because i trust them but because they just said that THEY would stop showing me ads... They didnt say that they wouldn't keep farming my data and selling it to other parties.
I didn't read the whole contract, but from the blurb i got thats certainly what it sounded like
As a canadian id be happy if we met the 2% gdp target, as an engineer i see it as public spending to help boost our high tech industries and prevent skilled workers from packing up and leaving.
But the government needs to carve out an agreement as a part of NORAD where canadian companies can sell defence products to the US without being american owned and 51% american operated.. otherwise were just paying money to lose industries and the biggest purchases most of our governments will ever make just go to building industries and jobs in other countries. Imo thats why we currently dont hit the spending target, wheres the economic benefit in an age of economic problems?
As an engineer i hate both, technical sales never have an understanding of their product and are never able to answer any of my questions (because i've read through the datasheet as their words are meaningless to me) but they are mooooorrrreee than happy to schedule an in person meeting to come to my office and show me their product line.
Tell me what i want to know or find me someone who can, im not going to buy 10,000 of whetever if i cant even determine if they will work for my use case.
The last time i had to deal with one of these assholes it took 3 phone calls and 2 emails to get a simple answer which wasnt in their datasheet, which was all of one page long.
My favorite experience with technical sales is we had these component guys come in, they had openned up our product and wanted to show how much better their "equivalent" components were (genuinely a great idea), but they had no context as to what the components were being used for so they all fell flat.
In my experience both are only a waste of my time.
Will only join nato if the country is attacked... Mm yeah okay.. by Austria then?
Wont allow for reexport of its weapons. Sounds like a good reason to stop buying them.
Switzerland is in for some real pain the next few years with a lot of their treatys with the EU expiring, and one side or the other refusing renewal, they might want to consider trying to be likeable at some point. Sure they have a strong economy, but thats only as long as their neighbors continue to tolerate them, if trade barriers and tighter banking rules pop up they might be in for some real hurt in the wallet... The only pain the swiss care about.
Alberta doing something stupid and regressive?

Nah its just statistics. Historically Canadas population has been less than 10% of that of the US, we've almost hit a record of 12% now.
I live in Germany but im from BC so i get hit more often with the "it must snow a lot there!" and i have to explain that it only snows a few days a year and that i'm a cold weather bitch.
Funny story though, i was on a pub crawl in 2018 in London (the real one) and i happen to run into a group of ~20 Canadian soldiers who had also joined it. There was 1 American on this pubcrawl and later in the night he comes up to me in a panic and says "NAME! You're american right!?!" Haha. He had never been the minority before.
