      Cybertruk bulletproof stainless steel was proving to have intermittent swiss cheese events. The unpredictability knocked them down on the procurement scores.

      It’s an old Norm Macdonald punchline from his time at SNL. Op’s joking that buying Canadian is good but ICE buying them is bad

        Exactly! I thought of Norm when I wrote it, but forgot about it when I read this question. LOL What an amazing joke that was. 3 punchlines … “you never seen anything like it” LOL.

    Oh no, how unexpected. Who would think that the interests of capital and imperialism would take precedent over the wellbeing of the people in Canada?

          Well, these are going to ICE. It’s not like the U.S. couldn’t get them elsewhere. And of course, now Canada knows the weakness of the units!

        I mean, if it’s jobs alone that is a consequence of this deal, I can guarantee you that those jobs are still maintained at exploitational wages. Since it is silly to only think about that, there is also the reality that Canada is subordinated to the US already and its fascist regime has made real threats of violence to Canada. On top of that, Canadians have been detained without cause by this same regime which has taken up disappearing dissidents as an official practice. ICE patrols the 100-mile border zone that Canadians cross every day for work and kinship.

        Canon fodder indeed, chuds love having dudes like you around to fight for them.

            This is the Canadian nationalist shit you see when someone has been protected their whole life. You know Americans know more about fighting the US than Canadians do, right? Borders are also, y’know, imaginary, and people formed connections across borders for generations despite you feeling yucky about the US now. How 'bout you offer to pay for the salaries of every Canadian who crosses the border for work or relocation costs for any families who live across border regions?

                  People in the U.S. are responsible for their government. They should be shutting the country down with strikes and riots until the fascist morons in charge are hanging by their own entrails.

              Nah, that was their choice to work in a foreign country, which only helps them and not their fellow country folk.

              Just like the ones that went to work stateside when the US dollar was high in late 90s and early 2000s. Then when the dollar went down to par they all cried, “Oh poor me I’m losing my income and having to commute a lot and use too much gas”

              There are consequences to actions.

                Genuinely, go fuck yourself. Like you know a fucking thing about helping your ‘country folk’ when you’d literally let them get arrested for living in a place where cross-border work is normal. I’d rather be in a place where workers have solidarity with each other than where there’s some pompous and hollow notion of nationality.

                Chud.

    A thin silver lining is that Canada’s siphoning some of the hyperinflated budget that is meant for a whole fascist concentration camp regime. Now if only we could get the horn to play “chinga la migra” occasionally when pressed…

    When I say I want zero trade with the US it includes ICE.

    Though if these were subject to a safety recall I wouldn’t complain.

    It’s a really small company. They can’t produce that many in 30 days unless they have a few sitting around already.

    Sounds like the good people of Brampton should at the very least stage some protests.

    Last time I did research for my blog, there were three armoured vehicle manufacturers in the Toronto area, and highly respected by the world community. That information only surprised people living in Canada.
