Remember when Harper threatened "you won't recognize Canada when I'm done"?

Luckily, Harper was done first.

But if Carney can last a decade, that we really might not recognize our cautious and deferential country after that -- economic corridors created to the world, military strengthened, new alliances with Europe. And he's only been PM for a few weeks.

Carney is moving fast without breaking things.

Neutrality and nationalization should be the path forward. Keep that defence spending working toward Canadian security, not US hegemony.

Create a What If mindset, from How do we minimize risk, think the Pathways Alliance, to what might we discover.

Had the Oilsands COs thought that way 15 years ago, things might be different. They discovered obfuscation socialized risk, privatized profits and liability downloading.

Speaking of cartels and productivity, what have Canada's Telcos innovated?

Family Compacts are US!

I'm pleased that we can finally shut up the naysayers by reaching the 2% of GDP goal. It's one less thing for the whiners to whine about .... although they will find many other reasons, I'm sure.

I should add that reaching 2% was long overdue and required our government to take action and get it done. It's a good thing.
