How do you give weapons to an army sans one battalion? It's not like the US and Canada are the ones divvying out materiel on the ground

Canadian military should turn to private sector for space surveillance tech, MPs told ( www.cbc.ca )

The Canadian military could have modern satellite coverage in the Arctic a decade earlier than envisioned if the federal government is willing to follow the example of other countries and embrace commercial options in space, a House of Commons committee heard Monday....

Yes! More surveillance! More secret radio chatter! Rip up the Outer Space Treaty! Let the superpowers play chicken with orbital nuclear bombardment! A lazy dog over every child's head!

So much wrong with this article...

First Nations of the Pays d'en Haute weren't "Jesuit controlled". They had had asserted their independence in Pontiac's War, which they initiated on their own judgement, and during which they received no Canadien support despite First Nation appeals. Serious historians haven't considered this Indigenous warfare a French conspiracy for many many decades.

"The caging of the colonies onto the Pacific [Atlantic] Coast" by the establishment of the Indian Reserve was done in the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and it's ratification as the Treaty of Fort Niagara to end Pontiac's War, not with the Quebec Act a decade later. The continued restriction on settlement after the Quebec Act was introduced was an attempt to maintain this peace, not to subvert the Continental Congress which didn't even exist yet.

Though I guess this is to be expected. If the author admitted not only that Indigenous peoples of the Ohio Country opposed settlement but they were independent nations who did so on their own volition, then the author wouldn't be able to pretend that manifest destiny was some anti-racist position that only brought colonial genocide due to subversion from crypto-monarchists.

The author also blames Franklin's failure to rally Montrealers soley on a lack of time due to military setbacks. They totally ignore how the Continental Army inserting itself as a fur trade middleman, refused to work in bullion, and failed to commitment to long-term Canadien religious freedom made most people in the city hate then.

Oh and the traitors in league with the City of London and the Reign on Terror being the fault of British foreign policy are just bizarre and conspiratorial.

tl;dr the author needs to read something other than conspiracy theories and George Bush's childhood American history textbook
