🇨🇦 Canada suddenly needs submarines yesterday, after years of liberal sleepwalking

Rear Admiral David Patchell says he needed new subs yesterday. No kidding. After a decade of Trudeau-era theatre, Ottawa is now treating basic sovereignty like an impulse buy, with Mark Carney preparing to pick between South Korea’s Hanwha and Germany’s TKMS for 12 submarines while foreign executives parade into Victoria and pitch Ottawa on how to defend our own waters, as reported. The Korean boat sailed 14,000 kilometres just to prove Canada can no longer build seriousness at home.

This is the real globalist model: hollow out domestic industry, neglect procurement for years, then call it visionary when overseas firms offer side deals to soften the humiliation. Hanwha waves around up to $345 million for Algoma and promises armoured vehicles, because Ottawa only remembers national interest when bribed with offsets. Canada has Arctic claims, Pacific exposure, and Atlantic obligations, yet our ruling class spent years chasing DEI press releases and climate vanity projects instead of hard power. Now they want applause for finally noticing geography.
