We've restricted sharing Intel with the US on the Caribbean for anything they can use on kinetic strikes.

To be honest, I don't know why it took so long to distance ourselves from whatever the f US is doing in the Caribbean right now. "Shoot first, ask questions later" is not something you want to be associated with. And especially after the double-tap strikes on these boats by the US last fall, the whole operation smells rotten.

And honestly, intelligence sharing of any kind with the US should have been stopped once Tulsi Gabbard was appointed as the Director of National Intelligence - the clearest case of a compromised Russian asset.

Two points.

1) When something is done and when it is publicly disclosed can be and usually are different timelines. Particularly for units actually deployed.

2) Our legal and ethical obligations don't change when deployed or attached to other militaries. So we can still refuse to share information or refuse to act locally if we believe in contravenes our orders and/or ethics. You must definitely won't hear about those cases in the news.

And Canada wonders why sanctions get put against us.

And Canada wonders why sanctions get put against us.

It's called staking out a set of principles and standing by them. Choices have consequences and I am sure the federal machine knows what the impacts of its decisions are (to the extent one can with this mercurial administration).

NDP MP Lori Idlout crossing floor to Liberals, party leader says​

Lori Idlout has represented Nunavut in the House of Commons since 2021​

New Democratic Party MP Lori Idlout is crossing the floor to join the Liberals, NDP Leader Don Davies said Tuesday evening. "We're very disappointed that Lori Idlout has decided to join the Liberal caucus," Davies said. "The position of the New Democrats on floor crossing is longstanding and clear. We believe that when someone rejects the decision of their electors and wants to join another party, they should put that decision to their voters." The move gets Prime Minister Mark Carney closer to a sought-after majority in the House of Commons. It drops the NDP down to just six MPs and brings the Liberals up to 170 seats. CBC News has reached out to Idlout and the Prime Minister's Office for comment. Idlout has represented Nunavut in the House of Commons since 2021.

Much like with Chris D'Entremont and Matt Jeneroux there was an active attempt to get her to cross. First the government gave her riding a bunch of federal funding in the budget. Then in January she declined to cross. A week or two ago, she endorsed Avi Lewis in the NDP leadership race... safe to say, that one is off the table now... LOL.
