On the 23rd. the NDAA vote passed by 216 votes to 212, so it's pretty much a done deal. Hope all allies doing business with the US, especially sharing of intel, take measures to restrict, or modify those interactions. The US is less of an ally now than ever before. 1/2 youtube.com/shorts/jEJPm...

At the heart of all of this is a sense amongst Americans that Canadians who defend their country on routine nationalist grounds are, in some profound but inexplicable sense, being silly. And that sense is a thoroughly bipartisan temperament, as common amongst the most progressive Democrats as it is amongst diehard MAGA Republicans, the only difference being that the Democrats expect to be thanked for their sympathy while washing their hands of any responsibility for what is coming out of D.C.

That “all other countries are a joke” narcissism has always been a part of the American psyche, but it has now reached such a state of pathology that it is not clear any of them can see how the rest of the world sees America right now: a country that starts a fight and then sues you for hitting back; that threatens to annex you, and then sends a letter asking why you’re being so cold. Meanwhile, VQA sales at the LCBO are up 44 per cent on the year, and Canadians are discovering they quite like their own wine.

Look again at the Persian Gulf. Given how thoroughly Iran has outplayed Trump at every turn over the last couple of months, what U.S. ally can take for granted that America would do any better if facing a much more militarily powerful opponent, such as Russia or China? The desperation among American officials to get to some kind of ceasefire with Iran — and good Lord, it was desperate — is a very clear signal to U.S. allies across the world that America’s pain tolerance has probably never been lower. And its willingness, bordering on eagerness, to override the strategic interests and wishes of its allies to get itself out of any military confrontation is something that every enemy of America, and we hope every ally of America, has noticed.

Iran is lighting up the Strait of Hormuz and hitting U.S. bases and allies throughout the region, and Trump is fuming about Greenland while his secretary of defense continues to be upset when he sees sailors with beards.

These are not serious people. But these are very serious times, and the sooner we all figure out that the absolute best-case scenario for any U.S. ally is that America would come to its defence symbolically and inconsistently, if it showed up at all, the better off those allies may be.

No doubt the erratic behaviour of the US contributed to decisions made re: Canada's future defence procurements. This integration proposal reinforces those decisions. Sanders Says 'We Must' Strip Section on US-Israeli Military Integration From Pentagon Budget www.commondreams.org/news/sanders...

Responding to the proposed Sections 219 and 622, Robert McCaw, director of government affairs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations, recently said in a statement that “Congress must act to block these Israel‑first bills that would force a deeper US and Israel military and intelligence merger, a merger that will weaken independent American oversight, compromise US national interests, and pull the country into foreign conflicts without democratic consent.”

“The American people did not elect Congress to merge our military infrastructure, intelligence systems, defense technologies, artificial intelligence capabilities, cyber operations, and regional security architecture with a foreign government accused of genocide, apartheid, war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, torture, starvation policies, and the unlawful targeting of civilians,” he continued.

“Instead of demanding accountability... Congress is seeking to reward the Israeli government with even deeper access to American military capabilities, technologies, intelligence resources, and strategic infrastructure,” McCaw added. “The American people deserve a foreign policy that serves American interests and American values, not legislation that places the priorities of a foreign government above American sovereignty, accountability, and self-government.”

Hosted by the Commander of the US Pacific Fleet, the war games include Israel, a rogue state currently committing genocide in Gaza, invading Lebanon, and illegally attacked Iran.

The Liberal government has dispatched two Canadian frigates, HMCS Ottawa and HMCS Regina, the sole functioning Canadian submarine – HMCS Corner Brook, the supply ship Asterix, a CP-140 Aurora patrol aircraft, two Cyclone maritime helicopters and 800 military personnel to participate in the war games organized by an ever more aggressive United States.

“Canada Expands Indo-Pacific Presence with Major Contribution and Leadership Role at RIMPAC 2026,” boasted the Canadian Defence Review (CDR) in the runup to the war exercises.

This at a time when most Canadians see the US as the main threat to global peace.

US dominance in the war games comes from its massive military presence in the Pacific. A small portion is deployed at RIMPAC, including the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, a guided-missile cruiser – USS Chosin, four US destroyers, and two submarines including the USS Charlotte.

During the Israeli/US illegal war on Iran, the Charlotte gained notoriety when it torpedoed and sank an Iranian frigate, IRIS Dena off the coast of Sri Lanka. The IRIS Dena, reportedly unarmed at the time, had been participating in joint naval exercises hosted by India at the time. Over 100 of its crew perished in the unprovoked attack.

Data Sovereignty and Jurisdictional Control

Storing data in Canada is not the same as having Canadian sovereignty over that data. As the Government of Canada's own white paper on the subject states, as long as a cloud or infrastructure provider operating in Canada is subject to the laws of a foreign country, Canada cannot claim full sovereignty over the data held there.

This is the CLOUD Act problem in plain language. The U.S. Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act empowers American authorities to compel U.S.-incorporated companies to provide access to data they control, regardless of where that data is physically stored.

When a senior Microsoft executive was asked under oath before the French Senate in June 2025 whether he could guarantee that data stored in French infrastructure would not be transmitted to American authorities, the answer was no. The same legal reality applies to Canadian data held on U.S.-owned infrastructure.

For Canadian enterprises in financial services, healthcare, and government, this is not a theoretical risk. It is a procurement constraint that is becoming harder to route around as regulatory expectations tighten.
