“Drones cost a tiny fraction of advanced weapons like fighter jets.
“If one gets blown up you can take another one off the shelf and keep sending them against the Russians,” said Stukalov. “That is what the future battlefield is becoming.”
Yet Canada is committed to spending billions on F35s. When one goes down, there isn’t another one. Despite 30+years nurturing Canadian military aircraft, or maybe because of it, I ask: if the future is drones, why spend money on the past? If we spent billions on drones, what could we NOT do?
I submitted photos online of our passport pages as ID when applying to the Registry of International Voters. Of course, a passport does not have one’s address.
I suspect being on the registered voters list in the riding (despite it was significantly redrawn in 2022) for a decade might have helped to corroborate our bona fides.
In Mexico, I had to apply to be added to the Register of International Electors, which i did on 24 March. My wife received her ballot kit on 4 April. Mine had to be resent by Elections Canada due to my Canadian postal code being entered as my address abroad. Nevertheless, i received my ballot kit on 11 or 12 April. On 14 April, in cooperation with another Canadian couple, we put all four of the envelopes in a DHL envelope and sent it back. Three days later I was notified by EC that they were received. So our mail-in ballots reached our respective electoral districts in good time to be counted.
Just a good news story!
FYI: The DHL envelope and the outermost EC envelope had both been opened, presumably by Mexican Customs officials.
