We should notice here in Canada, high tech firms are rubbing their hands together, gleefully, at the financial benefits that will be heading their way.

Canada’s tech industry is gearing up for a big boost in defence spending. But the industry is, in many ways, starting from scratch and needs to quickly ramp up expertise among businesses, investors and government owing to the country’s decades of under investment in defence.
Globally, defence tech is one of the fastest-growing sectors, said Daniel Sax, founder and CEO at the Canadian Space Mining Corporation.
“There are tens of billions being deployed into this industry. There are governments around the world getting behind it, and Canada is in the early stages of waking up to that,” Mr. Sax said on the panel, held in Toronto and hosted by the Icebreaker, a defence newsletter.
Mr. Carney has emphasized his desire to prioritize spending on Canadian defence companies, where possible, and diversify away from the country’s reliance on U.S. military goods.
To do this, Mark Maybank, co-founder and managing partner at Maverix Private Equity, said private and public sector investors will likely have to focus on dual-use technologies, which can be used both commercially and for defence.
Used commercially for the technocracy at home- Such as increased border surveillance and more
So, the War from Home- What is it?
Missile Defense, Counter-Unmanned Technology, Electronic Warfare, and Surveillance
Cheap drones are torching billion-dollar fortresses and countries are waging direct warfare from thousands of miles away. Last year, Houthi drones successfully blocked global commerce through the Red Sea despite US carrier strike groups stationed in the region. More recently, Ukraine unleashed a surprise attack of 104 drones 800km deep into Russian territory, lighting up the Kirishi refinery and significantly damaging Moscow’s aerial assault capabilities.
Weeks later, Israel ran the same playbook, using smuggled drones (along with traditional assets) to wreak havoc on Iranian nuclear facilities and military targets as a part of its broader “preemptive strike” on the country. Tehran responded to Israeli air strikes by hurling hundreds of Shahed drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles towards Tel Aviv and interior targets. Israel’s missile defenses have successfully blocked a large majority of the strikes, but at roughly $45,000 per Tamir shot such defenses are not free or unlimited. Iranian ballistic missiles have continued to penetrate the Iron Dome, causing direct damage on civilian and military installments. The U.S.’ involvement began with a USAF crew that never had feet on the ground anywhere outside of Missouri.
Iran, the US and Israel are ostensibly “at war” (or at least in conflict). This is occurring with no troops deployed on foreign soil and each country thousands of miles away from the other.

Well, ‘War from Home’ is an attractive paradigm if you are located safely in North America ( till enemy sleeper cells activate ), but even the western Europeans are feeling uncomfortably close to trouble now.
Defense spending doubled, surveillance authoritarian state strengthened, centralized AI decision making, what could go wrong ?
Is it 1984 yet ?
Oh it’s 1984 for sure!! Tied into the creation of the technocracy I’d mentioned. The one the US and Canada are working on. Together.
Surveillance state, everything digitized.
Resistance and non compliance have to start in earnest. Doesn’t have to be protests- Just has to be the change in our own actions
