She now transport minister?
Canada Transport Minister Freeland ‘dismayed’ by BC Ferries deal with Chinese company
Canada’s transport minister says she is “dismayed” BC Ferries contracted a Chinese state-owned shipyard to build four new vessels in the current geopolitical context that includes “unjustified” tariffs on Canada.

Chrystia Freeland, in a letter to her B.C. counterpart Mike Farnworth, said she expects BC Ferries to inform her of all measures it plans to take to “mitigate any security risks,” including cybersecurity problems that might arise.
BC Ferries, in a statement, said the Chinese bid was the strongest by a “significant margin” and that security was a top priority and added all sensitive systems would be sourced separately and independently certified before the vessels enter service.

Farnworth’s comments echo those of B.C. Premier David Eby, who has promised to work with Ottawa to build up capacities in B.C. for future vessels.

I view it as Israel is dragging a reluctant US to do ground invasion, by provoking Iran to go over the nuclear threshold (or very least, exaggerating the threat), and hoping the superpower does the dirty work for Israel. The funny thing is, even if US doesn't do a ground invasion, it's going to keep a ton of assets around ME, which sucks resources away from Pacific. Oh, the woes of an overstretched empire.

And all these strikes are meaningless without a ground invasion, one cannot just hope Iran collapses from embarrassment or wishful thinking or a magically coup.
It's the boy who cried wolf problem, Israel exaggerated it so much, if Iran actually builds one now nobody will believe Israel, including the US.

Then there's the fact that Medvedev just said today "countries", plural, are considering giving Iran nukes. He's a troll but he's also the chairman of Russia's security council, so take it as you will.

For now we just saw Israel got bombed this morning and US proceeded to warn Iran against attacking US targets, i.e. didn't care that Israel got bombed, that's exactly where Iran need this to be TBH, a protracted war with Israel where US stays out
