A couple of days ago a certain Amerikan President as well as convicted felon, sexual assaulter, serial bankrupt and lying sack of shit, named Donny decided to hold a presser. He was touting plans for a big beautiful Air Defense dome over Amerika to prevent anyone from messin with the joint. Fair enough, he even committed $175 Billion to build whatever the hell it is going to be. Felon 47 has said it will be like Israel’s Iron Dome Air Defence, but bigger and more beautiful as part of his money laundering scheme, know as his One Big Beautiful Bill Budget. Oh and Canada wants to be a part of it.
We will explain. Canada has been part of the North American Air Defense plan since the very beginnings of the Cold War. The DEW line, was a line of radar stations across our north, looking as far over the curvature of the Earth as possible for the incoming nuclear bombers of the Godless Soviets. With that Early Warning, we, meaning Amerika, could shoot them down before they bombed Amerika back to the stone age. DEW was the third iteration of some kind of early detection, the previous being Pinetree and Mid-Canada Lines. DEW was far, far North, generally up around 69th parallel. Construction started in 1954 and they went like hell planting the technology, DEW going operational on April 15, 1957. That was about 2 years and 8 months from “Da Fuck??” to “Here’s the keys to 60-some joints” It was a massive undertaking on both sides of border.
It has evolved over the years as technology has evolved. Now, Felon 47 wants to re-invent the wheel in 2025, but this time to look as butch and manly as Bebe Netanyahu in Israel. Nothing has been negotiated, talked about, or even analyzed by grown ups. It is just the Adderall twitches in Felon 47’s brain of some kind of shiny thing to distract everyone from his pitiful failures with Ukraine and negotiations/surrender with China on trade. Felon 47 hasn’t even asked if we want a piece of his hallucination.
Guesstimates on cost are up around 40 TRILLION dollars. The Israeli Iron Dome covers an area about the size of New Jersey and still costs a metric shit ton of money to build, service and run 24/7 in the high-threat environment of Israel. Across the whole top of North America? Shit ton times near-infinity is the likely total. Just another shiny thing that caught his limited attention span.
Golden Dome is an expected distraction from Diaper Don gong to battle with Harvard University. There are unconfirmed rumours that his invisible son Barron applied to Harvard and was told to go look for a a trade school, or a beauty school to take cosmetology and Felon 47 was deeply offended, to the point of revoking Harvard’s Foreign Student permissions and going after any grants or subsidies from the Feds, ostensibly because of their DEI postures. Harvard’s response? “See ya in court asshole!”
This also tries to cover the $12 Billion drop on tourism to the US as the rest of the world opts to go anywhere else. BTW, they’re coming here, to Canada with their money and the US is sucking air. For that, we’re sorry/not sorry in our typical Canadian Way.
