There aren't a lot of companies making this type of advanced tech, and definitely no Canadian ones doing it.
> There aren't a lot of companies making this type of advanced tech, and definitely no Canadian ones doing it.
The number of CEOs that brag their products are designed to kill people, and used to kill people is pretty limited. How about you pick any company that DOESN'T DO THAT ...
Do you feel better that Lockheed Martin's (or pick your favorite defense contractor) CEO isn't open and honest about what their products are designed for? Is it better that they just use terms like "lethality"?
Lockheed Martin's CEO is that their products are for the defense of the US and it's allies. I've been consulting, and I've heard that line a thousand times. It's what all US defense firms say, unless they're "advancing jet technology" .
The exact line varies around the world. "Investing in the certainty of commonwealth" I thought was a pretty nice one.
Nobody sane boasts their products are used to kill, except the well known parties (and if you want to kill large amounts of people with Western weapons, that is incredibly expensive, difficult and will NOT happen by accident. There is 10x the focus in weapon design that these weapons never fire unintentionally than on the firing itself. Russian "multipolar" weapons, on the other hand, are weapons that by comparison are designed for genocide. It goes for every weapon type, but just compare an AK-47 and an M16. They look similar, and look like they serve similar purposes but they don't - at all. M16 requires perfect ammunition that is well maintained and properly stored and transported or it will refuse, safely, to fire. Giving an idiot an M16 and telling him to "deal with the infidels" simply doesn't work - by design. An AK47, by contrast, will fire your sister's dirty socks if need be and will kill with those. Probably the shooter or whoever is next to him but it will kill someone if you pull the trigger. Or if it just gets too hot. See the difference? And this goes for almost all such weapons, including nukes. Pakistan's/Russia's/... nukes are designed to cause a nuclear disaster if they're activated. EVEN if they have to do it on a Pakistani military base. I mean they'll try to fly to India first, but if that fails ... they'll blow. If they don't blow up correctly they'll spread radioactive material. US nukes are designed ... to safely dispose of the fissile material unless they get to the very end of the targeting solution)
This isn't terribly surprising. I'm sure the Canadian military has a great many contracts with US military and intelligence companies. Palantir has been around a long time doing military work. It also doesn't seem to be a terribly large contract as far as these things go.
Still, given Palantir's more recent work with ICE and other work with extremely poor ethics, it would be good to see the Canadian military find alternative sources for whatever intel they get from them.
It's not Intel they get, it's like a data analytics platform they rent that ticks all the regulatory boxes but it's consolidating from data sources they already have.
I'm fairly confident nobody would've cared or even known about Palantir if it was still Biden's term. Like how nobody cares what the western neolib blob buys from Israeli tech companies for instance.
All the loudest anti trump leaders are his friends. Couple days ago there was an nyt report that macron and trump talk on personal numbers extending the last syllable of first name. Emmanuelllll Donalllllld
It's only us general public that suffers while we console ourselves that maybe they are cheating him just go sleep peacefully

In fact, can we make that a law please?

Why can't they spend the tax money they collected on secret contracts or however they are fit? It's their money!
Yuck.
