I am very pro space, and I do hope Canada one day has their own self sufficient space program. But this article has some faulty points. Aside from things like neglecting to mention access to US spaceports and existing launch infrastructure (instead appearing to favor europe’s) it actively talks about how Canada’s geography is an *advantage*, as if somehow there is a shortage of high inclination launch sites in the west.

Seems to be related to this:

Which also mentions that a chunk of that money is going into funding AI, for vague reasons.
Canada is a joke and will never go to space
