I guess I learned a fair bit today. Appreciate the info. I hope the person I commented on didn't think I was trolling.

I was being tongue in cheek, but if you think the American DoD has no influence on Canadian research, that's a... thought one can have.

The point of the joke, if you missed it, is that this research has potential the US would be interested in. I'm not funny so clearly it failed, but I promise you there's a meme format for it.

Let us know if they get bought out by the DoD, will ya? If they aren't already involved somehow

Just like my home state of California, being in a big market essentially spills over to markets worldwide due to the big corporations not wanting to have different standards in different areas.

Every good move I see in big markets ensures the whole world will eventually follow.
