Not wanting to sign up for an account to read the article, but since this is for their military, it wouldn't surprise me if it's for their PRISMA and/or Gotham systems. There aren't a lot of companies making this type of advanced tech, and definitely no Canadian ones doing it.

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.

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