    Given that JT just pulled 910 million in defence funding effective 01 Apr 2024..... I’m gonna assume no, Canada will not meet nato defence spending expectations.

    My years of witnessing the neglect of our military by both traditional governing parties… 1967-96. Equipment not replaced in a timely fashion. Constantly cutting of DND budgets & numbers of personnel. A broken procurement system ignored by both, for generations. Who does Canada trade with? Europe (NATO) & (NORAD) America. Why do both political parties feel allies & alliances can be ignored? How is it that the Canadian voting public has never made the status of our military a voting priority since the end of WW2?

    Sweden on Thursday formally joined NATO as the 32nd member of the transatlantic military alliance
    Trudeau and Trump had a strained personal relationship. Trump once said Trudeau was “two-faced,” describing the prime minister as “very dishonest and weak.”
    Justin Trudeau acknowledged that Canada’s military is woefully short on supplies, but blamed the situation on our contributions to Ukraine.
    "Why are we still fighting certain veterans groups in court? Because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now,"
    Justin 🇨🇦
    Trump called him out 2 %
    half of the military's equipment is considered "unavailable and unserviceable" - says a recent internal Department of National Defence (DND)

      You can vote whichever way you want but to get to 2% without weakening the dollar with deficit spending it means raising taxes an average of $1000/per year per working person.
      Most likely $1300/per year on the middle class.

    Canada should spend whatever it is spending on defence now, and the rest it must spend on R&D to develop cutting-edge technology to safeguard its Arctic and North from incursions. That means RADARS identifies and tracks all kinds of aerial threats, including hypersonic aerial vehicles and stealth aircraft, software algorithms and anti-air threat-neutralizing multi-layered defence equipment, missiles, and electromagnetic pulse generators to confuse guidance systems of adversary air assets. Canada has a high-tech industry infrastructure and should use that intellectual capital to help keep the world free.

      And Ukraine been given about $12 Bn in total in past 2 yrs largely through loans and grants .. thats about $ 8 Bn in financial aid , 4 Billion per year,Canadas federal budget being about or at least $400 Billlion /year. and Ukraine btw a Nato partner and there being the Nato-Ukraine Council
