Does Justin even know what we spend on National Defense, or have the liberals been so busy with fudging the numbers that they actually don't know any more, I say that because Justin has told President trump that we spend 1.4 % of our GDP on defense, which is a large lie we are not expected to spend that amount until 2024/25, the media is saying it is 1.31 % , CBC access to info is reporting the numbers are around 1.27 %... but here is the rub....Canada really has not added any really funding to DND they just have come up with more creative ways to report much higher numbers...What is happening is we've become better at playing the old shell game...to be honest most of NATO has as well...makes it easier to decided to do this when everyone is doing it, does not mean it is right? , but hey we don't really have any moral values worth speaking of anyways right ? what is not included is other expenditures such as Cadets, and all there wages and training costs, plus infra structure...plus many many more items that have really nothing to do with DND itself, or the defense of this nation, not to mention our NATO commitments.... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/how-natos-defence-spending-benchmark-turned-into-an-international-pr-exercise/ar-BBXGq4l?ocid=spartanntp in 2017 we actually spent 1.34 % in 2018 defense spending has actually gone down to 1.27, so we are not steadily growing our defense budget as the Liberal government promised but we are shrieking, I mean we do have a lot of campaign promises to pay for, plus bribe money to get the other parties to play nice for a minority government at our cost of course...This is nothing new to Canadians , the liberals lying I mean that much we pretty much have grown numb to...But now they are not only lying to us but the rest of the world as well , atleast the whole of NATO...and to trump, which I can not understand why Justin lied because trump's people will figure all these lies out in a couple of days and Justin will once again have to answer to DAD for "what" he was suppose to at the NATO conference...But hey Canadians did elect this guy back in office, knowing full well what we were all getting, and this is what we as Canadians call leadership... It also begs the question why would we sign an agreement to pay 2 % of GDP if we had no intention of every meeting that goal...is it we are afraid to lose our seat at the table...not really we've already told the world we have no intention of meeting that goal, because we contribute in other ways which cost Canada less than actually spending on DND...thats why, it's all part of the shell game... Are we really that gullible or are we just not smart enough to care ? Maybe we don't really lack leadership, but the citizens lack moral character to correct all of this , or maybe it's true its hockey season so f***k off were busy with really world stuff...

Isn't that what the whole point of the Cold War? US and their proxies vs USSR and their proxies. The US works to become the world's only Super Power and then bitches about it because other nations aren't as committed to it. They have Healthcare to pay for.

Trump is a stooge of Putin. Period. His handler is the father of Melania Trump. He is a compromised, corrupted stooge playing Putin's divide and conquer song and dance. If any US President has genuine concerns about NATO and lack of spending the way to express that is back channel through mutual business interests and diplomats. Any idiot knows if you act the baboon in public embarrassing your allies all you do is alienate them not win them over. Bottom line is we need a military and Canada has no excuses. We have next to Russia the largest geographic area in the world to patrol and maintain sovereignty over including the North, Pacific and Atlantic. . On that the Americans have a right to bitch and there is a time and place to do it.

Half of Americans are no longer an ally of Americans according to those same social media comments... America has more of a problem in being divided against itself than it does with Canada... Canada doesn't even register.

He is not sowing discord, he is asking them to live up to deal they agreed to. They are the one's sowing discord, not America.

Red China is a serious military threat simply due to their bottomless soldier supply...but that's more a regional threat.

China's navy is not bigger than the US navy, nor is it anywhere near as powerful. Building shitty ships doesn't turn you into naval power to rival America, that's not how it works. China's navy is nothing to write home about, reports of America's demise have been greatly exaggerated, you need to stop listening to the "America Is Falling" crowd, they don't have the slightest clue what they are talking about.

Exactly, and they got a glass jaw too, they like to dish it out, but they got no humor when it comes to taking what they give. The only people it is acceptable to hate in Canada, are Americans, those dastardly Ugly Americans, picking on the poor little priggish and sneering Canadian snobs. Meanwhile, Canada gets a pass on everything, they should be thankful that they live below the radar. The vast majority of Americans pay no attention to Canada, and there is this American myth of the Friendly Canadian. If they actually knew what Canadians were like, what Canadians actually say about America and Americans, Canada could have a serious problem.

I embrace it, for a Canadian to call me an Ugly American, that's a badge of honor.

All a Canadian citizenship means and having a Canadian passport is that I can enter Canada legally after a holiday, and do not have to answer any questions as to who I am, and where am I coming from, and where am I going in Canada. Canada is not the problem. It is our dear leaders that is the problem. None of them seems to want to tackle or do anything about what the Trudeau's have done to this once great British/European nation, and what the Trudeau of today will be doing to Canada in the next four years. It does not look very good for Canada in the next four more years. I think that conservatives like myself needs to have an American passport as a back up. Just saying. Bloody sad, isn't it?

I've gotten over it. Eventually you just have to write loonie leftist Canada off and move on.

You're happy to make allegations against Clinton based on nothing, but I refer to a real allegation against Trump with citations and you turn into a little girl crying about "innocent until proven guilty"? Hilarious.

Do you ever bother to read the other side of the story yourself? I don't think so!! When Trump found out what Epstein was doing on his island, Trump immediately broke off all contact with Epstein. Get your facts straight, will you. Trump was too busy trying to make his millions in buying up and owning real estate property, and would in no way try to compromise his efforts of trying to become a real estate millionaire tycoon by raping some young girl. Quit with the bull chit. If you have proof that Trump raped a young girl, then show us the proof that you have? Otherwise, dry up about this allegation that no one in the media has brought up as of yet on any news TV network. If Trump had done such a thing, the fake and phony liberal media would already have made a field day out of it. Get real for a change, will you.

Neither Yzer nor Dougie are Americans. They are Canadians that worship the gods of the USA. Let's face it... Canada is under the spell of the Loonie Left... But much of the USA is under the same spell.... or under the spell of it's exact opposite. The Loonie Left is more loonie in many American States and Cities than here in Canada... I'm not happy with the loonieness of the ascendant left... but I don't see USA as offering real solutions to the problem. We'll have to figure our way through this in our own way.

That's not what i said at all. I specifically said you don't need a college degree to be a good politician, but you do need to be knowledge and smart. He clearly isn't book smart at all. You need some book smarts and people smarts and experience to run an entire province competently.

https://www.globalfirepower.com/country-military-strength-detail.asp?country_id=canada We are ranked 21 out of 137 in the power index. Our lack of land strength is what holds us back, which is due to our climate and lack of population.

The Rebulicans witness's only objection is that legal supena's be allowed to work their way through the legal system. That the BEST witness that Republicans can come up with!
