blackbird Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Now this is a surprise coming from an NDP Premier. The NDP are normally leftists and pacifists. But he is absolutely correct. If we want to be taken seriously in the world and accepted as a trustworthy partner by our allies, particularly the U.S., we need to step up and keep to our NATO commitment of at least 2% of GDP spending for the Canadian Forces. The Manitoba Premier should be commended for his stand on NATO.

As much as I don't particularly like the guy the fact is there are politicians who do listen to their people even if their people's wishes aren't precisely what they might agree with. And yes he's correct. I'm really surprised NATO isn't putting even more pressure on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gets thrown out the water when Trump gets the nod. He will demand it and call us out for coming up short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUI_Offender Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 (edited) I must admit, Wab Kinew is an example of how people can change. It only seems like yesterday when he was a woman-beating drunk driver, who tried to be a gangster rapper. Wab is a hero to anyone who has ever been convicted of DUI. Aside from that, it has been proven that Wab could drive drunk much better than his inter-provincial nemesis, Scott Moe. At least Wab never killed anyone.

Too many left wing whackos happy to stand in the shadow of our neighbor and their defence influence, yet look down their brown noses when it comes to homeland defence.

We have sat back and watched as government after government passed on defense to give Canadians' social programs that help the few and punish the rest with higher bills and taxes..We as a nation built this sh!t sandwich ...we can complain and whine all day and night...but until we are willing to stand up and make it a priority NOTHING is going to happen or change... And for the conservatives out there , PP is not going to making sweeping changes, and dump massive amounts of funding into DND into reaching 2 % don't get me wrong it happens in my dreams but this is reality.........yes he has said he is going to make some cuts here and there and put that into DND ...but incased you missed it to get to 2 % , we need well over 30 bil in extra spending every year....How many social programs are we willing to cut to get those numbers...my bet is zero...because we are like that....The only way we would spend that kind of funding if NATO threatened to kick us out of the club....and even then we would him and haw..... Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

herbie Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 If the Dork Trump becomes Predident, he will seek retribution by punishing Canada with Trade penalties. Even though Canada-US trade and NATO are two entirely different issues, the miserable c*nt will convince his ignorant followers they aren't. So we better have a good obedient Tory that will bow to His Massah's Orders. Don't wanna p1ss them off or suggest election influencing from them, do we? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbie Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 A party of rednecks, cultists, Gomers and Goobers calling someone else a "farm team"? That's hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be if it were true outside of your fever and imaginations and deluded ramblings. Trudeau was definitely the farm league. And definitely nouveau riche. The results show appropriately. However knows his stuff. He's done this for a lifetime and as a career and trained under one of the greats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
