    It's mortifying to watch Trudeau create 4 new unfunded social programs in an orgy of borrowing/printing DURING record deficits and his burgeoning debt....and then cry poverty to our NATO allies on our NATO commitments. People aren't blind to the kind of fiscal mismanagement and skewed Liberal priorities. Understand this. Nothing stands between Canada and Vladimir except ice and our NATO alliance. Wake up and properly fund and equip the men and women of our armed forces. The American tax payer has been picking up our slack since the first Trudeau came to office in 68'. Americans are generous people, neighbours, allies and partners in NORAD and NATO, but they're not stupid. Both Trudeaus have been reneging on our commitments and it's time to pay our share as despots around the world start eyeing our "3" coasts and resources. STOP voting Liberal/NDP and show some self respect.

    Canada is a proud country. NDP/Liberal have manipulated funds all over the place but did not pay our bills.

      Good one, except our defense spending went from 2.5% to 1.5% of our gdp under conservatives

      Defensive capability is what deters wars, that is why Russia invaded Ukraine, no NATO MEMBERSHIP!

    What young Canadian would want to fight in the Canadian military : we have no unified culture, no shared values or even agree on a standard of living.
    Just a group of wealth property and business owners that want their wealth and stuff protected at the expense of the lower class.
    People in Canada live paycheck to paycheck and live off of credit card debt....is that worth fighting for ?

    Why spend money on defense in a country that isn't worth defending anymore? Signed a Canadian Afghan Vet

    Healthcare Spending is much more important than more Defence Spending, duh.
    USA would not know that, they spend around $900 Billion a YEAR on the Military and have No Public Healthcare like Canada's!

      Perhaps you don’t understand that healthcare spending is a provincial Constitutional jurisdiction while defence is a Federal jurisdiction. So maybe the feds should stay in their lane and do their job.

      Also, why have national Healthcare without a national Healthcare strategy? We are easily in the top ten countries for obesity. If we fixed that our Healthcare costs would shrink 10 to 20% and we could easily meet the NATO commitment

      Since 1968 when Trudeau took a "small" nibble at defense to start to fund healthcare, he did so in full knowledge we are under our only neighbour's generous wing. And as we reneged on our NATO and NORAD commitments, Americans picked up the slack. We also were instrumental in Germany and France doing the same thing to America in the 70s. Pull your Liberal head out of your Liberal @$$ and look at what Germany and France are doing this minute. Two years ago Germany's parliament unanimously DOUBLED the defense budget. France is freaking out, understandably so, and increasing their defense budget so fast you can't keep tabs on specific amounts. "You Liberal humps" have had us freeloading on the American taxpayer, as you brag to "them" how much better our healthcare is than theirs....as they pay the policing bill for the world. It's mortifying and if you're not ashamed of failing to meet NATO spending commitments, you should be. You should also understand there is there is only ice and our NATO alliance between Canada and Vladimir.....you shameless, clueless Liberal twit. Your buried relatives are going to kick your @$$ all the way down through the gauntlet when you reach the afterlife.

      Perhaps you don’t understand that Canada has far better Health outcomes than the USA and let's keep it that way.
