Defence minister touts ‘major announcement’ on continental defence

Defence Minister Anita Anand will make a major announcement on continental defence Monday, her office says, as military watchers look for signs of how Ottawa will spend billions of dollars it set aside in the latest budget.

A major component of upgrading the North American Aerospace Defence Command is replacing the soon-to-be obsolete North Warning System, a joint U.S. and Canadian radar system that includes dozens of sites from Yukon to Labrador. Its job is to detect airborne threats: originally long-range bombers. The price has been estimated at more than $11-billion and it’s expected that Canada would have to bear at least 40 per cent.

Ms. Anand’s Monday announcement, to be held at CFB Trenton, will be taking place as Canada prepares to head to NATO meetings this month. Canada has come under pressure from allies, the U.S. in particular, to raise its military spending to the equivalent of 2 per cent of annual economic output. In May, U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan called Canada a freeloader on defence during congressional hearings, “And it’s getting a little tiring,” Mr. Sullivan said.

Hopefully it's her resigning.

Canadians must protect themselves against the Canadian government family law cartel by exposing the horrors perpetrated by these monsters.

It is too late. We've already been invaded.

Soldiers pronouns on their uniforms.

hopefully it's more weapon and deterrence against Russia in Canadas north. Can't have those crazies think they can invade our country too

Spending will only be for investment in NORAD and will have nothing to do with our physical ability to defend ourselves, all part of the Appease the NDP coalition. This comment will age well!!

All submarines will have pride flags.

Chris Selley: Liberals offer terrible ideas on free speech on an unaccountable timelineHeritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez calls the blowback to Bill C\u002D11 \u0027misinformation\u0027, but that\u0027s exactly what his party is disseminating in C\u002D11\u0027s defence The 'elites' are essentially psychopaths who don't care who dies as long as they are comfortable. Destroy their comfort, crush their resistance and make them beg for mercy, or suffer. Mass mobilization, general strikes and direct action. Grow a spine, win a future. The bottom line's this : a national mission of 'Diversity' is not existential enough to hold a society together.Common self interest is.Thus control is necessary to maintain the fabric of a unified ountry.All globalist countries have this problem and know it Every year it’s the same thing just before the house rises for the summer.
