National Defence Minister Anita Anand insists Canada is ready to handle evolving global threats, after missile explosions in Poland prompted concerns about Russia's war in Ukraine spilling into a NATO country, a tense interaction between the prime minister and China's president was caught on video, North Korea tested a ballistic missile, and a new report from Canada's auditor general states there's a lack of preparedness to properly survey the Arctic, this week.

National Defence Minister Anita Anand insists Canada is ready to handle evolving global threats, after missile explosions in Poland prompted concerns about Russia’s war in Ukraine spilling into a NATO country, a tense interaction between the prime minister and China’s president was caught on video, North Korea tested a ballistic missile, and a new report from Canada’s auditor general states there’s a lack of preparedness to properly survey the Arctic, this week.

“We need to be able to contribute to our multilateral alliances to NATO and to bilateral support for Ukraine, at the same time as ensuring that we have a presence in supporting peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific, and that's exactly what we're doing,” she said.This all comes as the world’s largest gathering of defence leaders from democracies are meeting in Halifax this weekend.

“I, of course, was very concerned, and I remain concerned, as I have been since February 24, when Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded a sovereign democratic country,” Anand said. “We will continue to stand with Ukraine in the short and the long term and that's why Canada has offered its support in the investigation of those two missiles that hit Poland.”

“We are ready and we will continue to be even more prepared as we undertake this new Indo-Pacific Strategy,” Anand said.

Said the lady trying to sink British Canada

And everyone in Canada laughed.

Send in Cristina Freelands red dress. No one will want to go near it

What about Diagolon? They have a time travelling goat. How can you defend against that? Can we at least get boosters every 45 days? 90 days is just too long. Please, we need boosters.....

Ottawa Citizen › national Canadian Forces top-heavy with generals as rank and file shrinks

AnitaAnandMP, JustinTrudeau, CPC_HQ, NDP It's time Canada had mandatory military service. At 18 you do 1 year basic training, then 3 years in one of the 3 main branches. After the 4 years you can stay or leave with the start of a pension and go to school or work.

Her and her government are the threat

Does anyone believe the lies spewing from the mouths of these people anymore?

She needs a reality check. How about exposing our weakness with some actual journalism.

defundCTV

Soldiers now have purple hair and earlobe hoops. All ready to go.

What else is she going to say?

More liberal lies.

Q: What is Canada's role? Anand: Canada's role is to continue to be unified with NATO....

Liberals are the threat

She don't know nothing about defense...! Liberals....🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Us and what army? We could likely be taken out my Mexico's armed forces...

Ha military brass can’t even control itself

She’s lying and you’re spread the lies

She's sending three Sopwith Camels and a dozen Ross rifles north.

The threats are not military, they are the ones these clowns keep failing at.... anyone remember a certain pandemic that locked down and divided people? Anyone notice prices going up? Record breaking climactic weather events? Even near misses by asteroids!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, as they say, one of the worlds most prolific Human Rights Violators, that being the Chinese Government have set up several police stations across Canada. 🤨

Sure. Ya. Um. Ok. I bet Rogers put you up to that statement. 😏🚬

How would you know, you couldn’t even handle a protest without using the emergency act! You are definitely NOT prepared!

Like she would know. She doesn't even know how to run a defense on anything. Thank god we are not getting invaded. 🤦‍♂️

Make sure you come back and laugh at her in Mandarin next yeah when China takes over.

Prepared for what? Ministers Colluded to create misinfo about protesters to strip their rights. StepDownTrudeau

Does she know what military does?

I see a threat right here at home

Equipment rust out, buildings falling down, recruitment is no longer matching attrition… she needs a reality check.

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂. Hilarious.

Fixed the headline, WEF puppet insists the WEF is prepard to create evolving global threats to ensure WEF money laundering can continue unabated!

The largest threat to Canada currently lies within our leadership group!!

As usual the fed govt. rhetoric is at odds with the facts.

Absolutely, The Trudeau regime is prepared to saddle our grandchildren with as much debt as necessary To give it away wherever authoritarian far-leftism is being threatened

😂😂😂

For Canada, the only fatal threat is coming from southern neighbor, read Kissinger.

While I have faith in the men and women who serve this country. I have zero faith in those who govern it.

😆 🤣 with Trudeau giving Canadian money to every country except Canada?... sure 😆 🤣

I think the worlds in trouble with these clowns running the show.

Lol. Really? Without the US we are defenceless

How about this threat?

The biggest threat is our government. liberal_party

Second sycophantic story on Anand in 24 hours. Too many negative comments on the lat story? I predict getting ratio'd again. The CCP compromised Liberal_party have destroyed Canada's preparedness.

So your saying your going to fling Trudeau into the sun and make the weather better? Call out the WEF for their plan to rain communism all over the planet?

LMAO this proves how utterly incompetent she is!

Have we even decided what jets were giving to the military? He is all talk no action. Though he did give $100 million to LGBTQ action, that should help NORAD.

We need a war time minister... not someone who is there to line her husband's pockets ...

Highly unlikely

Sure let's take the lawyer's word for it..smh

A global threat won't be the concern. When our front door is wide open and our 'leaders' are compromised, the threat will come from within.

Couldn’t even clean up Nova Scotia after the hurricane !

With inclusiveness. 😂

Document mainstream isn’t covering about Canadian Army going through a digital transformation….

Here’s the real news ctvnews isn’t covering

Good, then we don't need more funding for imperial adventurism

Just pay out portion on defence as per nato!!

ask her if she's managed to replace the WW2 pistols yet. she was in charge of that when she ran PSPC_SPAC AnitaAnandMP

Joke... military can't find housing..

Lay down the maple syrup bombs

Yaaa she really puts the fear of God in the Chinese...piss running down their legs..lol..

Government can’t even ensure a supply of medication to fight viral threats within Canada…

This minister couldn't see if it was snowing outside. What a circus of clowns

Our military uses outdated equipment and we would need others to help us defend our borders. We haven’t stood up to China, Russia, Iran or Saudi Arabia and we count on USA way to much for everything

Put a stop to the illegals crossing the border and improve the capacity and efficiency of the legal channel. How many terrorists or violent criminals have illegally entered Canada?

You will need more horses.

The govt is gaslighting Cdns again. Their specialty.

Idiot. We have maple syrup bombs and geese defence

We don’t have a strong military or weapons, but we have virtue signalling.

The liberals made the military woke and broke.

Another delusional perception

Anita Anand is a traitor to this country to spew such filth ...and CTV you never cease to spout government propaganda. You serve your despicable Master so well.

Defend the borders and coast with man eating moose and beaver and mosquitoes, Canada is ready

Defence minister?

Sure, we cannot have enough kids' medication right now ... imagine when China just stops sending anything.

Like babies

MISINFORMATION

Hard to stop laughing on this one.

🤣🤣🤣

Another Gaslighting liberal_party AnitaAnandMP telling you the impossible will happen. Even if cafreeland found those ‘lost’ billions this wouldn’t happen & CA def cannot service more trillions debt.costingmorethanthemilitaryitself TrudeauMustGo defundctv

Ah, huh!

So we gave away a third of our military equipment, recruitment is at an all time low and retirement is at and all time high, and we are 'prepared'?

Canada's defence minister is just a bad joke, much like the rest of the Trudeau government.

NO ... no contribution to ANY globalist entity. The UN, NATO, WHO, WEF are all evil entities and must be dismantled. They are all liars and want total control of all resources and your body and soul. We will not comply to this monstrosity.

Time to update all equipment everything is outdated ,lots was purchased used feel sorry for people in the Military !

I don't think so Tim.

Is she prepared to defend our country from the WEF?

The only true way to ensure arctic sovereignty is to get multiple nuclear attack submarines. That is the only way China and Russia will take seriously

No we aren’t when your bagging people to join the arm forces and giving them a signing bonus. Pure garbage and we are not ready

Explain to me what she knows about defence

Canada has the largest threat preparedness portfolio in the G7. Kinda when you were procuring vaccines isn’t it.

Canada’s pretend government presenting pretend scenarios. Good grief…..

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol

No ...were not. Look what happened when china's president slapped the prime minister of our country in front of other world leaders. They all laughed at Trudeau, he's a fucken joke to this country...and don't say that little TIT sucker Pierre poilievre would be better he's not.

Define global threats. Define how Canada is prepared.

We will write them a stern letter

CtV is a complete propaganda joke!

Makes you wonder if our MOD has defended anything, ever.

'after missile explosions in Poland prompted concerns about Russia’s war in Ukraine spilling into a NATO country' So this is the narrative you lying sacs have decided to go with? After it was proven Ukraine did it. I now wonder what else you are lying about (besides everything)

That woman couldn’t organize a shower in a rain storm.

Let's see: 42 year old fighters, 30 year old frigates, submarines that are non operational, no air defence capability, antiquated anti-armour systems. We're prepare to let others (U.S. U.K etc.) face global threats on our behalf.

Seems our biggest threats are the elected ones

Our economy is in a mess, Canadians can' get a family doctor, much less a timely operation, they are having to make eat vs heat decisions, home ownership is a no longer a dream but a fantasy, & our debt ridden gov wants to spend more? Shear madness. canpoli

No, we are not. Our military has been rendered ineffective by woke culture. You cannot have soft men and women and expect them to excel in war. Time to toughen up and stop being afraid of hurt sensitivities because war hurts a lot more.

Buahahaha. With what? They’ve taken our guns away and we have little to no army. Russia could very easily walk right into Canada through Alaska.

How the hell would she know.

Like Ukraine firing missles into a another country and blaming someone else?

Really more domestic threats that are the issue.

Trudeau himself is a threat to Canada.

Another un-qualified Trudy member! 👏

Just like the French did in ww2 That's the liberal plan! Just give up!

The Liberal and NDP party are global threats to our nation. They are alienating many Canadians and the past two years of their rhetoric has created a huge divide in Canadians. They spent monies on other nations than Canada. Forced rhetoric on the unvaxed for covid.

As long as we can borrow a bit of equipment for the troops …

AnitaAnandMP our CF18 average age is 27.5, our Naval frigates are 30 years old. If the evolving threat we face is internal mismanagement and over contribution to special interest social groups . supportourtroops CBCNews

Canada isnt ready for 💩 cant even take care own people. Most canadians wouldnt even join military for this woke government why fight for world economic forum.. ☺️☺️

Lol more liberal bullshit. Canada doesn’t have enough war ships subs planes and bombers. Ground to air defence doesn’t exist. No tanks. Not enough supply of air attack drone or sea drones. And Canada’s cyber warfare is like 4 guys in the basement with Atari games

Get the pea shooters and slingshots out

Ya right are you going to draft TikTok generation? Canada can’t defend itself at all. More worried about what gender or sexual preference is.

I don't think we are , we depend too much on the US for protection, Canada needs Nuclear weapons

What a joke

The only global threat to Canada is this tyrannical liberal government

I feel rest assured after hearing this. 😂

Your talking about Truckers again..

The threat is in Ottawa.

Hey she's lieing to you, our military IA severely under staffed, underfunded and underequiped, we are in no shape to fight a war

BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Funniest thing I've heard all day

Yeah right

With an under funded army

Sure they are, 25% manpower shortage, country facing record debt, recession bordering on depression levels of inflation soon. But let's die for globo-whatever?

The problem is our liberal government isn’t prepared for anything. They literally can’t even run our country properly. They’re so incompent at their jobs and have zero accountability for anything.

That is a joke. The citizens don't have guns much less the military.

Just some BS talking points. We are not ready.

🤡

Has long we don’t need to military equipment to do the job…

With what? Not so harsh language?

I see G7 members are comming to wipe their feet on the Canadian Flag 🇨🇦 on the invite of Trudeau and his “ misinformation “ meeting Hitler had the same vision True North Strong & Free Canada 🇨🇦 A global doormat now And this waste of skin of a minister on the China Payrole ?

Horses are ready to trample!

She can say whatever she wants Canadian's know better

So medicating people who they think are afraid of a vaccine that has been killing people is a good idea ?

From what I could see you were not to stellar in your last role as head of the govt warehouse. Not seeing anything thats changed my mind.

No way.

Defence minister vows increased military presence in Asia and Europe despite troop, equipment shortagesAnand sidestepped questions about Canada\u0027s refusal to spend the equivalent of 2% of its GDP on the military, as all NATO members have repeatedly agreed to do And yet again our CAF are being asked to do more in spite of long established shortages of human and materiel resources! Perhaps our Minister of Defence and even more importantly, our Prime Minister, should put on a uniform and put themselves on the line for a change! With their staffing levels, how? We barely have a Navy, the Army is undersized and has no modern equipment. The Air Force is small, and is 100% tasked just maintaining our tiny military footprint. We are a nation of big talkers and freeloaders.

PM's national security adviser tells why she recommended Emergencies Act: 'This was a national crisis'Jody Thomas differed from many previous witnesses who thought the Emergency Act was useful but not \u0027necessary\u0027 to clear the Freedom Convoy. Obviously there was a lot happening behind the scenes not just what we see on the 6 pm news. If lives were being threatened, then there is a need to step in. No public figure regardless of how incompetent or disagreeable they are should be threatened by anyone. Except every single level of law enforcement disagrees. “The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) did not agree that the protests constituted a threat to the security of Canada as defined by the CSIS Act” Yep. Can’t have the inmates running the asylum. Glad we had a PM with the balls to give real Canadians their freedom back.
