Trudeau defends Canadian military spending ahead of NATO summit as new report projects decline

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending Canadian military spending as a new report released ahead of a major NATO meeting this week shows Canada heading in the wrong direction.

The report did not specify the reason for expected decline, or whether it includes $8-billion in promised new military spending that was included in April’s federal budget but whose purpose has not been clearly defined. The prime minister also said Canada has repeatedly proven its commitment to the NATO alliance by deploying troops and equipment on a variety of missions, including by leading a multinational NATO force in Latvia.“We know how important it is to step up and we will continue to do so to make sure that the world knows that it can count on Canada to be part of advancing the cause of democracy, the rule of law and opportunities for everyone,” he added.

The battle group in Latvia is one of four established by NATO in 2017, with Germany leading another such unit in Lithuania and Britain and the United States responsible for forces in Estonia and Poland, respectively.

His defense is we are not doing it?

Trudeau just a yes sir puppet to. the usa arms dealers

Canadian media love pics of anyone muzzled. Especially Trudeau.

Think it is time to take away the liberals' line of credit. We do know that many of these promises will not be kept, However, Canadians are in great need of financial help now, and the extra 13% that the liberals deny the provinces for health care. Come back home and give us care

Canada is in decline

more liessssssssssssssssssssssss

DND cant even tell CDNs if $4.9B announced by Anand is new money or recycled money

Which is why our CAF are still waiting for jets, subs, personal kit while government and the upper echelon of the military are focused on gender neutral uniforms.

Get the printing press ready! Hellooooo super inflation! You know he has literally zero respect on the world stage!

Let’s get some of that spending back to the Passport Offices so ppl don’t have to wait 12 hours for a document!! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Is this a surprise? The Trudeau Liberals have consistently used the CAF as a political plaything or have ignored the military altogether since they took power.
