NATO will soon be defunct
We signed an accord and now we are backing away from it. Russians have an eye on the resources in the north. All Governments better wake up.
Canada has put dental care for senior (the wealthiest group in society) and other initiatives over the protection of our country. This disregard for our safety doesn't just show in military spending but foreign interference, too.
Free Canadian occupied Quebec
Embarassing and needs fixing. Canadians have told the government to fix this. Liberals would rather give money to Africa.
Trudeau and Freeland can easily impose a NATO tax on all Canadians. It's not that big a deal.
Every single question and answer in this interviews don't. Because if you can't explain and you don't explain right off the bat how and why Russia would invade Canada via the Arctic well you just spewing garbage
It is not Trump's business how much we put in NATO. Trump is not the boss of the world.
Canada is tangling it's own laces before it wants to run
Liberals have to step down now FOR SURE. ARREST TRUDEAU!!!
The Trudeau Liberals love to spend but doesn't spend in areas where it needs to. What an incompetent government!
The last thing canada needs is trudeau pissing off trump….
Why can't we reach 2% this year?
9 yeras from now is just LAZY
Those Rangers up north that he mentions are using Mosin Negants old late 19th century Russian rifles
Parliamentarian vacations are expensive
Rather Trudeau handle trump than wannabe Pierre
The neighbourhood is starting to get a bit rough, we are going to need a bigger boat.
When has Trump ever paid his fair share of the bill? He has siphoned more cash from his schemes than Canada owes to NATO. I have a screen door for his personal submarine, and I won't charge him a thing.
Please open the recruitment whoever wants to Live in canada must have to Serve 5 years of military service and 2 years on front lines.
I think the summary Ivo Daalder rings true to everyone (except most Canadians), defend yourself. Stop looking to big brother for help while spending like crazy on social programs. Does anyone remember back in the 90's when we had a destroyer ( we used to have 4) leave Halifax for the Persian Gulf and a Sea King helicopter 'crashed' on the deck (or something embarrassing like that) and the ship had to turn back into Halifax for repairs? Unreal how slack we are. I think the nation is lucky anyone signs up to work under these conditions.
Yes, Canada can even surpass NATO demand…Government can count on taxpayers money😂
It should be number one for Canada
Canada should be paying its fair share fo NATO. For all the whining we hear about the rich not paying their "fair share"…the government certainly does a bang up job of meeting its own obligations. We have 2 billion to waste on a satellite internet program, but cant provide the military with proper equipment and training? So much waste…taxes arent the problem, misallocation of taxpayer funds is.
Trudeau is a pos worst pm ever he has destroyed this beautiful country
Future warfare is cyber it's hard to Comand an army without internet nowadays guns and bombs will be so yesterday warfare
Better start doing some heavy duty sucking up now Trudeau. Canada biggest coward you are.
We could but unfortunately our current liberal government spends our hard earned tax dollars like a bunch of drunken sailors.
Build the Pipelines, Sell Oil and Boost Defense Spending.
Misinformation prevails.
These clowns aren't interested in cooperation, rather confrontation….which is never in the people's interest in any nation.
Germany's government just collapsed.
