We should be suspended from NATO until we pull are own weight with the 2% GDP for the military, NOW, not 25 years from now.
We have tampons in mens military/government bathrooms. Canada is fully secure. ?
Maybe they take the idea of a bear being able to climb up and down a pole more seriously than their out of touch counterparts.
Trump needs to tell NATO delinquent members that not only do they need to spend 2% this year but make up for the 2% that they have missing for decades or they will be kicked out of NATO.
Get out of NATO, done deal.
Start building Miniature Drones by the Millions. This is the future of Warfare. Your Welcome Bill.
Our forces are a joke, thanks to the governments of the past 30 years.
Blair's a drunk ?
Time to leave nato. The neverending needless conflicts are of no benefit to the average canadian.
Maybe Canada should be demoted from G7.
America trying to get Canada to sink billions into their war machine. Times haven't changed much since American Woman 1970.
USA lost Vietnam, Afghanistan, losing Ukraine, Siria, Iraq, it's currency is diminishing, it's borders are unguarded, the homeless is unreal and it's bankrupt.
USA politicians want endless war against the world then I don't want to be a party to this madness.
Trump will help Canada to correct our military spending problem whether we like it or not.
Trudeau will just tell them they are asking for more than we can give.
Spend the money. Canada has been a major participant in every major commonwealth conflict. Canada was amongst the most capable militaries in both world wars. We need to be ready to show our strength as a strong and free nation and defend western values like our 4 fathers did so proudly. Spend the 2 percent and stop sending it to foreign countries we must be ready to defend ourselves and our allies.
2 years Conscription for every male 17 to 20. It has large social positives. In brings our mosaic together in a military brotherhood. Canada should have a really strong military.
Justin Weasel is running out of excuses.
I blame Jagmeet at this point cause he is deliberately blocking Canadians from their right to an early election.
Does Bill Blair know he is still alive? Maybe it is just his soul that is dead.
With Trump there won’t be any wars.
Reminder in 2020 team trudeau (CONservatives, bloc and liberals) voted NO on a wealth and inheritance tax. 4 years later we have the largest wealth inequality gap, 50 billionaires and thousands of multimillionaires. Well done team Trudeau.
Trump and Poilivere will have lots to fix, but ALL of North America will benefit from their eventual leadership….Common Sense…
American défense contractors need more of our tax dollars ? + ? …come on Canada!
What if…….the country's that don't pay are then forced into committing some kind of event the world stage???
Step One: remove Bill Blair from all involvement with the Canadian government – regardless of whether it's public or private sector. He destroys everything he touches.
Nobody trusts Trudeau
