Pentagon Leaks Reveal Trudeau Told NATO That Canada Will Never Meet Promised Spending Goals

 

Washington Post: Trudeau told NATO that Canada will never meet spending goal, Discord leak shows 

TORONTO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told NATO officials privately that Canada will never meet the military alliance’s defense-spending target, according to a leaked secret Pentagon assessment obtained by The Washington Post. The document’s anonymous authors say Canada’s “widespread” military deficiencies are harming ties with security partners and allies. 

The document, which has not been previously reported on, says “enduring” defense shortfalls led the Canadian Armed Forces to assess in February that it “could not conduct a major operation while simultaneously maintaining its NATO battle group leadership [in Latvia] and aid to Ukraine” — and that the situation was not “likely” to change without a shift in public opinion.

Every available apartment and condo in my neighbourhood is being filled with large subsidized refugee families. The only thing that matters to Trudeau is the vote. Our military is in shambles and will only get worse. This dystopia of a woke country couldn’t be taken over soon enough. We don’t deserve it anymore.

As long as Canada continues to sell oil in the dollar it can do pretty much whatever it wants.
