You seem a tad edgy. Lederhosen a little too tight, is it?![]()
Though Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is signing a $3 billion deal to provide security assistance to Ukraine, critics are once again complaining that Canada doesn’t spend enough on defense. In recent days, the country’s allies — particularly the US — have launched a full-court press on the Trudeau government to cough up more cash. It’s unlikely to work.
Last week, US ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith complained that not only does Canada come up short of the alliance’s 2% of GDP spending target — it's the only country with no plan to get there. Smith’s criticism echoes that of NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, who says he expects Canada “to deliver on the pledge to invest 2% of GDP… because this is a promise we all made.”
Your leader
