So shocking, but Trudeau has an obligation to increase military spending by more than 70%. This is just step 1.
I'm guessing General dynamics are going to get some big $.Bombardier is Quebec, I'm sure Trudeau will send them some money to secure them staying in canada.
I wish I could read Trudeau's mind how ideologically fucked he is right now. He certainly understands that he is and suddenly everyone he was actively attacking recently must now go speak with.
How about energy east eh? How you planning to get the oil over the europe? Train? How long until another oil train crashes in quebec?
Including inflation. But look around. Does it look like military spending has increased 70% to you? They gave a bigger budjet to Defense. But Defense can't spend it, because federal beurocracy gets in the way. It took 10 years to select a pistol replacement, and now they are back to square 1 because one of the bidders complained and a judge made a decision. It takes some kind of crisis for anything to get done.
Even with inflation it's a big increase in spending. Under Harper military spending dropped to under 1% of our GDP.
And for new equipment, it will take some time. In Halifax 15 new frigates are being build for $70 billion. 3 out of the 8 arctic patrol ships are now completed. Two new supply ships should be completed next year. Now we will get F35 jets. We are currently in the biggest procurement phase of the CAF since the WW2.
There is no obligation. Trump tried for four years to get NATO countries to up their military budget and he failed. We will see if Trudeau increases the military budget even further (which wouldn't be a bad thing).

You literally explained the obligation. Trudeau ignored trump because where was the threat. Now there's a threat and trudeau looks like a blackface.
Trudeau is absolutely obligated. I guarantee you Biden and Johnson told him that he has to hit this obligation or risk not having nato defend us if our neighbour russia invades us.
He isn't obligated. There is no law that requires him to hit 2% of the GDP as military spending no matter what Biden or Johnson say. And even if Canada doesn't hit the 2% GDP spending target (like many other NATO countries), NATO will still come to our defense.
The jets were just old and needed replacing. It's either that or have somebody else fly NORAD over Canada. Nobody wants that. So he had to get off the pot.

It used to be an informal guideline. It became a requirement, but was flouted by Trudeau. It's an unenforceable requirement/obligation now.
What are they going to do though? Kick Canada out of NATO? Weaken NATO? Technically the 2024 date hasnt even come, but it's basically impossible to hit the number in a single year, he's obligated to start spending now or risk to see what punishment comes.
You have to put this in context as well. Europe needs our oil/gas.
Trudeau didn't meet the 2% requirement for 2024. He cancelled energy east to hinder delivering oil to europe. He also just announced significant reduction to oil and gas? Literally the opposite of what our NATO allies want him doing.
Trudeau looks like a diplomatic threat working against their interests. Maybe they just say... Canada and their 50 year old broken down unfunded military isnt even a great loss to NATO. We're out.
What happens next? Russia sends some more Tupolev Tu-160 to see how Canada is doing with our CF18s?
Clearly Canada is more than required which is why Trudeau is hypocritically breaking another election promise of not buying F35s.
An unenforceable requirement is worth nothing. There is no punishment if a country doesn't meet the 2% GDP target.
He cancelled energy east to hinder delivering oil to europe.
Energy East was cancelled because Quebec was against it, not
because he wanted to hinder oil deliveries to Europe. He secured votes in Quebec with the cancellation.
He also just announced significant reduction to oil and gas?
He didn't. Since Trudeau is in power oil production increased by over 30%. Trudeau can be the biggest environmentalist he can, but there is something even more powerful. Money, and oil makes money. Today we produce more oil than at any other point in Canadian history.
Canada and their 50 year old broken down unfunded military isnt even a great loss to NATO. We're out.
There are countries in NATO with an even more desolate military and no one is threatening them to throw them out. Canada could even reduce its military budget and we would be still a core member of NATO just because of the fact that we have the largest access to the Arctic.
Russia sends some more Tupolev Tu-160 to see how Canada is doing with our CF18s?
As we can see now in Ukraine these Russian planes aren't even a match to basic defenses like Stinger rockets. Our CF18s would destroy them easily.
Clearly Canada is more than required which is why Trudeau is hypocritically breaking another election promise of not buying F35s.
Times change. And be glad that the clown broke a shitty election promise. Just like with the electoral reform. If he had enacted an electoral reform, the CPC would never form a government again.
I honestly have a belief that this fucktard is incapable of making a single right decision ever. Maybe he gets one decision correctly in a day, MAYBE. He’s the type that probably pees on his hands and licks it clean.
Now that he’s buying the F-35, I have a feeling that there’s something wrong with it. Perhaps he’ll insist on getting the anti-racism addon that prevents the plane for shooting other planes of colour.

Trudeau just found himself in such a deep hole...
He already increased it by almost 50% since 2015. Harper cut the military budget quite drastically to balance the budget.

He has to increase it by 70% from a week ago when our allies obligated him and he made the promise.

The air force wanted F-35s. It's the only fighter that makes sense. Remember, we will operate them for the next 50 years.
