Cpl. Nicolaus Lalopoulos takes part in a Canadian Armed Forces training flight at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, in March. Defence spending is a key question in the federal government's upcoming budget.
And substantial spending on Canada’s dismal pensions is coming when
And when are pension increases coming
On the bright side we got rid of many of our old, obsolete weapons by giving them to the Ukraine and then giving ourselves a pat on the back. Win-win!
According to conservative media.
We must do our part. I'm tired of our excuses.
We are buying planes we should have purchased a long time ago but we are now paying much more. We did not keep up with our committments. Just another Trudeau mistake, that costs the taxpayer dearly. Just another notch in his belt.
Spending for our country’s safety, not Europe!!!!!
IMO: As we recover from the pandemic, we need to focus on rebuilding in smart and farsighted ways, and that means cutting unnecessary and wasteful spending whenever possible. Military spending driven by emotion should not overshadow critical domestic priorities. cafreeland
The Arctic region needs more military equipment and infrastructure built! The Port of Churchill should be redeveloped to a Northern Supply Base with icebreakers! cafreeland nationalpost globalnews CBCPolitics
Hurry, before they all join paramilitary groups and biker gangs to be like on tv.

Or! We could stop giving the peoples money to defence contractors and weapons manufacturing.
Ignored for over a decade, cancelled many contracts that cost us billions but now they want to help.
Conservatives want to spend more but dont want to pay the taxes required. Conservatives are poor money managers.
RosieBarton No money for our military. Trudeau gave it to the enemy.
RosieBarton 'Charron hypothesized that in a situation where Russian President Vladimir Putin lashes out in the Arctic.' Really? He can supposedly barely handle Ukraine and we're expected to believe that if he actually attacked Canada, a NATO country, that it would be some kind of 'problem'?
Canadian Armed forces 'cut and ran' away from the Taliban, who had no airforce. Fun fact: over 17 thousand sexual assault claims in the Canadian Armed Forces!
What they really need is new legislation governing procurement, a de-politicization of procurement and a de-linking of weapons development and manufacture from economic development. We should not follow the American road of using weapons manufacturing as jobs created.
