and Canadian radar system that includes dozens of sites from Yukon to Labrador. Its job is to detect airborne threats, originally long-range bombers.Our Morning Update and Evening Update newsletters are written by Globe editors, giving you a concise summary of the day’s most important headlines.
That's a lotta dough to track santa....
Money well spent.
Scary times having liberals in charge during war.. scary times..
4.9 billion is not very much for the task at hand, howmuch was given to the Ukraine for defense?
Waste of money and the person that came up with this idea
at this moment we really have to spend billions of dollars? Trudeau government really going to bankrupt Canada very soon 😭
I bet they won't provide receipts. Who could possibly believe this is what they'll do with this printed money? They've found another lie they can claim when in reality they're lining their own pockets.
Let's go broke Canada
Waste of money.
Will it be: Jobs!, Jobs!, Jobs! or Jobs?, Jobs?, Jobs?
Sanctions directly lead to war
Okay
Keep spending!
Smart move.
Jesus FC. Enough spending JustinTrudeau ENOUGH!!! You are going to bankrupt Canadians with your unnecessary spending. Listen to Scotiabank and what they are saying.
The threat in the past twenty years have been two attacks on North America. 9/11 & virus 2020. How will modernizing NORAD address these issues? $98 million to Ukraine? We are broke then all of a sudden we have money for Ukraine & NORAD? Who profits from war? Liberals?
Let’s see how many scandals this money will cause corruption is rampant in the Trudeau government!
Could have had another cool billion if he wouldn't have bought a pipeline to nowhere. Or what if he wasn't stopped from giving a billion to his cronies at Wee. What a mess!
Worries me that my parents - highly educated professionals and both boomers - are worried of an impending nuclear war. Now this.
