PM Trudeau's NATO commitment is meaningless. It's just another announcement.

This week on Now and Next:The NATO Summit has wrapped up in Washington D.C. and Canada’s defence spending was a more than touchy subject. House Majority Leader Mike Johnson called Canada's lack of commitment "shameful". The minimum contribution for NATO members is 2% of GDP. Canada spends less than 1.4%.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadian spending will not be driven by some "nominal" target. At the same time, he made a meaningless gesture to hit the 2% target by 2032 - EIGHT YEARS from now.Retired Major General Scott Clancy served in the RCAF and as Director of Operations for NORAD. He says government after government make defence spending announcements BUT the Armed Forces never spend it. In fact, the CAF routinely turns back hundreds of millions of dollars every year because they CAN’T spend it.You can watch OR listen to this episode on our YouTube Channel (Be sure to subscribe!)Follow Dave on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and XAnd you can leave us a voice comment here!For more information go to Dave's website.
