In the linked article this one references it says that target is in 10 years. But also Canada hasn’t had a very good track record of hitting the NATO spending targets.
I also imagine Carney by probability is long gone then.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada and its NATO allies have agreed to substantially hike their defence-spending target to five per cent of annual GDP by 2035.
Will also point out the Liberals is suppose to table the next budget in Nov.4.
Carney will not survive the next election. The Cons were set to win until anti-Trump sentiment swayed us to Carney’s “elbows up” talk.
But he put those elbows down real fast.
If it makes is less dependant on the asshole to our south, great.
Don’t get your hopes up. McGinty was on CBC two days ago talking about deepening integration with the US in intelligence, security, and defense. He said he thought Canada’s cooperation should remain “unshaken” despite everything that has happened.
More War Room spooge?
I don’t get the point of these stupid articles. Canada needs to spend a lot more on military. A lot more. The only question is whether tagging it to GDP is enough or we need to do more.
We just need to be smarter about how we spend it. Canada has a huge territory with a small population, so efficiency is key.
