Has lack of defence spending hurt Canada’s reputation? | CTV Question Period

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

Every policy decision over the past 9 years has hurt Canada's reputation.

[@jasonmay9387]

The correct answer,

[@Osprey23-o8l]

That is obvious to everyone even the lefties would agree.

[@dbmuir8683]

Only 9? Go figure!!!

[@Gwailoh911]

I grew up on a military base under Martin and Harper. We've been broken for a long time.

[@Matts000]

@@Gwailoh911 defence spending is never been Canada’s priority, given that the country is content being a freeloader. But one thing that has changed under JTs time is that not only is the military broke, but now nobody wants to join. And that is a direct result of this government’s policies.

[@TravelsT-j6h]

100%. I would like to know where all are tax money is going. No military, poor healthcare, no public safety.

[@bloodaxe3578]

The truth? It is going to immigrants by the truckloads.

[@AC-zt2ky]

It’s going into companies owned by lib MPs

Canada has 45 year old fighter jets. Only have 12 that are capable of fighting. About 20 tanks ready to fight.

[@guardianoffire8814]

Nuclear weapons are better than fighter jets, battle tanks, and everything else, unless their nuclear powered submarines carrying nuclear weapons. Ukraine will have to secede territory to Russia and was prevented from using weapons supplied by allies on military targets deep within Russian territory.

[@mazimo1]

Yeah remember when Canadians were whining about Harper wanting to buy 65 F-35s to replace them, then those same Canadians voted in another Trudeau so they could smoke weed legally? You reap what you sow, Canada has now been decimated by 2 Trudeau PMs and Canadians will not learn from voting Liberal and NDP.

[@lloydkuepfer1599]

Of course defense spending is a factor. Canada doesn't matter right now.

[@CanadianDreamer]

Make Canada Great Again!

[@BrandonRaffy]

I planned on going into to the Armed Forces for most of my youth- GLAD I DIDN'T! Under no circumstances would do anything for Canada in it's current state- Canada is not worthy of preserving or defending. 🤔

[@georgehantzakos9893]

Trump is a powerful leader, that will force needed change in Canada, Biden is weak and Trudeau has not felt the need to do anything.

[@jamiewafer924]

You are such a simple soul😢

[@hardeepchaudhary893]

Canada America border is so long it's hard to deploy security on all of the border. Canada csn tieten security where it's most used for illegal activities

[@hardeepchaudhary893]

Canada should definitely spend more on defense. Defence arctic policy was great that was introduced recently.

[@pdnowlin]

Saddle up cowboy 🫡🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@speroskoufis7505]

What reputation, they literally slapped a tariff and tell you to meet your nato target

[@sonnyyeung6060]

25% is a bluff, U$ needs Canadian products…

[@Woolverine25]

Absolutely!!! In 2015, before Trudeau was sworn in he cancelled Harper’s order for new jets. Trudeau took money out of the military budget every time he needed some.

[@WLDB]

How could it not given the state of the world.

[@BB-zq2eo]

Obviously, it’s talked about quite a bit

[@kennova01]

what does canada do with all the taxes they collect..

[@mazimo1]

It's invested into Liberal and NDP cronies pensions and pockets and the rest into useless Gov't programs like DEI.

[@BrandonRaffy-2.0]

Our repuation is a joke, thanks to Trudeau.

[@jayshahu]

Nice spin. He again mentioned it in his meet the press interview.

[@bluefalcon0001]

Axe the tax. Stop the crime. Build the homes. Fix the budget. Stop mass immigration. Spend 2% of GDP on Military. Restore the promise.

[@BronsonWally]

Its all Canadians fault , we just allow this criminal to do what he wants unchecked. He owns the law. We need to do something together as a collective . We all need to go back to Ottawa 10 times as big.

[@luannecorlett4683]

take your stupid convoy somewhere, like the dump

[@lukemoloney1113]

Yes

[@mikefreve159]

We need to feel proud to be Canadian again! Tighten up the immigration standards and select only the best please. We don't need anymore cashiers or casual labour from abroad and leave those positions for students and Canadians already pursuing employment. Lose the self interest group funding and fund our military.

[@luannecorlett4683]

always proud to be Canadian regardless the situation, if you feel that way, leave

[@darrelc6746]

He is a piece of work alright.

[@stockleykxf450]

Well gotta love trump because he hates Trudeau and his kind and jagmeet is scared of trump so funny. In Alberta we like trump and smith does 2 lol karma for Canada lol

[@traviscutler9912]

We're going to get screwed by Trump as that's what he always does and you're excited for that?

[@icantwiththis]

Duh
