Will Canada be forced to up its military spending? | The Big Story

- All NATO members are required to spend the equivalent of 2% of GDP on their military, and Canada has always fallen short of that benchmark. But now, more frequent domestic crises, mounting geopolitical turmoil, and harsh rhetoric from south of the border, may mean that it's time to put up or shut up when it comes to military spending.
So where do the biggest gaps in our capabilities exist? How difficult will it be to remedy them? And what sort of military do we as Canadians actually want?

What are you taking about? Why we will give money to pay for a war in Ucrain or Palestine or against China.
We are poor here now. We don't want to give money to commit human violations.
There is a wise man in Canada in a heavily prooagandized country
Bot lol
Trudeau : I'll find a way to line my pockets even more out of this one.
I wonder what Canadians think about the desperate need for conscription. Especially with our present slow march into war.
Hopefully these pretend canadians go back to their countries to avoid conscription.
"Slow" is on a spectrum. From extremely slow to as slow as asked for
Troll, 2020 created account. So SICK of you guys. Chinese or Russian?

No worries females will be added if have to draft.
We cant afford the miltary but can afford 220k catering for 6 day trips for our Crime minister
220K is peanuts compared to the military.
@doktormcnasty goverment waste is peanuts compared to.miltary spending
they have an image problem and retention problem that money wont fix
Under Harper it was once under 1 percent. Sucessive Goverments have not invested well in the military. The reason, it does not garner votes
Who wants to die in someone else's wars?
@@user-dn9mx3ji9b The first mission of a military is to defend it's own country and Canada could do more in that regard. Our territorial waters in the Arctic are challenged by Russia and China, and more countries could do the same if we don't project some strenght. Not to mention the rise of terrorism and anti-western powers specificaly naming Canada as an enemy, we have to be ready for any eventualities. Gone are the days Canada could assure it's safety with diplomacy alone.
HARPER IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS ALL ON TRUDEAU NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@user-dn9mx3ji9b if world war 3 comes or Ukraine Falls there will be a Draft and you may not die but you will be fighting someone else's war and hiding in mommy's basement won't save anyone from the Draft and the Front lines.
@@jamesbilodeau8188 And Poilievre was part of the Harper government right.
We have already found out over the past ten years that even if Canadians overwhelmingly disagree with irresponsible government spending, the government will literally go ahead and do it anyways. Canadians have little to no say in how their country is run, that includes elections. That's the sad reality of Canada.
I don't think money spent on our military is irresponsible. What has happened to the CF is irresponsible, and the government is to blame
Translation: My side lost.
That's called dictatorship.
@@ronsmyth2005 enlighten me, what is my side pal 😂
Technically can't increase spending to 2%, because the entire country's economy plummeted far more than that.
Canada has a rather large border with Russia in the Arctic. Nobody ever mentions that part 😂😅😂.
Oh I know all about it 🫡‼️🇨🇦. Alert is a beauty 🤣. But yeah we are woefully lacking in bases up there compared to Mother Russia 🤮
Russia is not the threat. The USA is. We are slowly morphing into the USA. We are no longer sovereign. We do what the USA tells us now. Is that the country you want?
id let russia have it at this point.. they will do better with the land than canada will. sad but true
@@notastone4832 They are busy digging graves for each other
ridiculous
Our only fear is from the US. Russia was never a threat. Show me the evidence.
This is very true
It would be a horrific waste of money. I hope our politicians would Please wake up.
As a Canadian, I sure hope it does.
Why can't Canada take care of Canadians?
Yes we must assist our neighbor in their overseas adventures, why would you even ask.😂
Canada trying to punch above its weight limit. All we really are is a poodle for USA.
Justinder Singh (aka Trudie) must GO!
Um, the guest should be speaking for Canada, not the US.
The US has the most carriers; Canada has zero. He mentioned attack helicopters. The US has the most attack helicopters; Canada has zero.
Etc.
Princess Patricia's "light infantry" always makes me giggle
First you need trained people. Pay them more and guarantee affordable housing and you will be closer to meeting NATO spending levels and starting a much needed rebuilding program. Young people today know the value of housing. On top of that, what better job to do something you like and serve your country.
Young people have a housing crisis, build housing and they will come. Win win.
Why can we not make investments into domestically focused military programs? We have many qualified professionals in our military able to assist in the maintenance and development of our country’s infrastructure.
For one, the military is so broken it can’t even do its baseline jobs. For two, no, we don’t have many qualified people in the military that know anything about maintaining or developing civil infrastructure. For three, the government doesn’t use taxpayer money to compete against private business. They really don’t like that. And there’s no money for infrastructure anyway. The idea isn’t grounded in reality in the slightest.
Are you sure you know what militaries are for and what they do? Expensive construction workers isn’t it.
Sleepwalking into WW3….
Take back all the Ukraine money and put it where it should have gone......
I doubt the Liberals will actually treat our military as we should.
no gov has, under harper it was record low spending! we need to demand more
But what about whiite supremacy?!?! You know these woke liberal clowns are shaking in their crocs
@@Coreyhkh2Under the Liberals, a ton of money are hoarded in French Banks like BoM and RBC.
So if Harper won't spend on military then its because Canada doesn't have the money in the first place due to corruption and hoarding.
Gee I wonder who's the ones hoarding money and not investing in it?
Let me guess? Foreign dual citizenship migrants who's family has ties to a certain West Taiwan Regime?
It's common sense if they havn't done so by now , well you can figure that out
Lol we already are Secretary already acknowledged that clearly When he addressed Canada, we are moving up very quickly so stop the lies
How can Canada invest when they are broke.
Cite sources because that is not my understanding. We are in bad shape I agree but let’s not give into misinformation rhetoric
They borrow $$$ on high interest from Zionist banks. That interest is payed by taxpayers.
Lots of bad spending going on, so they have to cut and drill.
The wealthiests are the lawmakers and pensiona.
And Canada is the top #1 in the word for banks hoarding money for no use or reason.
Yes banks are hoarding trillions and not investing it.
The top industry in Canada now is Real Estate, hence housing cost benefits them.
This is why the government refuses to reduce house costs because it would bring down the GDP, of which real estate is 40% of Canada.
If removing real estate drops the economy down, then banks will inflate with interest rates I'm guessing?
We should
There's no direct financial or status benefit to Trudeau or Freeland, so they won't bolster military spending
We should up out spending and r & d in general. Even if focused on only defensive measures
Do reporters even look at per capita data? Canadas math is not like the others. We inflate our gdp via home prices.
Wasn't 2% a factor in the elimination of the penny ?
Refuse the draft end the wars.
Already done, just for the wrong military. Freeloader has ties to Ukraine so being in charge of Canada's finances, gives billions to Ukraine.
The neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
What's to force?....no pay, no play.
20 years ago the Liberal Party sold all the Private Married Quarters housing, on all bases, thousands of houses FOR JUST ONE DOLLAR to a retired General to manage! Talk about a sweetheart deal. Poland allowed a militia of some 40,000 personnel to be formed, which is totally funded by just people. Canada has a lot of hunters, we could create a 100,000 man militia in six months, for a very low cost and provide our army with an infantry unit to command. But Trudeau and our desk bound NDHQ in Ottawa would never allow it. As they want a tight fist control over all plans.
that's how extortion works
So they can send it all to ukraine
And izzy
@@isabele4365 Hopfully Taiwan can get some of those juicy dollars too!
Considering the state of world peace today, in my opinion, I believe Canada would be negligent if we do not.
Canada is up to 1.38 % currently - they can get there.
Maybe we'll see NATO telling Trudeau if he doesn't they will remove Canada from NATO. :)
That would be welcome news. We should just leave before we are forced to leave. However the US would never let us leave.
@@rjdebruyn As Chomsky was quoted as saying 'NATO is a tool of US foreign policy' Case in point: Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia (1999)....
Lol, that would actually be fair for Trump to do that 10% tariff
Didn't Canada build a bunch of Icebreaking Warships in the past 4 years?
You can't build a bunch in 4 years. It takes about a year to 2 years to put a ship on the water.
@@kcmac66 dial "Canadian New Warships" and be enlightened
IT IS HELPING THE BIG AMMUNITION INDUSTRY ONLY AND NO BENEFIT TO CANADA. WE ARE A PEACEFUL NATION AND KNOWN FOR THIS ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR THIS REPUTATION. WE SHOULD KEEP OUR REPUTATION AND SAVE OUR ECONOMY FOR CONSTRUCTIVE PURPOSES LIKE INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH
How cut child tax credit
is there a nato stock number for men's tampons?
also how do men use tampons? are they inserted in the backside
That's not the problem.
Our soldiers does not have or lacks in sense of national security nor nationalism
It's not fault of military but rather an education. We do not teach kids about What it is to be a Canadian.
Even if we got sufficient soldiers, we do not have sufficient enough moral to defend this nation against foreign threats.
Just do simple research and ask how much of population in Canada is willing to pick up an arm to defend Canadian soil against nation where they or their mom and dad came from.
Isn't it kind of past time we stopped thinking like nations matter? I mean, capital learned this decades ago when are people going to realize nations are obsolete and that if we don't come together as a planet we're doomed to destroy ourselves with these fictional divisions?
Justin will just buy more tampons for the men's restroom until the quota is met
NATO asks, Justin says Yes
No he said i will sign the underline issue .. it's not a yes or no @@user-dn9mx3ji9b
No one is asking Canada to Spend as much as the US , The US spends more than all of NATO Combined , Put this into perspective your neighbor got Tired of all the break ins so they invested in a Security system but you are too cheap to invest. They havn't had a break in since it is deterrent meanwhile you have break in after break in but you still too stubborn to invest.
I vote for even less spending and separate from nato. Because I am anti war and anti imperialism.
If you are trying to sell BS, role out the numbers. No matter how much we spend, it will never match that of the neighbor, who also happens to be the only aggressor around.
Where are our new f-35 s ? Wow it’s been years ! What is the problem ?
They are already obsolete. Many NATO competitors already have methods which can defeat them. They were a cash grab from the get go.
No one is arrastiing. SHANADA
She. Is tout. Of our establishment
Why bother Canada brought chinese forces to train all over Canada. The Canadian military was training with the Chinese military right on the US border. There are Chinese police all over Canada.
Buzzz off No More War Bucks…!!
It should. Our military deserves more and better than what this government can give.
DOES GIVING MILLIONS TO UKRAINE COUNT???
Does Canada want to remain an active member of NATO?
Who is "Canada"?
NATO should have been disbanded when the ussr dissolved. Either that or accepted Russia as a member when they requested to join. The fact that they didn't speaks volumes to NATOs real purpose: as the military arm of empire.
No
Prediction: Liberals will find some friends and give them billions to make planes and ships that do not fly or float……but they will be green!😂
All parties have been sending millions over seas not a peep from Conservatives because they are bought as well. Pollieve Pete has same foreign policy as Biden crew.
Not unless they can spend money on lgtbq paraphernalia for the military
If Canada had to defend its self ,59 percent of our Army over all would not be able to participate there are no subs or ships ,or planes ,or tanks , for them to operate ,we have sent everything we have over sees starting back with the conservatives iand Stephen Harper , sending everything to Ukraine for foreign training programs ,remember when Harper lied to Canadians and said that America asked for assistance , America said no we didnt .
Ah yes, the old protect trudeau and blame everything on Harper routine.
let me suggest 3 years military service for all new immigrants . We're in a housing shortfall let the military house them besides they take up all of our service sector jobs which are students used to work after all Canada is a place of learning that's our main import is students and that the students don't have jobs and they have student debt do you see what's happening here with the housing shortfall no jobs high immigration. Let's see how bad they really want to live here if they have to defend our constitution by joining the military for 3 years then I'll consider them to be Canadians
Military also has massive housing issues and can't house the troops they already have.
The romans did that and see what happened. I think one paper it would make sense however a bunch of foreign spies could join or they would just be ineffective
War is a racket. Who cares.
@@samluke8121 what do you mean
What do you mean "up its military spending..." we're not even keeping our membership promise to NATO. This is an organization with membership dues and we have to pay it. To dumb it down: you can't tell your health club, "i'll pay you later"....they'd drop you like a hot potato. So pay up or leave, Canada!
Leave! 👍🍁

Nobody can force us to do anything - isnt that the foreign interference that politicians are concerned about??? Let Europe defend itself for a change!
And what about your sovereignty?
Oh, right, the US protects that.
@@user-kq5ke5yb6k well Comrade Turdeau and our so-called military doesn't, that is for sure!
Mr. Gurney did a great job in a short time. Almost exactly as I have been thinking, asking the same questions I am left with. A series of Canadian governments have given the military short shrift. We had been heading that way when Afghanistan happened and that war was the spending of the residual without the refurbishment. Then the constraints of balancing the budget by the Harper government. Then the joyous spending of the Trudeau government with joyous deficits ,with no actual increase in dollars but losing to inflation with the liberals immediately devalued dollar to 25% off the American dollar.
As I said a great synopsis by Mr. Gurney
Oh, lets stop blaming all governments. trudeau has had almost a goddamned decade! HE IS THE PROBLEM!! HARPER ET AL ARE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did Harper amass 285 Billion in Debt with his 'balanced' budgets? 🤔
That's 31Billion on average per year ... 😜🤪🤑 balanced budgets😊... you know the brain washing was good when 10 years later it's still the narrative.
@@ksmith4712 HARPER IS GONNNNNEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ITS ALL ON TRUDEAU NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ksmith4712 that was the balanced budget, if I recall. The intent was to maintain the dollar at close to par with the US $. The US was spending massive amounts on the Iraq/ Afghanistan wars. But the Canadian budgets were balanced.
Not the 1.2 Trillion, with the 31 billion deficit attached. On top of ever increasing taxes. The inflationary spiral started immediately after the Trudeau government was elected by increasing spending to allow a 25% drop in the dollar. Morneau had to have known this was going to eat away at the earnings and savings of responsible Canadians, but Trudeau was happy to let inflationary housing prices to offset his spending imagination.. The whole thing was a spiral with no responsible outcomes but managed tax increases.

Get Canada out of NATO NOW!!!
Master Ye Su said " The Kingdom is within you. Here and now". Google "The secret sayings of Ye Su pdf" and download the book. It is an eye opener
Russian ships are in the Caribbean soooo. The fact our military arsenal looks like Tonka Toys by comparison, seriously think it through!
Not for long IVAN
Pensions travel food and nonsense just divert that money. Maybe break off a chunk for
northern clear water initiatives
Canada has the funds. It’s so embarrassing our troops still using old equipments and their safety is little or to nothing
"Will Canada be forced to up its military spending?"
That is an odd question, given what the ambassadors, NATO generals and others like them have said.
Canada is upping its military spending.
Has been for years, ever since the Conservatives were voted out, little by little, because that's the reasonable thing to do.
Also, why do you only care about monetary spending?

Spending on military is irrelevant. It is smoke and mirrors. A good chunk of military spending is for projects that aren't happening and the money returns to the government disappear into the ether. Government gets a sound bite and don't really have to spend the money. I'll also add that this money isn't really spent on the military, but is managed by procurement Canada. Again,only gets distributed to corporations favoured by the current government in return for nothing. I served from 1985 through to 2019 and watched $2B get spent not buying helicopters over this period. Another chunk of that money is for salaries. The money announced is done with these funds embedded as if we are at full strength. This means that again, almost 20% gets returned to government to disappear into the ether.
Always remember, the government is the biggest conman out there. Practically everything they say is not the really the truth.
The USA is the world police and want us to help pay for their messes.
Up our spending to fill their mic coffers
Are we under threat from their enemies?
What if we asked BRICS+ if we could attend one of their meetings?
What if we started cooperating with the emerging new world order?
Holy Cow People 🤦🏼♀️‼️. Check history,…when you invest in your military…you invest in The Economy, training to young people without jobs which helps with the trickle down effect. It’s been proven in the past. As a Veteran I really hope Canadians wake up and realize how critical it is to maintain us. 🫡‼️🇨🇦
The problem is that the Americans look at the exchange rate of the Canadian to American dollars and then rate us to the total amount to the 2%.
Why not just give Russia 10 billion to stop fighting
