This will only get louder, especially as Canada allows abuses against their own citizens while blaming America, among other nations, for their plight.

The abuses of citizens in this country by the Creepy Ones, is indeed tiring.


What's new​


A U.S. senator derided Canada as a freeloader on defence during a high-profile congressional hearing Tuesday in Washington — and suggested he's getting fed up with it.

It happened during an exchange about the anticipated $40 billion US in additional help for Ukraine that the U.S. Congress is expected to imminently pass.

Alaska's Dan Sullivan said he still supports American funding for Ukraine but he also expressed exasperation that so much of the military-assistance burden is falling on the U.S. He asked the witnesses whether they see U.S. allies stepping up and getting closer to reaching NATO's historic military spending target of two per cent of GDP.


Sullivan specifically mentioned Canada twice, and referred to Germany once in passing over the course of his broadside.

"Are you seeing a shift in our NATO allies to say, 'You know what? It's time for us to pull our own weight here. The Americans are doing it — once again," the Alaska Republican asked.

"[Because] $40 billion [more for Ukraine] — that's a lot of money. My constituents have got a lot of needs, too.

"We still have NATO allies, Canada one, who just freeload. And it's getting a little tiring."
 
I don't like calling out Canada publicly about their defense spending. We depend on each other. The 2IC at NORAD is always a Canadian General.

They do play it for more than it's worth sometimes, but Canada is always at our side in a fight. Our closest ally.

So take it up in private Sullivan, if your beef is with Canada! You're from Alaska- you should already know that.
 
Fortunately the US relies on Canada for credibility in their many wars.

In just 56 years (from the end of World War 2 to 2001) , the US initiated 201 of the 248 armed conflicts in 153 locations , accounting for over 80% of total wars fought during that time-period.

Chretien took a big chance by refusing to be duped into supporting their Iraq war, but it paid off for him and the Liberal party in the end.

Trudeau won't try the same because he knows he would have to take a stand against the propaganda blitz to discredit Russia.

Even so, he's too smart to not understand what is 'really' happening in the Ukraine. Add another one to the statistic mentioned above.

America is at war with Russia. There's just no way Canada could have escaped from the trap.
 
Canada repelled 2 American attacks.
over 200 hundred yrs ago when muskets were the main armament .... today Canada doesnt have to spend anywhere near the amount on defense they would have to spend it the US didnt foot the bill for security in this hemisphere .

We're being attacked by Mexico and Central America. We can't even beat people with no weapons at all.
 
Canada is creepy.

Some Americans support funding of Canada.

Therefore, some Americans are creepy.
 
Cantada would not exist without the protection of the US ...

I don't think so.
We tried to invade Canada, and lost.
Canada is protected by the British Common Wealth.
No one is attacking Canada or the US.
The US is not defending anyone, but attacking almost everyone.
 
Saddam said the same thing about Kuwait a few times too.

Kuwait was a fake country created by the British around 1900, to steal oil production from Iraq.
The Emir of Kuwait is not even a Kuwaiti, but a Bedouin who was from those hired for security.
Kuwait should not exist, and be returned to Iraq.

There is no need for ANY security in this hemisphere.
No one even has a navy capable of attacking us, except the US navy.
 
Recently a Canadian Admiral was asked what his country's naval defense strategy was. His answer "call the US Navy".
