Wary of Trump - Canada to make 'substantial' boost to military spending

[Lakhota]

Apparently Canada is feeling the Trump fear. It has been reported today that Canada plans to boost military spending amid concerns they can no longer depend on the United States for defense under Trump.

Canada to make 'substantial' boost to military spending

OTTAWA — Canada's new foreign policy will involve spending billions on "hard power" military capability because the country can't rely on an American ally that has turned inward, says Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland.

In a major foreign policy speech in the House of Commons today, Freeland didn't mention Donald Trump by name, but made an unabashed pitch for the international rules-based order that the U.S. president's America First policy is attacking.

The U.S. has been an indispensable nation in leading the world since then, she said, but that is changing and Canada has to adapt.

She reiterated the government's disappointment in the U.S. decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change.

"International relationships that had seemed immutable for 70 years are being called into question," she said.

Gin (and cheddar).

And a significant boost? For Canada that would be what the Pentagon spends each year on - gin and cheddar.

[DarkFury]

You guys ever watch Canadian football? Guys lined up in Parka's and mittens wearing snow shoes on a ice floe? And as far as the military who wants to invade northern Canada? Geese?
