The Prime Minister said that, as a middle power, Canada understands how important it is to protect the rules-based international order

Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opposed any deal letting Russia keep Ukrainian land, saying it would encourage other countries to break international rules.

Speaking to a NATO meeting, he highlighted Canada’s $19.5 billion aid to Ukraine and stressed the need to defend global stability.

Trudeau defended his plan to raise military spending to 2% of GDP by 2032 after criticism of Canada’s low defense funding.

He warned against isolating Ukraine, saying continued support is crucial to stop further global conflicts.

    Massive immigration has pushed our health care system to the breaking point in most provinces, also most of the world is annoyed at us because we’re not meeting our NATO 2% GDP military funding. Our military is underfunded, most of our population borders the US so the current government doesn’t see a point in military funding since any attack on us would be an attack on the US. Also he raised our taxes to pay for all this aid to other countries, he’s not very popular right now because of all his new taxes. The second an election is called, he’s out in his ass and TinyTrump will be elected in his place and we’ll be in the same boat as you

      Massive immigration is not why our healthcare systems are at breaking. In fact, they are critical in staffing an understaffed system.

      Leading with it, and blaming it, is right into the narrative that is electing these right wing governments.
