Trudeau vows Canada will reach NATO defence spending target by 2032
On Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held his first press conference since attending the annual NATO summit in Washington, D.C. Facing international pressure from allies, Canada has finally revealed a long-awaited timeline for when it expects to reach the NATO defence spending target, but no specific details on how.
“We can say with confidence and assurance that we will hit the two per cent spending mark by 2032,” Trudeau said on Thursday, the last day of the NATO summit.
“We are buying big things. We are building big things, and we are protecting the longest coastline in the world, including with increased responsibilities for the Arctic.”
NATO members agreed in 2014 to spend at least two per cent of their national gross domestic product on defence, but Canada has long fallen short. Concerns about Canada not paying its share have dogged Trudeau during the summit of the alliance, which is marking its 75th anniversary.

He is buying foreign relestate and busy NOT paying taxes of any kind. And taking half a year off using our tax money to do so.
so, does that mean he's stepping down ASAP??
Trudope must realize that Canadians are tired of being broke. No jobs, no homes, no heat for our homes and cannot afford food. Where are you getting the money Trudope???

Don’t allow Canadian men to die when NATO fights Russia, simply because the West doesn’t contribute enough to Ukraine’s winning NOW.
Our army personnel are on food lines, army personnel have no homes, army personnel have medical issues because they cannot look after their families. More suicides because of the above.
Monsieur Trudeau personally I don't mind if you do not respect that promise. I think we should reconsider our role in all of this. Respectfully to Ukraine they are not a NATO member. If you tell me it's for democracy I'll answer with; Why were elections cancelled in Ukraine ? Planes from 1, missiles from another, tanks from a 3rd player. It just doesn't add up.

Canada and US we are family. Not just allies neighbours and friends, but we are family. Originally from UK especially the Irish people fought for Independent from Britain. We are from the same mothers. Just like former US President Obama (Irish) We are not the same with others. We got free protection from the US even without NATO. Beside US was the only one created a lots of jobs in Canada from the beginning till today. Most US President and Canadian PM are Irish. Our government preferred to give money away to our Canadian citizens. We prefer to shops America and Canada. As simple as that. Again USA and Canada we are family from the same mothers. But we also love the European, don't forget! Just to let you guys know who we are. Thanks

2032 is the date that's not different from other NATO countries. It's probably a bit optimistic. Because they had given a lot of thought and discussion for the new plans, It seems like this is what Canada is about. Quality and not quantity like the much bigger countries like France and UK.

The US intentionally destabilized Ukraine in 2014 to install a puppet government. Eastern Ukraine seceded from Kyiv, and Kyiv reacted by shelling eastern Ukraine for 8 years. Nato expansionism during the last 30 years was a provocation against Russia. Ukraine was the last straw.
