At last Governments doing their job, rather than budging on others, while they spend everything on social engineering.

The country must look to its own defenses

“Our government recognizes that while Canada must be strong in our partnerships, particularly NORAD, we cannot and should not look first to others to defend our nation,” Carney said. The sentiment will likely play well both at home and abroad.


Pressure to up Canadian defense spending

Canada’s NATO allies, especially the United States, have been pressuring Ottawa to hit the alliance’s 2% GDP defense spending target in the wake of recent geopolitical events but the former government of Justin Trudeau had not been moving fast enough.


The ‘Our North, Strong and Free’ defense policy

Ottawa released a new national defense policy in April 2024 that outlined Canada would only reach a projected 1.76% of GDP spent on defense by 2029-2030 despite projected plans to invest $73 billion dollars in the country’s defense over the next 20 years.


Welcomed news at home and abroad

At home, Carney’s message will almost certainly be welcomed news to those concerned about US President Donald Trump’s sovereignty threats and continual comments regarding his desire to make Canada the 51st US state.
