- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended Canada’s military spending Thursday after criticism from Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan, stating that the government has spent “massively” on NORAD upgrades and has stepped up Canada’s NATO commitments.
“We invested massively in NORAD modernization just earlier this year, and we’re continuing to step up in our NATO commitments,” Trudeau said at a press conference in Summerford, N.L.
Sullivan criticized Canada’s contributions during a confirmation hearing for Lt.-Gen. Gregory Guillot, who is in line to become head of NORAD. “I hope the Canadians are watching your confirmation hearing,” Sullivan said to Gregory during the hearing, calling Canadian defence spending “incredibly disappointing.”
“They’re not very good at paying for missile defence either, even though we protect the whole North American continent,” he added.

As a Canadian, I'm glad our friends from the south and North West are calling out and putting pressure on our incompetent government
Why? America is the one footing the trillion dollar military bill and the contract that states an attack on one is an attack on all of us.
Served in 2012 at 19 years old in the Canadian Army as a Combat Engineer. I'm glad someone is not sugar coating the issue. Trudeau, your incompetents knows no bounds in a trillion different ways.
Incompetence*
What a shame that Canada has such a leader. I used to go and love people in Canada so much and still loving. But this man has broken trust to the country. Greetings for conscious Canadians from Russia and Polnad.
Poland is one of my favourite places on Earth!! I spent five months there in 2018/19 and hope to return someday soon! I currently live in Canada; I grew up here but was born in Northern Ireland - as a teen, I went back and lived for nearly a year, in Belfast, where I was born and learned the true gift that Canada was. Now I am ashamed of what she has become.
Really. Except there are many Canadians that think he has done a lot for this Country. Why do you think he is in ?. he was voted in by canadians. Three times.
@@maeve1229 2/3 "wins" with minority governments and has had to rely on the NDP to prop him up! He also lost the popular vote in those last 2 elections and only won by seats. If the promised electoral changes were made, he might not have won the last 2 at all - thus, those changes were never made. And let's not forget the possible Chinese, and who knows who else, interference...then there's his most recent "faux pas" - an actual WWII Nazi in parliament? Or how about alienating Canada with his insistence on India's involvement in the killing of the Khalistani terrorist? It is scandal, after scandal after scandal with this guy! Even if you like him, you surely must see that it is time for an election and he must go! He is now an embarrassment to our country and refuses to be a man and take personal responsibility for anything. As leader, he must do better or step down!
And I have barely scratched the surface on the damage he is doing to our country. Enough is enough.
The last year Canada spent 2% of our GDP on military spending was in the 1970's, therefore both the Conservatives and Liberals are to blame for the state of our military.
Bill Blair new defense minister. What a joke
How is Bill Blair the defense Minister? He's afraid of guns? I guess we'll just gaslight our enemies into submission!
Wasn't he at the dog funeral yesterday?
@@MultiZoedogdefinitely not the junior rank mess NCOs mess as I'm pretty sure he would report in the morning he" fell down the stairs " of the mess .
Absolutely the opposite of what military leadership is about.
But no doubt will slide in nicely with NDHQ ..

We're the cheap neighbor that doesn't help pay for the fence.
We’ll even go as far as saying we don’t like the color of the fence. Our county is sickening now.
@@ronpeer7975 100%
We give all our money to Ukraine.
It can be laundered and put in a Swiss bank account.
No worries, it's our other neighbor that we need a fence for
@@ronpeer7975 "The United States spends a lot on the military and has no public healthcare." --- Understandable, when you need to protect yourself AND your stoned neighbor.
Less money into diversity and more money into Canadians and our protection. We can’t depend on the USA to protect our land forever.
Actually, the US is getting more and more nervous because Canada is now a deep...
... state for 'Chai Nah'.
As a Canadian, most defiantly we do not pull our weight. Blame the leadership of Canada, and the people that vote for them
We live in Cafrica dude, it's a 3rd world country white people don even live here anymore
What did the Conservatives do for the military?
It takes over a decade to fulfill a military procurement. We have been in the process of buying new planes and naval vessels for twenty years. Every party is responsible for this. By the way, have you seen the US deficit lately? The same people screaming to balance the budget also want an updated navy and airforce. They must have all dropped out of math class in grade four. If Canadians are not complaining about the government they wouldn’t know what to talk about at the dinner table.
Que the Conservative blame game. @@bobwoods1302
@@bobwoods1302classic deflection..let’s talk about a government that was in power almost a decade ago 🤦🏼♂️
I spent my life in the military. It's a cycle we always joked about, we always prepared for massive military budget cuts everytime the liberals were elected. We even had difficulties paying for gas for vehicles, paper and ink for printers, it was embarrassing.
Thank you for your service 🇨🇦

I’m currently joining the caf as an infanteer (ik dumb idea) i’ve heard stories about how scarce ammunition is, is that true?
@@Vincent-vn7xo It was when i was in, just enough for yearly quals, nothing more. The liberals make the armed forces cut everywhere until nothing is left. It's demoralizing.
Azam Ishmael see the problem

To the extent that a person sits in power for too long (more than 4 years), he begins to feel dizzy from narcissism and permissiveness! It's time to choose someone else. Prices for everything in Canada are the highest in the Western world. The middle class is impoverished. New immigrants coming to Canada are shocked by the low standard of living and low wages.
If the election does not happen until Sept. 2025, Trudeau will have been PM for ten years at that point. Which, based on the last 40 years of federal election history, means his government is toast.
I'm not sure how much longer Canada can keep going like this. It truly is sad. The most resource rich country in the world, and we have someone as wasteful as him.
Everyone I see is doing good. Maybe it's just you that's having trouble.
Pierre Poilievre for prime minister!
Vote conservative! 🇨🇦💙🇨🇦
Man i cant listen to this guy no more.. we need Pierre Poilievre..
Trudeau thinks countries listen to canada is laughable
Canada's national motto should be "Canada, we strive for mediocrity". Or maybe "Canada, thhp, better 'an nuthin'. This nation is an underperformer in every way.
It's sad, when it is the most resource rich country in the world. Soon we are going to be competing with the lithium mines in Africa.
Facts
verbal diarrhea. bottom line, he's not achieving the nato commitment of 2% of GDP on defence spending. canada sets a bad example as a nato member. there are nato countries that are much poorer and they reason that if a rich country like canada doesn't meet their commitment, why should they.
2% of GDP on defence spending? Against the problems we already have, 2% of GDP on defence spending would economically ruin us. Canada would also be advertising to Russia and China to nuke us. And the best of all, you want Trudeau to be in charge of it all. He'll get us all killed in a war. That must be what you want.
@@seanhiggins2740no it wouldn’t. We pend more on debt servicing than we do the military and we have nothing to show for the billions Trudeau has squandered
@@RedTeamBlueTeam "we have nothing to show for the billions Trudeau has squandered" Oh, so you want to give our male feminist Fuhrer even more money to spend on NATO. What do you think the Liberals will do with that money for defense spending? That he has wasted so much money on other things isn't good enough for you. As a military leader, somehow you forget that Trudeau fled Ottawa over a few hundred trucks. You can increase military spending to 10% GDP, but with the Liberals in power, you will NEVER get an effective military.
The 22 gauge hunting lady is standing behind him 😂
She moose hunts with that 22 gage! 😂
Hahahahaha
My goodness Global - it is nice to see an MSM outlet finally calling out Trudeau on his hypocrisy, lies and...mistruths! Also nice to see you are actually allowing comments, unlike so many other news orgs. The CBC should be taking lessons from you!!
Keep up this good work!!
Azam Ishmael liberal director. wow and we thought sum french guy ran the show. sirpriz
He was to busy giving the money away he forgot our actual allies
RESIGN
Brigade size? Where are the troops to support this?
First Nations and the 'Alphabet Crew' are going to step to the plate 😂😂😂
In Ottawa, sitting at desks.
WE THE PEOPLE , [ IN CANADA ] , ARE ...INCREDABILLY DISAPOINTED TOO !
I wonder how US politicians refer to Trudeau behind his back, probably “little potato” as well
US politicians have Sleepy Joe as their head honcho. They're in no position to boast
Muppet boy I think.
Sock monkey
Dictator Trudeau is what he’s called in the US and Alaska.
What he's failing to say; he wants the other countries to step up, so we don't have to. Then lectures our troops over there that their biggest threat is climate, not the war in Ukraine.
We are left out of AUKUS. We were not invited to 5 eyes meetings. We look like clowns right now. We couldn't even send a peace keeping force if we wanted to.
It’s soooo embarrassing as a Canadian,we need to up the anti ALOT,I don’t blame the USA,good for him to show how awful Trudeau is towards our safety,SERIOUSLY PEOPLE
We need to up our spending. Russia has shown there are still dangers in the world. We need to rebuild our navy as well.
Russia is a danger?!! Do you have any idea what's really going on or do you just believe everything CBC tells you?
Russia is not the danger. Biden is
Oh no, lets instead spend money on rewarding Municipalities for for the worst housing support in the G7 and let's spend millions on legalising lethal drugs in BC. What a joke
Keep buying used military equipment, that breaks down. . Then donate them, lol
not really, we gave away our 39 brand new super bison's support trucks that were promised to our military at the cost of $2.9 billion package.
they are probably all destroyed now.
Unlike the USA all the weapons "given" to Ukraine must be paid back in full, as part of the land Lease agreement.
Canada is just giving everything away without asking for anything back.
We have not lived up to our obligations. At the very least we should be able to protect and patrol our boundaries with emphasis on the north and the oceans. The US and Russia are constantly being invasive of our territories. In regards to NATO virtually every country spends more on defence than we do. It is no wonder we aren't kicked out of NATO.
As a veteran we couldn't protect PEI and our new leadership in NDHQ is just like the liberal NDP politicians. Definitely the opposite of leadership and ethics. God help us
TO ALL AMERICANS AS A CANADIAN IAM SO SORRY FOR OUR LIBERAL WOKE PRIME MINISTER PLEASE REMBER AS A PEOPLE OUR HANDS ARE TIED
I live in Nova scotia and i agree....our government does anything they want with ZERO consequence....democracy?...YEAH RIGHT.
Too bad the GTA keeps the status quo in power and will somehow do the same again next election
Uh the U.S. had the Biden family in charge. That's just as bad.
To all Americans most Canadians are not little cry babies like greyman.
@@bobwoods1302 You know Canada is also America right?...or do you mean USA?...there are 35 countries in AMERICA..
I'm a Canadian living in NovaScotia and actually yes we are all cry babies...cuz we just keep complaining and do nothing to change anything....Bobwoods...what do you do about anything except complain about not being a cry baby..*drops mic.
Just get it over with and write a check to the US every year.
"they are simply asking for more than we can give at this time"
Stop dancing around the question and meet the 2%
But that will cut into our foreign aid to corrupt countries and warlords! We would look bad in the eyes of the UN!
Canada already spends too much on the military-industrial complex - I wish they would spend less.
And hid behind an American soldier, I would not want that. No disrespect to any American military personnel, I just prefer our own well equipped and well trained professional force to protect us.
This guy is got to break us all.
Ya, I don't know how much more of him we can take.
Sorry, they've been busy trying to have a revival over here.
You should be impeached too
Say it senator!!!! We doing a bad job, without the USA, I doubt if we can protect ourselves fully. It’s sad!
Without the US most the western world wouldn't be able to protect itself. America is sole reason the West is as well off as it is.
Fighter Jets 0:42
Oh, the ones you cancelled? then for 8 years looked for a replacement to only land back in the same place?
Don't blame anyone for scolding JT
Bill Blair is the new minister? Sad.
Sen Dan Sullivan is right, the CAF is crumbling from within with poor equipement and low personnel. It sure doesn't help that the current administration is anti-army and the new defence PM anti-firearm Bill Blair certainly wont help the case. There's a crazy amount of unspent money in the CAF budget and yet everything we have is outdated, the most recent equipement is from 20 years ago.
As a vet we should pay at least 2%
tell that to Azam Ishmael , director of liberals party. makes cent$ now huh.
Russia has a smaller economy than Canada. Our per capita GDP is miles higher, yet Russia has thousands of nukes. They have fleets of nuclear armed submarines, tens of thousands of tanks, fighter jets, bombers and on and on. Canada has around 70 obsolete jets. Where's the money? Where are the incredible taxpayer savings that we should have from not having any of these weapons. We should have billions of dollars in savings, but we have a huge debt.
Why? Because we are over governed, and taxpayers pay for this enormously large government infrastructure.
California with the exact same population as Canada, but with a bigger economy, has 40 million people supporting only 2 governments - the state and the feds. 40 million Canadians financially support 10 provincial, 3 territorial, and 1 federal government. That's why we're broke. This is massive government.
Yep
“Continue” to make Canada a joke
if he says he's giving a wack of cash to Ukraine..why not put some of that towards NATO?
He thinks empty words that have banged to fool Canadians so far will also fool our NATO allies. It is certainly worth a try.
NATO countries have woke leaders. Every single one of them. Trudeau is
a dime a dozen
Too many people listen to words, and not actions. Trudeau has consistently put out poor policy and acted with bad behavior, yet people still vote for him because of his "nice words"
It is not worth a try! He's on on the country's dime :(
Embarrassed that we not pulling our weight anymore
Can Canada's population rise to 100 million by 2040? Like Japan, a population of more than 100 million is essential for self-sustaining survival. Due to friction with China, Canada increases by more than 1 million every year to survive, but there is a shortage. Population growth for survival, ignoring the senators, is also helpful for the United States.
Abolish the monarchy abolish Trudeau become a republic
Trudeau is not fit to lead this country.
BLAH-BE-BLAH-BLAH
Trudeau as joke, sorry USA.
Step up? - Elevator doesn't go to the top floor!
Canada should be capable of defending Canada and not be concerned about being part of NATO so we can defend Latvia, or NORAD so we can defend the US. Time to use our military to secure our own borders
I agree Canada's borders come first
Your military can not even shoot a spy balloon out of the sky without Trudeau calling the US to do it for you. Canada could not attend a recent NATO fighter jet meet because Canadas fighter jets are on blocks needing repairs. Canada is a reliability on NATO. Trudeau has depleted Canadas military and equipment etc. Canada can not even defend itself let alone anyone else. Trudeau is draining your country turning it into a third world dirty country. Canadians are fleeing
Name one country apart of nato who has been attacked by another country?
@@ryanradcliffe9756 proves my point - NATO is a waste of time and money!
his reign of tyranny needs to be ENDED
WE TOO , CANT BELIEVE THIS ! WE TOO , ARE [ NOT IMPRESSED ] ! WE TOO WANT CHANGE NOW !
Personally, Illegal immigrants coming to America from Mexico should be sent to Canada as young and smarter as they are educated and older, and everyone else should get a visa. Afterwards, if they live or work in Canada for more than 3 years, they will be given Canadian citizenship or permanent residency, and the system that automatically gives them a US work visa or permanent residency is an economic win-win system between the United States and Canada.
Participation in nato is becoming less about the defense of nato countries and more about being an extension of US foreign policy. Why are we paying for conflicts initiated by the US?
It's the best defense for all of us. It's why we need deeper cooperation. It's why canda nees to pull It's weight. A bigger commitment means a bigger voice. We have made bad decisions and good decisions as a country. Whose holding us accountable? Our allies need to. It's hard to listen to our allies when they are doing almost nothing.
Im guessing you never heard of Iraq and Vietnam and what countries refused to take part in.
As a Canadian, I'd like to thank the Alaska Senator for calling out Trudeau's incompetent move. I just want to make it clear that many Canadian's, including myself do not support what Trudeau has done and his betrayal towards NATO. I'm getting so sick of Trudeau's bullsh*t.
I’m proud of my country, but very disappointed with the size of our military and our Liberal governments lack of commitment to military spending. 1.29% of GDP. No wonder the world increasingly does not take us seriously. With a combined force of 68, 000 per 2021 Wikipedia estimate, we might be able to defend the Parliament in Ottawa. 😢
You mean to tell Canadians we are 13,475,700, 000 short yhis is unacceptable and should not happen
Climate security ??
What an international embarrassment he is. The CF has never been so unprepared and he’s watering down everything. Thousands of incredibly well trained and dedicated military professionals have quit, since he was elected, for good reason.
Canada's Air force and Navy consists of a Flying Tree Rat and a Canoe. Great Work Justine!
He lied by deduction one billion dollars in canada army budget. How is it better. He should be ashamed of him self.
Pretty soon Canadian soldiers will be wearing skirts into battle.
we are so pathetic now top to bottom we just suck
At the end of the day Canada is and has never met the 2% of GPD defense spending it agreed to. I expect the majority of Canadians would be in favor of meeting this commitment. However, the funding is going to have to come from somewhere. Increase Taxes? Perhaps from cuts to an existing program? Trans Mountain Pipeline? Reconciliation? Homelessness? Dental care? Day care? the environment? etc., etc. Support for defense spending may disappear quickly as it always has. Maybe Trumps USA wont let us away with it this time.
But he gives up to now $8 Billion to the comedian in Ukraine ! ??????
F-35 is a nightmare, then buys F-35. Liberal hypocrisy.
is it a nightmare? That was the view in 2015 maybe, of all things to complain about with Trudeau, this is not one. The conservatives would have been ahead of the game and signed up earlier so we'd have some by now is the difference.
@@Mr.Bassman yes we could have gotten it earlier at a cheaper price had Trudeau not canceled it. Trudeau is to blame. He called it a nightmare in 2015. He is incompetent.
@ouchwitzsummercampllc7877 there is a thing called ejection seats pretty new tech maybe u aren't aware, only been around 60+ years. F35 is the best option for a country like Canada. Only took LPC 6 or so years to figure out that the previous gov was right all along. That purchase would have meant Canada would have lived up to its Nato obligations. Instead we have excuses from the gov.
nightmare to the enemies? yes, the f35 is a great jet now.
@ouchwitzsummercampllc7877 all drowned to what?

All these cognitive dissonance responses are truly sickening . Canada won't be strong armed into spilling our blood for mericas evil intent . Our monies are best spent here at home , WE ARE IN HOMELESS AND DRUG CRISIS ,but yet these so called Canadians want to go other lands , frig soon we will be another Haiti or Nigeria , how broke would you like to be
What about investing some of Canadian taxpayers money in Canada?
Just give all those billions to Ukraine

Canada needs a CSG total cost 85 billion in CAD with inflation including 16 Ships, aircraft, helicopters, vehicles, and weapon system offensive/defensive. 1 Ford Carrier, 4 Destroyers (Arleigh Burke-class Flight III), 2 Costellation frigates, 2 Wasp-class Amphibious Assault Ships, 2 Virginia-class Submarines, 1 Joint Support Ship, 1 Hospital ship Global mercy, 1 Repair and Maintenance Ship, 1 Tug and Salvage Ship, 1 Submarine Tender.
What do we need all that for? Who is invading Canada?
We don’t have money to spend on military spending we had to buy 8 covid shots for every single Canadian citizen first . 👍
Not to mention charity scandals, subsidizing foreign companies, and bug factories.
13 billion coperate charity Volkswagen wagon for electric car battery ev factory not even built. Trudeau spent canadian tax dollars.
He thinks that spending 2 percent of the GDP on the military is a lot. Bruh you have the 9th largest GDP on earth 💀
Bill Blair as the Defense Minister is ridiculous. Does he even have a military background.
I gotta say out of this video in the speech that I saw. Thank you to the American. That put his foot down so Trudeau Would wake up. Supported song country's troops. And are agreement with the world's United Nations. And allies Let's get as military complex rocket We spent enough money on immigrants. Without taking care of our own people. Or are allies? Let's play our socks up. I'd like to say thank you for to the gentleman. Of that new United States party. That laid down the boot. About candidate And said pull your weight. We're not in World War three, we're just in conflicts. And we can't even pull our own weight in conflicts. So that means it worldwide 3 broke out. We'd be b******* and begging Like cowards That the US come to arraid. It's one thing to support a country. That gives they're all. And it's out, numbered and outgunned. But it's another thing for a country to sit on its a** And hope somebody else is going to do something about it. Make North america great again
What about the Canadian Navy we don't have a destroyer we don't have very many frigates and our submarines are as old as my Grand Mother.
Trudeau is incompetent 😊
I hate this guy and what he has done to our military.
Such a massive fall from grace
Canadians did not have to worry about defence cost for a long time. Du to peace agreements with other countries and friendly gestures.
Then some thing happened. Some one made bad deals along the way and unraveled our peace agreements.
Maybe we sold the wrong equipment somewhere. We need to fix and strengthen our peace agreements.
In sort we Canada earned the position to be last to enter a world conflict , we where suppose to sit back train and watch and enter the next Great War last. To save our people and grow our population.
I hate to say this, but you are delusional to think a document with an aggressive nation with a guarantee peace among nations. Look at past history with Neville Chamberlain and Hitler, Stalin and Hitler and many other examples where a document does not ensure peace. A strong military is the greatest assurance of peace in the history of mankind.
What "peace agreements" are you talking about?😂
Fearless leader knows best
Your spending less than required. Protect our north.
CrimeMinister of Corruption, Trait Or True DOPE
We need those resources for CANADIANS
I enjoy lisening to Pierre Poilievre, simply because he makes sense. When Trudope talk, I see someone with erotic interest in oneself and one's physical appearance. We need Pierre Poilievre, ASAP
Agreed, and we need him soon.
You mean when he told people to invest in crypto then it crashed by 60% and yet you think he makes sense? And what kind of sense can you point me to his spending plan related to the military?
Sorry USA. We have the best of the best clown prime minister right now
Time for us to leave nato. The neverending needless conflicts are of no benefit to the average canadian.
How will Canada defend its self ? Trudeau has depleted Canadas military to the point of it can not defend its own country
We are very embarrassed that Trudeau holds the title of Prime Minister of Canada. Believe me, we are doing our best to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Lies lies lies
2% is a minimum it should be more

I agree with the Americans
No idea whats going on
America is cute... spends nearly 1 trillion dollars per year on military and then gets mad at Canada for not spending enough money. How about... stop spending a trillion on global military power.
Our military could barely defend itself or even contribute enough to NATO as is. US is right to call out the Canadian Government since the fault lies on them
America doesn't want Canada spending trillions, it wants it to meet the 2% GDP military budget and that's it. America can't carry the whole alliance defense on it's back. other countries need to put some effort to keep themselves secure.
