Rusty Shackleford Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Anyone else annoyed with the BC United commercials? "$100 worth of groceries" and he's got 5 things in the fridge. Do they really think we're that stupid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 This was posted in the US Politics thread by @Optimist Prime but it has relevance here: Trump says he would encourage Russia to ‘do whatever the hell they want’ to any NATO country that doesn’t pay enough https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/10/politics/trump-russia-nato/index.html What should Canada do about its defense budget? We are members of NATO. Part of the agreement is that we'll spend 2% of our GDP on the military. And we're not. Here's an article on what it would cost us to honour our commitment: Canada pledged to spend 2% of GDP on its military. Would that transform it? Is it affordable? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/gdp-nato-military-spending-canada-1.6912028#:~:text=How defence spending stacks up&text=According to figures from NATO,extra %2420 billion in spending. From the article: According to figures from NATO, the budget for the Canadian military in 2023 is $36.7 billion or 1.29 per cent of GDP. Adding 0.7 seven percentage points to reach the two per cent mark this year would mean an extra $20 billion in spending. And that would come as Canada already faces a $40-billion deficit. An extra 20 billion dollars!!! Each year! How do you work that into our budget? And yet, if we don't, what does that say about our respect or commitment to treaties that we sign? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fix all our problems now!! Good to know I'm not the only one who thought it was pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian government spending in 2023 was $496 billion. We will spend more on interest to service the debt than the military budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or wait, there is going back if PP is elected? so its not broken? fuck I'm confused. yea he's a simp. Its just such as stupid messaging tack on everything. But I am starting to wonder if maybe Poutine peaked a little early? people might be getting tired of him and not hearing it as much as before.
