Since you appear to be a Canadian, I am wondering how you feel about your government’s lack of adequate funding support for NATO? Only four of the 27 members pay less than does Canada. And FYI, of the more than $900 billion NATO annual budget, America pays more than $650 billion! I don’t know how you can live with being such a freeloader country! Only Spain, Slovenia, Belgium and Luxembourg are worse than Canada. Must be nice to be able to fund your Socialist government with our money!
Frankly, I think it’s disgusting. I have used that example numerous times over the years. Some Canadians up here are often blabbing about our social programs, our maintenance of roads, public space, etc., but in the past I have reminded them that we live under the American umbrella protecting us. This frees up a lot of money to pay for the frills. In short, I agree with you. I wish we would put on our big boy pants and start acting like an adult country.
Having said that, forget about it happening with the foo foo boy we have now. President Trump should demand fair and reasonable payment from us. I would support that.
