Canada’s foreign minister said Tuesday that the country must spend more on its military now that the U.S. is questioning its role of global leadership.
Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland told Parliament that relying on the “the U.S. security umbrella would make us a client state.”
She said Canada is committed to make a “substantial investment” in its military and said the defense minister would elaborate on that Wednesday.
Freeland said Canadians will always be grateful for the outsized role the U.S. has played in the world and Canada will seek to persuade Washington that its continued leadership is in the interest of the U.S. and the free world.
She didn’t mention President Donald Trump by name, but reiterated Canada’s disappointment in Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. …

They’re doing it without Trump telling them to. Genius!
Leadership to them means we continue to spend more than our share on NATO while they remain slackers.
But look at the excuse they’re using.
And no, they won’t protect us like we protected them.
From the article.....Canada’s foreign minister said Tuesday that the country must spend more on its military now that the U.S. is questioning its role of global leadership....... that relying on the “the U.S. security umbrella would make us a client state.”.....
LOLOL....they don’t want to pay either.....
B-o-o. H-o-o. Countries are actually having to get off their hineys and do some things for themselves.
No more handy-holdy from the good ol’ U.S. of A. We’re taking off your training wheels, babies!!!! Crash; don’t crash. We don’t give a crap anymore!!!!
WOW, talk about cognitive dissonance! green passivism and military preparedness/leadership are diametrically opposed. Ol’ Chrystia is a maroon.
She said.....”Canada will seek to persuade Washington that its continued leadership is in the interest of the U.S. and the free world.”......
She’s too blind to see that Trumps assumed that leadership already....he’s just not doing things their way....no more free rides! You pay or we keep our money right here in the good ol USA for US citizens and the affairs of our own country...
For the first time in 28 years, the world is seeing US leadership. I guess it is a shock to the commie genetic dead-ends of the western world.
“They’re doing it without Trump telling them to. Genius!”
I have to agree. Hehehe
Its a joy to behold.
Not tired of winning yet.
Exactly, and they want to remain slackers, so quite naturally, they are disappointed. May the bird of paradise fly up their nose.
They actually don’t want to “remain slackers”. They want to bleed the US dry and then go after the corpse. The left has always wanted this.
oh they are takign the lead alright
“New law allows government to take children away if parents don’t accept kids’ ‘gender identity’
New law allows government to take children away if parents don’t accept kids’ ‘gender identity’ “
It’s hard to spin this any other way than: Winning.
But I’m certain the MSM will find a way to do so.
“She didn’t mention President Donald Trump by name, but reiterated Canada’s disappointment in Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. …”
Trump pulls out of Paris prompting Canada to pay more for its own defense.
Trump is a GENIUS!!
Bizzarro World! Obama abdicates US global leadership, Trump proposes a budget to start rebuilding more the military, and we are accused of “waning” leadership. Where were these claims under Opoofter?
Exactly.
HAHAHA...Leadership is establishing the direction of a movement and impelling action. Seems like Mr Trump is doing that worldwide.
Screw ‘em. I’m done. Won’t have a kid to die for their @$$e$ and insane, stupid decisions of “appeasement”. Their blood....their treasure. Period.
