The Pentagon said Monday it will pause participation in the Permanent Joint Board on Defense, the principal strategic forum for Canada-U.S. defense cooperation, after accusing Canada of failing to contribute enough to its own defense.
Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby announced the pause on social media, indicating that divisive rhetoric from Canadian officials prompted the U.S. to reassess its strategic partnerships.
“A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments,” Mr. Colby posted on X. “Delivering on shared continental defense begins by recognizing our shared geography. Only by investing in our own defense capabilities will Americans and Canadians be safe, secure, and prosperous.”

Canada is the ultimate spoiled child. They throw tantrums and rail against their parent (USA); while all the time enjoying the benefits of their parents protection.
Carney hates the US he was on the board of World Enslavement Forum . Carney also has 3 passports Canada , UK and Ireland he thinks he’s European
He wants Canada to join the EU.
Which makes as much sense as hitting yourself in the head with a hammer because it feels so good when you stop.
China already owns Canada
Yep. Spoiled children. This may be an AI creation. If so, fake but accurate.
This is decades overdue, frankly.
But the real change will be expel from 5 Eyes, NATO, NORAD, end officer exchanges. And ban from procurement of top level weapons as a chinese infiltrated security risk.
canada spending that money instead on 3rd world immigrants
