Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

I'll believe it when I see it.

Wow




When an NDP premier tells Justin to step it up - he should rethink his own CoAs.

Wab has stuck his opinions in where very few Manitoba premiers would and I am mildly surprised he has weighed in on this. I don't think I have actually heard a premier from MB tell this to a PM.
The only time the CAF in MB matters to most politicians is around election time.

What about during Winnipeg flood time ?

The provincial and territorial leaders also recognize that accelerating the target means money into their provinces, which means jobs, and growth. They also are fearful of trade implications. I have stated before, there is a lot of infrastructure we could build to hit 2% very quickly. Average cost to actually build a home in Canada according to a quick google search is $370k for 2,000 sq ft. So to build the 6000 units the CAF needs we need a average of $2.22 Billion.
