    Edit: The article posted is a biased hackjob by idiots pushing an agenda.

    “Elite media” Uh, what? This is Canada, we don’t have that here.

    But once the Liberals won a minority government, they pledged to up it to a whopping five per cent by 2035,

    NATO was in discussions for raising target spending long before the Liberal minority government. It was being pushed for since Russia invaded Ukraine. It was only finalized by NATO members at the June 2025 NATO summit in the Hague.

      Carney didn’t run on a 5% target. That’s the point of calling it out.

      It’s not like the already-governing Liberals wouldn’t have known about quiet NATO discussions before the election, so this criticism of the article makes zero sense.

          The pivot was immediate, let’s not rewrite history just because of some personal distaste for criticism of dear leader

              You’re the one telling people that the public has no right to question an immediate pivot to spending +$150 Billion/year on warmongering and then telling someone else they’re pushing disinfo?

              Go on then, tell me what specifically you’re referring to. This oughta be fun
