Canada Crosses UNFORGIVABLE Line... Trumps Retaliation Will Be Merciless!

Mark Carney and the Liberals have

crossed a line and I think the blowback

is going to be pretty severe. One of the

White House trade advisers said that

Mark Carney specifically is a problem.

So this is not looking good, especially

now that Mark Carney has been caught

lying about his NATO spending. Seems

like he might be getting a little

creative with the numbers. That's not

the only thing that he is lying about.

He got caught lying about some of the

projects that he is taking credit for

that he did not do. Also, with his

corruption on full display, he is

handing out even more projects to his

insiders while denying projects that

would build our relationship with the

United States. And this is against all

of the industry warnings, some of it

really dire. In addition, there were

some other global politicians who trying

to work with Mark Carney might have

blown back on them as well. Seems like

they might be losing their career. Mark

Carney couldn't stop there. He had to

try and say Canada's doing better than

the US yet again. and that's the only

way Canada can win. Of course, there's

honestly a lot to talk about in today's

video. So, let's get into it. All right,

so there were a ton of developments

today, and one of the things that the

government's been trying to take its

victory lap on is the NATO spending,

like I mentioned, but we have been

getting called out by the US, by Trump,

and even our NATO allies, which they did

mention in this clip here. But it's

funny that they're stacking it as such a

win, and then we find out they're

cooking the numbers. NATO says Canada

finally met a key commitment by spending

roughly 2% of its GDP on defense in the

last fiscal year. A goal set back in

2014. Christian Lyra, professor of

>> 2014 will be a trend in this video

because this isn't the only thing that

Canada had committed to back in 2014

that we're just getting in 2026.

Hilarious that it took 12 years and not

only 12 years, pressure from Trump,

pressure from NATO all over the world

and we finally are. and they still only

do it by cooking the numbers

>> of political science at the Royal

Military at Queens University joins us

for this update and it's important.

Thanks so much for joining us,

Professor.

>> My pleasure. Hello.

>> How significant is it that we now meet

NATO's benchmark and what does this

mean?

>> Well, 2% has always been an arbitrary

benchmark. Politician pick it because

it's a nice sort of number and gets

everybody in a common denominator. But

of course if Canada spends 2% of GDP or

say Latvia spends 2% of GDP it's going

to give you very different effects. And

of course Latafia is spending 5% of GDP.

Um but at least sort of it brings

everybody

>> look you know if they spend different

amounts it's going to have different

effects of course but they are spending

way more than us up to sort of a common

standard and as you point out the

government will tell you they're ahead

of schedule meeting 2% uh but as your

intro pointed out we agreed to this in

2014 um and we dragged our feet for a

decade. Uh so but you know it now puts

at least Canada sort of in the same sort

of position as almost all other NATO

member countries at at least meeting the

minimum politically agreed upon

benchmark. There we go. Huge win for

Canada. Hitting the minimum. That's what

we need in Canada. Big win. Keep in mind

this is getting created around as a huge

win that we've hit just the bare minimum

and we're still getting called out for

it because it's nonsense. Many would

argue that Canada has actually lined be

uh lagged behind NATO's 2% target for

years. Something that they've actually

faced crit criticism for from allies.

First off, why did it take the country a

little bit longer? And what image has it

kind of given Canada?

>> Yeah, I mean it's come at serious

reputational cost, right? that Canada

was always, you know, I think of NATO as

like a six-packs at the beer store and

you don't all like like all flavors

equally and Canada was always a very

well-liked flavor and Canada increasing

got excluded uh from key decisions and

key sort of meetings uh because we

didn't have capabilities and if you

don't have capabilities then you can't

make commitments.

>> That's a great global reputation to have

like just leave Canada out of it. They

are the gross beer that we don't want to

deal with. Uh so this is very important

at a time of course when our sovereignty

is under duress because being part of

these key decisions is a way of

asserting our interests not just our

defense interests but our political and

our economic interests and it's

leveraging our European partners to

counterbalance the vagaries of US

unilateralism. So

>> of course the NATO spending is just

looped back to being anti-American

spending once again as a Canadian. Thank

you, Donald Trump. Because the only

reason we're hitting the bare minimum is

because we need to protect our

sovereignty from the vagaries of Donald

Trump.

>> This is not just an investment in

defense. This is very much an investment

in Canadian sovereignty and asserting

Canadian political sovereignty um in a

way that Canada is within the G7 and

within NATO a very significant country

in terms of sort of the top halfozen

countries with headquarters capabilities

and Canada always been known for being

able to do being able to make

commitments and doing those things on

its own with the capabilities it had. Um

and so um you know it's probably

>> what is this World War I? When is the

last time we were known for that?

>> We're going to take us a good 15 years

to rebuild um where the Canadian Armed

Forces needs to be. So, we can hope that

this is not just a one or two year sort

of flash in the pan, but rather a

long-standing commitment to rebuilding

Canada's single most important

instrument of statecraft.

>> This is what I wanted to keep in there

because it's so funny. We are pretending

like the US is the threat to the

sovereignty that we need to really stand

up and protect ourselves. And here the

military specialists are saying we're 15

years behind having any sort of

meaningful military, any sort of

operational capacity, anything like

that. So once again, thanks America for

having an army so Canada can pretend

that we have one when we don't. And

that's why this was also very funny

because they were finding out that hm

maybe this NATO spending was a little

bit uh you know creative with the

accounting what they've actually been

spending on especially because it

actually didn't have any impact to the

actual capacity of uh the operations and

what we can do in Canada. That's why he

said I hope this isn't a flash in the

pan. We need 15 years. Ottawa, they are

officially responding to the news today

that NATO's defense spending target for

this country of 2% has been hit. So,

let's listen.

>> Morning. Uh, today we want to respond to

Mark Carney's announcement that uh

Canada's hit the NATO 2% spending

target, but that doesn't mean that

Canada's any stronger.

as we know that uh all this increased

defense spending that he's uh bragging

about today is actually an illusion. We

know that through creative accounting

that uh government spending in national

defense has increased by over10 billion.

I love that the best we can get from

them is just fake announcements. And

you'll see once we get to his project

stuff, especially when we get to the
