Mark Carney pledges to double Justin Trudeau's spending

💰 In 2024/25, the federal government alone spent a record $53.8B on debt interest — more than the $52.1B it paid to the Canada Health Transfer

Canada’s public debt is increasing so quickly that it is now costing $2,000 per Canadian, per year just to cover the interest charges pic.twitter.com/6x0BhWpQ61

CBC is reporting that "Carney says Canada will meet 2% NATO spending target by March. $9.3B in new spending includes military recruitment, pay increases for personnel."

It's interesting to see how the mainstream media is misrepresenting this. 2% doesn't sound like much. $2 of what? 2% of Canada's GDP. That is huge and it doesn't stop there. 

APTN News is reporting that "Rutte’s proposal is to hike spending to 3.5 per cent of annual GDP on core defence needs — like jets and other weapons — and another 1.5 per cent on defence-adjacent areas like infrastructure, cybersecurity and industry." That all sounds fine and dandy but it's not.

There's a big difference between spending on National defense and NATO spending. Trump has been pushing other countries to cough up more money for their operations. Sadly, NATO expansion has become bad like the UN. NATO expansion caused the war in the Ukraine which has seen billions of tax dollars laundered through war profiteering. 

At first we have conservatives rightly complain the Carney spends far too much money that leads to uncontrolled debt and mass inflation. That is true. Now all of a sudden Carney makes it sound like he's spending the money on Canada's national defense and he want conservatives to jump on board with mass spending like the Democrats do in the US. 

NATO has become bad. This is like saying we're going to double and more than triple spending on the UN and the WHO. It starts at 2% and quickly jumps to 5%. This is all money we don't have pushing us further and further in debt until the interest on that debt enslaves us. He's pledged an additional $2 billion for Drones in the Ukraine. How much of that $2 billion is going to be spent on drones and how much is going to get laundered through FTX and end up in oligarchs pockets?

Although Pierre Poilievre likes to complain about everything Carney does so he can promote himself, he's probably not going to complain about the massive increase in NATO spending. War profiteering is good or is it?

Uncontrolled spending is bad. This kind of debt will not liberate us, it will enslave us. Stephen Harper was a globalist that supported the World Economic Forum just like Tim Houston in Nova Scotia. Neither support freedom or fiscal responsibility. 

When Thomas Mulcair was the leader of the federal NDP and ran against Justin Trudeau and Stephen Harper, he was the ONLY candidate that supported a balanced budget. Stephen Harper did not. Justin Trudeau was the complete opposite. He defiantly promised to spend his children's inheritance which he did. When Canadians saw how that resulted in mass inflation and the rise in the cost of groceries and gas, they finally realized that uncontrolled spending is not a good idea. 

Stephen Harper is a bad man just like Tim Houston. Blind allegiance to anyone is blind. Not all conservatives are the same. In fact not all conservatives are conservatives. Fiscal responsibility matters. A lot. Our future depends on it.
