Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

I'll believe it when I see it.

Well rumors are now circulating Anand was removed from defense because what she wanted to do was going to be very costly

Join AUKUS cough.

Justin's girlfriend Jacinda has left the building.

 

[dimsum]

Justin's girlfriend Jacinda has left the building in January.

 

[Kirkhill]

Yep. And the AUKUS discussions with the Kiwis started after that.

Some will be willfully blind to the new 4EYs…but non-Nuke position notwithstanding, NZ is clearly taking Canada’s place in the ‘top 4 of the FVEYs’ category.

You could at the very least refer to them as at least having been characters. Blair on the other hand seems have as much personality as cold day old oatmeal.

The man should be retired at this point, he's almost 70, how is there not a retirement age for politicians?

Because that would be discriminatory…honest answer. What would be an acceptable ‘No Older Than’ age?

According to recent studies, cognitive decline starts occurring after 70, so that seems like a valid cut off

Society already discriminates by age. Not advocating one way or another but we already do that to an extent.

Instead of age, why not consider a quantifiable competency test then? Not just taking an easy out by saying XX years.

At age 80 you need a cognitive test is required to drive every two years.

 

[rmc_wannabe]

Honestly, I dont know what we expected from a Trudeau. PET was willing to burn down international agreements and jeopardize our national security at the expense of his own vanity and ambition.

For politicians, the cognitive test should be mandatory after 18…

How about who can fly a Griffon on NoD’s from Petawawa to Ottawa and back.

I say we band together and get FJAG into office

But we like him.

Be pretty hard to top Sam Hughes and Hellyer

I’d put Hellyer at the top. Hughes could only fuck up the Militia, Hellyer was able to fubar the whole enchilada!

 

[torg003]

You can't totally blame Hellyer, he was being told to do it by his alien masters.

 

[ueo]

Yeah maybe we'll get a young forward thinking energized minister who will pull out all the stops to ensure the CAF is well staffed and equipped.....

Huh, who?
