The Prime Minister said that, as a middle power, Canada understands how important it is to protect the rules-based international order

Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opposed any deal letting Russia keep Ukrainian land, saying it would encourage other countries to break international rules.

Speaking to a NATO meeting, he highlighted Canada’s $19.5 billion aid to Ukraine and stressed the need to defend global stability.

Trudeau defended his plan to raise military spending to 2% of GDP by 2032 after criticism of Canada’s low defense funding.

He warned against isolating Ukraine, saying continued support is crucial to stop further global conflicts.

    Trudeau is spot on and Canada should ask the Blue States if they would like to be annexed.

      Yeah sure, it will go like this:
      2025 - blue states join Canada
      2026 - red states aka the remainder of the USA face growing unrest as their funding handouts are cut off
      2026 - tech companies in the province of Canifornia stop sharing new tech breakthroughs with USA due to posturings by their increasingly expanding military industrial complex and proposed weapon developments
      2027 - huge skills drain in USA as health professionals and remaining scientists flee to Canada
      2028 - Gilead starts amassing troops and staging ‘special military exercises’ on their border with Canada

      The population of Canada has only recently surpassed the population of California. Annexing the blue states would be a big meal for Canada to digest
