Показать описание
In an interview on this week's edition of "The West Block," Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre said he isn't clear where the money to implement promised upgrades to NORAD continental defence systems is coming from. Defence Minister Anita Anand had said a promised $4.9-billion upgrade would come from new money, before correcting that the money was part of $8 billion in new spending promised in the last federal budget.

Plus, in an interview with our host, former Conservative Senate leader Marjory LeBreton said that Conservative leadership candidates jumping on the “grievance brigade” is doing a “disservice” not only to the party but to the country. LeBreton – who served as a spokesperson for Stephen Harper and later his right hand in the Senate during the Senate expense scandal – said she fears the party may not be able to hold together.

Being a former soldier in the 80s and 90s I watched the Liberal party decimate funding for the military. I’m ashamed the way our government treats its soldiers.

The way these crime minister's treated the veteran's when Canadian's were standing up for their rights speaks for itself! NO CONFiDENCE VOTE! Good-bye!

Some people still feel that women should not fight in combat.

LeBreton is 100% right. The Conservative Party needs an electable candidate for the country not just specific parts of the party. I was a Poilievre fan before he turned so abrasive and ultra right wing. I liked his economic views and his disdain for the corruption in the Liberal party. Now I feel his appeal to moderate conservatives and potential conservative voters is deteriorating beyond repair. Please Mr. Poilievre, be a candidate Canadians can vote for in the next election..even those who are not members of the Conservative party because we need more than the party base to beat the Liberals.

Illegal blockades just like asking for a mental health examination for further processing a persons firearms license, can not be conducted without fully violating a persons constitutional rights.

Wow. Senator LeBreton resigned from his riding Board over the convoy. That's huge.

A key to educating your children
is to respect them as exemplary people,
rather than see them as inferior individuals.

Canadian military will be expected by the pundits, academia and Liberal insiders to advance Liberal policies same as the RCMP.

Respectfully, what do we have that will detect and intercept hypersonic missiles? How much will be spent on fallout shelters? What technologies are FN putting forward that is so unique as to sole source them these contracts? Will any of the products be made in Canada 100 percent?

What our military wants, needs and can live with are often different questions. Might be cdn focus on too much what we can live with often gets the three questions wrong.

The subjects covered on this episode I believe are the 2 most important issues facing Canada, Defense & Democracy... Certain Anti-democratic, destructive forces & influences from our good neighbour haven't helped... They're still great neighbours... No Democracy is perfect... When Good people get involved Good things happen. I pray for that in both Countries regularly... Zelensky & Liz Cheney et. al. understand this.... Congratulations to them for the Kennedy Center Honours today.... 🇨🇦🇺🇸💓🙏
