Canada should follow Switzerlands lead. Actually even better Canada should move most its small budget into tech and we should be leaders in defensive drone technology.

Getting ready since we're already in WWIII

they could use 3-man drones to transport people to get medical services in the nations that require military or police, fire, or EMS services. It's time to think outside of the box.

The Russia-Ukraine war has taught us that the Cold War wasn't over, it was simply hibernating.

TWO tiny C130 Hercules - that’s it? And you’re making a bigger deal out of that? The US is using massive C17 and C5 around the clock 24/7 from Dover…give me a break. Two C130 is not much better than Luxembourg…sit down for gods sake.

Canada needs to get the Military up to the minimum NATO target agreements.

The people who got the supplies would differ with you ...see getting a clip of ammo Wednesday is no good if you need it on Tuesday

Canada should look after their own citizens first.

Fix our own problems and don't enter profit wars!

Those planes, called Hercules, are really old. I'm surprised they're still working.
They're the biggest planes for cargo that Canada has.

Ukraine has lost this war. It's way too late. Spending money we don't have.

[PhamVans]

I ain't Canadian, even if my paperwork says it.

I don't support US proxy wars, sorry.
