We should focus on our own country more and work on deccommodifying housing and food here.

No Helmets, Wrong Color Camo, Can't Afford Gas... Bullets Don't Fit The Weapons ... Great Job Canada 👍

Is Justin going to send food and helmets to the troops this time. Do they have to provide their own?

[photobygary]

Let's hope that this time, the troops being sent all have helmets and field kitchens.

He’s screwed EVERYTHING up. Such an embarrassment.

This commitment means more Canadians will be struggling even worse than they already are.

What the hell is Canada doing in Latvia ... protecting national interests?

Meanwhile CAF inside of Canada uses Canadian Tire generators which we carry with the issued generators that are always broken or missing parts.

Will they have adequate supplies for our troops or will they have to borrow equipment from our allies?

[smeefamily]

trudeau's son should be old enough now to join the forces. If he goes to Latvia then the troops would get all kinds of new kit. It would be just like Christmas.

[Bobkanada]

Yes Canada! Let’s send more of our troops with poor equipment! Our military well equipped to face the present and futur threats??? We need a very serious reflection in Canada. We send them, we spend the necessary funds to protect them properly. We provide them with the best possible equipment. No shortcuts here.

[marytaweel]

Maybe Canada needs to step up to the plate for CANADA! WE HAVE SOOOO MANY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED

[bufford]

Has Trudeau been able to find any Canadian F18's flight worthy yet?

[Rtr]

Those officers, NCOs and enlisted deserve a medal for resisting the urge to punch him in the face.

[glennhankins]

Trudeau needs to stop prolonging this conflict.

[yvszbsu]

As Canadian we need food and jobs. We eat once a day and got no rent

[KeystoneCapper]

Send troops rather than pursuing peace. Smh....

[untrusting]

Great idea. Let's send more troops with no adequate equipment and no food. Maybe everyone can send care packages so they don't starve.

[andrewthompson]

I wonder if those troops will also need to purchase equipment with their own money.
