We can do it by stopping giving our money away to other countries. Spend it on Canadian projects where it belongs.

Did the premiers clarify to spend more on the Canadian Military and not Ukraine ?

[Cuz.im.batman]

How are we going to pay for it? More taxes? Canadian tax payers money needs to stay in canada!

[markhanson]

He is spending more on military, it just happens to be the Ukraine military

[DavidHeary-tzrg]

The Premiers should be asking him to resign

Mind blowing that what unites premiers in Canada is Militarism.

[johngamerschlag]

The premiers should mind their own provincial jurisdictions and remember they have NO RIGHT to tell the federal government what to do. Maybe the politicians pensions should given to the cause?

[De_facto]

So they’re suggesting Canada (Liberals) do what it’s suppose to have been doing for the last 9 years.

I assume this is why Justin gave a speech at NATO to an empty room.

Canada has spoken
Get lost Trudeau ...
GO AWAY

[ScotchOnyx]

How do I, a Canadian Citizen paying taxes increase my military spending to protect myself from Trudeau?

[gayle]

where is all this money supposed to come from, , trudeau has already given trillions away, ...Im very sure with huge kickbacks

[JessT-vgib]

The Premiers are confusing. They were pissed because Trudeau was spending to much money...knw they're pissed because he's not spending enough.

Forget about housing and healthcare. The money-laundering schemes of the military industrial complex must be fed.

[clydemifflin]

But we can't, we spent too much on parade protection, useless Covid apps, a condo in NY, trips, consultants, ...

[linhluong]

Oh it's about time he's thinking about Canada! What a hypocrite for a PM only thinks about himself and Ukraine, not Canadians! WE want him out!

[benfranklin]

We have more important priorities such as help its cituzens with the cost of living crises

[Finness]

"spend more on military by premiers" Wonder what's IN IT for the premiers ? ! ? There HAS to be something !

[ScotchOnyx]

Why are we always scared of America? Why ?

[North-of-the-th]

Pierre Poliviere needs to respect the Canadian Armed Forces as well and fund our desperately needed (financially strapped) military. Whoever does this gets our votes!

[kevinzcy]

Having the funding is only one part of the solution. We also have to use that money efficiently to get proper results. Reforms in procurement may be necessary.
