       Carney announced a $9 billion increase in military spending, surpassing NATO's target, despite his previous climate action promises.Carney argued that this spending hike was a reclamation of Canadian sovereignty, but it deepens integration and subjugation to the US empire.Carney's military spending will significantly increase federal government emissions, which are already exempt from national carbon reduction targets.https://springmag.ca/canadas-fossil-fuel-emissions-will-grow-with-new-military-spending#canada #cdnpoli #climatecrisis

       @yogthos he also said 75 cents of every capital dollar spent on defense going to the US isn't smart and wants to deepen defense production ties with Europe, cut him some slack, he's the best we have.

       @mark he's literally going to spend billions on buying F-35s from the US which nobody in Canada needs. Meanwhile, Europe doesn't have a defense industry to speak of.If Carney is the best we have then we are truly fucked.

       @yogthos Hard to say, speculation is that he'll get the ones previously committed to for the NORAD role where US integration is a given, and purchase Gripens or SK fighters for NATO roles. That makes good sense, honestly. We'd be fucked worse with Pierre Derriere, if that makes you feel any better.

       @mark the imbecile already committed Canada to 5% GDP spending for NATO. It's pretty clear that Canada is looking at mass austerity to fund idiotic militarism that this ghoul is championing. Stop trying to carry water for this scumbag.

       @yogthos if Russia would stop being dicks it likely wouldnt be an issue. Or do you believe the Kremlin lies that Ukrainians are a bunch of Nazis?

       @mark no, I believe the former chief of NATO where he explains in plain English that the war was a result of NATO expansion.https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/opinions_218172.htm

       @mark also thanks for letting me know that outlets such as The Hill, The Nation, and The Guardian are spreading Russian propaganda, that's very concerning indeed!https://thehill.com/opinion/5198022-ukraine-conflict-disinformation/https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/neo-nazis-far-right-ukraine/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/10/azov-far-right-fighters-ukraine-neo-nazis
