Canada’s $150B NATO Deal: What’s the Real Cost?

📝 DESCRIPTION
Canada’s $150B NATO deal is here—and it's about far more than defence.

In a bold pivot, Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged to meet NATO’s new 5% GDP defence spending target, costing taxpayers an astonishing $150 billion every single year. That’s more than what we spend on national healthcare. The justification? Global instability, a decaying “rules-based order,” and the promise of stronger ties with Europe. But Canadians are left asking: is this sacrifice for sovereignty—or a detour from it?

This video breaks down the economic, ethical, and geopolitical stakes of Carney’s defence pledge. With nearly half of Canada’s military gear out of commission, and polling showing 62% of citizens want cuts to public programs to fund this commitment, the question is not whether we can afford it—but whether we can afford what we’ll lose in the process.

What are the long-term implications of shifting our defence alliances from the U.S. to Europe? And why are we anchoring our national identity to foreign strategic goals instead of fortifying domestic priorities?

This isn’t about left vs. right—it’s about whether we’re preserving our autonomy or trading it away in pursuit of someone else’s security blueprint.
