Prime Minister Trudeau has returned from his NATO summit with a new plan for Canada to reach its 2% GDP defence spending target, which includes billions of dollars towards buying new subs, modernizing our military and so forth...but how can we afford this...and will it actually come true?
Alex Pierson sits down with the perfect guest for this, Vice-Admiral (Ret'd) Mark Norman who previously served as the Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff for the Canadian Armed Forces. Vice-Admirial Norman and Alex discuss why NATO members are pressuring the Prime Minsiter to increase the spending, and just how quickly this plan can get derailed if another government takes power next election.
