"Time for America to stop being the whipping boy of other nations who use big government to harm America, including and especially Canada."
Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft, how many military bases? In how many countries? Some of you folks are seriously detached from reality. We've adopted the N Korean approach; throw all your resources into the military and a small group of ruling elites, starve out your soceital/social fabric, and lock down the people.
All of these military bases are for whose benefit? You act as if America is attacking every nation on earth. They are there to defend allies and keep the peace, while so many countries don't even pay their NATO dues!
A particular PM; I won't say who, recently was over in Germany and said that paying less than 1% of GDP to NATO defense was acceptable, because we do other things to help....right.
If it is climate change, oh Lord, we better push hard and harder to meet that goal even if it bankrupts citizens. Check out Ontario and hydro costs to see what's up, 20% of citizens there are 3 months or more behind their heating bill...nice eh? We are paying a "global adjustment fee", lol. $315B of debt for 13M people and this s the end result.
We do it for our own benefit; or rather that of US corporate interests. We are still engaged in economic colonialism.
