There was a Toronto Star opinion piece by Rosie DiManno titled: "On the NATO scorecard, Donald Trump wins — and our budget loses". It's paywall, but the title says it all.
The article mentions that Trump was upset with Spain [1]. It seems the socialist Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, said the 5% target was "unreasonable" and "counterproductive" [2].
I'm currently having a drink of Spanish wine to celebrate. That someone told Trump (politely) to basically go fuck himself is wonderful.
Of course, cowardly Carney was busy caressing the mighty Orange One.
Alas, given that Jagmeet Singh, NDP candidate for prime minister, rightly said he'd not even invite Trump to the G7 [3], I know we could have counted on him to stand up to Trump. I imagine he and Sanchez would now have been having a laugh together.
Instead, we're stuck with the absolutely wimpy Trump-ass-kisser Carney. God, I hope Canadians wake up someday.
