“Every time there’s been a need, Canada stepped up.”, David Jacobson, who told the previous night’s awards banquet that he fears the consequences of what Trudeau reportedly said.

“I still hold on some hope that we’ll hear someone from government say, in fact, we will meet our two per cent , or we will continue to aspire to reach that level of spending.” Jacobson acknowledged a long-standing truth in the politically polarized U.S.: that public support for military missions abroad is fragile, especially when American taxpayers are footing the bulk of the bill.

“But at some point, people are going to say, ‘Well, we’ve got all these freeloaders’ — I hate to use that term — ‘we’ve got all these freeloaders and we’re not going to do it anymore.”’ Turkey was “disappointed” by Canada’s apparent “refusal” to help transport aid after an earthquake earlier this year, while Haiti is “frustrated” by Canada’s reluctance to mount a security mission there, the Post reported.

The “trajectory” of defence spending in Canada has also been gradually improving in recent years, he added.
