Where is this coming from? The Liberals passed 80 billion in extra defence spending, over the objections of the Conservatives who unanimously voted against it. Like, if you're mad about the army not getting enough money, hi, I'm right there with you. I live in army housing, my wife's health and wellbeing literally depend on her getting modernized equipment that's in good repair. But why, of all people, are you specifically going after Trudeau on this?

Also, why the hate on legal weed for that matter? Do you have any idea how much weed soldiers smoke? Hint: Its a LOT.

I'm not against weed at all, nor improving the deteriorating state of our Army and the infrastructure that military personnel need.

I thought it would be funny to suggest that Trudeau spent the entire 0.6% shortfall of Canada's GDP to meet the NATO target on a singular weed vape (and that somehow he would be handed this amount of money to buy military equipment from somewhere where he instead buys an unfathomably expensive vape), but apparently it was interpreted as a slight against him. I apologize for causing this confusion.
