Poilievre won’t commit to NATO 2% target, says he’s ‘inheriting a dumpster fire’ budget balance

‘I make promises that I can keep and right now we are, our country, is broke,’ Conservative leader says

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he won’t commit to meeting the two per cent NATO defence spending target if he becomes prime minister.

“I make promises that I can keep and right now we are, our country, is broke,” Poilievre said. “I’m inheriting a dumpster fire when it comes to the budget.

“Every time I make a financial commitment, I’m going to make sure I’ve pulled out my calculator and done all the math. People are sick and tired of politicians just announcing that they’re going to spend money without figuring out how they’re going to pay for it.”

He’s ahead of the story. Justin is going to pile on the debt between now and his political death to fiscally tie Poilievre’s hands.
