Justin Trudeau just spent days attending the NATO conference making sweeping statements about Canada's commitment to the Alliance. These have been met with eye-rolling and criticism of Canada's meagre commitment to defence-spending. Editorial comment by the Wall Street Journal: 'Canada is a Military Free Rider in NATO.' - John Ivison, NP, "Our NATO allies have little patience left for Trudeau's freeloading."   Why the criticism? Canada's military stands at just below 63k members with antiquated and out of commission weapons and weapons systems. Canada's soldiers on a training mission for the Ukraine military in Poland were told by DND to eat at restaurants. They have though not been reimbursed for their meal expenses. - An additional 700 members of the CAF in Latvia have been buying their own ballistic helmets, rain gear, as well as vests and belts to carry water and ammunition. The Canadian battle group commander describes the situation as "concerning, verging on embarrassing."   Guest: Vice-Admiral Mark Nor
