    Wow, these Canadians are really bad people.

    VILNIUS, Lithuania -

    NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has made no secret of the fact that he wants more from member nations at this year's leaders' summit.

    Exactly how much more is still a matter for discussion, but the 31 states with NATO membership are expected to make a more ambitious pledge than they have to date.

    The agreed-upon target has been for each country to spend about two per cent of its GDP on defence.

    Canada has agreed to the target but has not revealed a plan to reach it, with current spending sitting just shy of 1.3 per cent and political leaders including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Defence Minister Anita Anand shrugging off suggestions Canadians are not pulling their weight.

    Canada set its forests on fire, the entire country all at once. Satellite photo of 60 large fires flaring at the same time.
    NATO is a joke and so is Biden's military.

    Amazing really how uneducated and ignorant some of these Americans are. That "Fortune Teller" fool might be a Duggar :). What's the use of bragging about your country when you came out of the education system so stupid, unskilled, and believing in so much garbage ?

    Ignorance is bliss for some.

    I raised my children in Canada instead of the United States because I made a decision many years ago that I was no longer going to be ignorant about the escalating problems in the United States: violent crime, ignorance about climate change, declining education system public & private, a growing number of homegrown terrorists, the decline in health care affordability, member of the nuclear club that has > 14,000 nuclear warheads, stupidity about immigrants while the U.S. has more deaths than births...puts more burden on taxpayers and increases chances of inflation/recession, the dysfunctionality of our political system and poor treatment of the indigenous population.

    Canada still ranks as a top 5 country (rank #5) for raising a family especially if protecting children is tops on your list. In comparison, the United States has a global ranking of #23 for raising a family

    Simply, too much finger-pointing in the United States for political reasons versus other countries in the world that are actually protecting families and their lifestyles. Therefore, I immigrated to Canada as a proud U.S. veteran while having access to superior social benefits in Canada.

    On top of the above...

    Canadians live longer than Americans. High life expectancy in Canada is correlated, in part, with education. According to the OECD, Canada's population is the most educated in the world...as in less ignorance. :cool:

    Technology is good here too considering Canada is sending all that smoke across the border to the United States instead Canadians developing health problems related to breathing that smoke.
