I'm not an expert in anything military, but I would say Canada should focus on the air force and navy. Build up the F-35 fleet, supplemented by many many drones. Completely revamp our naval procurement to stop enriching the Irving's and get some functional ships. For ground forces, I'd probably try to create more reserve forces vs. standing infantry/armor formations. These would be for the off chance we ever get invaded. Canada helping our allies with air/sea power would be a good niche for us in my opinion. Finally, pay our armed forces wages that do not land them in poverty/needing food banks to get by.


This is never going to happen because it would require a pretty massive investment into the military.


EDIT: Trump is an ####### and completely unhinged, but he does have a minor point in most of NATO needing to take a bit more responsibility for their own defense. Canada has had the benefit of relying on the US for way too long.
