Canada's army needs to improve its artillery and long range anti air capabilities.

Questions:
- Why won't nuclear subs ever happen? Cost/crew/harbour requirements?
- Why can't the F18s/F35s take care of pounding ground targets and intercepting aircraft? (What role do artillery/long-range AA serve?)
