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.

I like your thoughts but you can't ignore the army.

Planes/Ships/Drones might win land but Infantry is needed to hold the land.

If Canada is to meet it's Treaty Obligations it needs a well trained & equipped land force capable to rapid deployment both nationally & internationally.
