Prime Minister Carney announced Canada is increasing its spending on defence to meet the 2% GDP commitment by March 2026
There will be a separate defence procurement office to speed up the contracts
It will also create jobs in Canada

PM Mark Carney did say in an interview that he wanted to have a Canadian supply chain and manufacturing agreement because we usually sent .75 per dollar of our defence spend to the States, which he doesn't want to do anymore
I hope he understands what Canadians want

Canada got screwed by it’s government of the day b/c US interests were seen as more important
It is so time we break away
US influence on our economy needs to STOP, which is why Carney’s plan of Canadian built is so important
It's not fair to our troops to not equip them properly even for peacekeeping.
Cons talk big about defence & then do the opposite just as they do with every other election slogan.
I’ve learned a lot over the last few months about the Liberal record
I still don’t like most of Justin’s policies, I did like & vote for Chretien & Martin back in the day though
Canada needs to spend money on defence - Trump has his eyes on our country... just kidding
America will remain an ally of Canada but we do need to be prepared.
We can't trust him.
NO TO THE GOLDEN DOME
However, there will need to be some type of agreement because we share a continent. What do you think about our future with the US?
How much can we move away from the US?

I'm looking for fact based information.
He said it would take years to get to that level of spending
Wonder what changed his mind and opened the purse strings
The world might be more volatile than I think, or he discovered how a decade of being under funded resulted in not being equipped to defend ourselves
Carney's new plan is much better.
Hope Cons don't scuttle it as they did our fighter jet & subs.
I guess we will see - But if they do vote against it, Poilievre will have fun in his by-election explaining why one of his promises was voted down
