Canada to increase its defenses amid the growing threat posed by China, Russia, and US. Canada plans to sign military, security and defense contracts with the EU and to purchase a fleet of submarines, aircraft and tanks to strengthen the military. France is also eyeing Canada for the European army.

If Canada is smart they'd spend less on the traditional military equipment and more on drone tech.

And then more drone tech.
