    Traditionally about 70% of canadian defence spend went to america. Apparently now it will be zero and canadian industry will fill the gap. Canada has also reduced america to a tier3 supplier meaning they are on par with north korea. So no american businesses will be allowed to buy canadian firms without a 12 to 18 month security review that includes national security. american threats to Canada now put them in same security threat category as north korea, russia etc.

      Are you sure about that? I couldn’t find any sources stating that the US has formally been reduced to tier 3.

      Wtf? We’re a way bigger threat to Canada than some places on the other side of an ocean with a tenth of our military budget!
