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.
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate you asking about this!

That’s not a source, and I couldn’t find one either.
Maybe the tier3 bit is confidential. My cousin is in defence procurement. Here is a source https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/17/canada-defense-reduce-us-dependency-00784190
As we should.
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!
