So shocking, but Trudeau has an obligation to increase military spending by more than 70%. This is just step 1.
I'm guessing General dynamics are going to get some big $.Bombardier is Quebec, I'm sure Trudeau will send them some money to secure them staying in canada.
I wish I could read Trudeau's mind how ideologically fucked he is right now. He certainly understands that he is and suddenly everyone he was actively attacking recently must now go speak with.
How about energy east eh? How you planning to get the oil over the europe? Train? How long until another oil train crashes in quebec?
Including inflation. But look around. Does it look like military spending has increased 70% to you? They gave a bigger budjet to Defense. But Defense can't spend it, because federal beurocracy gets in the way. It took 10 years to select a pistol replacement, and now they are back to square 1 because one of the bidders complained and a judge made a decision. It takes some kind of crisis for anything to get done.
Even with inflation it's a big increase in spending. Under Harper military spending dropped to under 1% of our GDP.
And for new equipment, it will take some time. In Halifax 15 new frigates are being build for $70 billion. 3 out of the 8 arctic patrol ships are now completed. Two new supply ships should be completed next year. Now we will get F35 jets. We are currently in the biggest procurement phase of the CAF since the WW2.

Trudeau just found himself in such a deep hole...
He already increased it by almost 50% since 2015. Harper cut the military budget quite drastically to balance the budget.
