I’m actually in favour of increasing our military spending, mostly because I anticipate the US deciding at some to point to switch to military means to annex us if their economic measure aren’t successful.
What worries me is how much of this new spending is going to be directed right to the hostile country that’s threatening us.
We should be lessening our dependence on the US militarily just much as we should be should be lessening our dependence on them economically.

Mark Carney promised to increase military spending to two per cent of GDP, and he does so in his first budget. The cost to nearly everything else government does is considerable. https://rabble.rabble.ca (Mastodon)
