This is the same rubbish that is published in Europe and elsewhere. The most obvious issue with this article is that it doesn’t even mention the rising threats by countries like Russia and China (Russia is spending around 8-10% of its GPD, or 40% of its public budget, for military. Numbers for China are hard to guess as the official data is not very reliable).
You can’t publish such an opinion without even mentioning the rising threats.
“To make sense, defence spending has to be linked to needs, not GDP.”
Canada has also been threatened to be annexed by its neighbour with a particularly notorious military. Even if its just dementia riddled ramblings, Canada should be becoming more defense independent.
Exactly. We do need more defense spending but it should be a domestic drone industry and a civil defense program, to have us ready to fight off any adventurism from our fascist neighbours and protect the population from climate change catastrophes.
The US is really becoming more and more authoritarian, but your fixation on the US while ignoring all other authoritarian and fascist threats is telling.

Well the rest of them ain’t our physical neighbor.
“fixation”, “telling”: this passive aggressive ad hominem innuendo shit is bad faith engagement and not worth my time.
