In a future state of the world where 25 cents of every 1$ produced by Canada goes to investing in defence there would be systemic affects on the ENTIRE budget... most public policy experts working on Canada neglect that fact.

I've spent a good part of the last few years being frustrated at what appears to be general apathy about training defense economists in Canada. Few scholars work with military spending data... a 5% club target, based on Canada's 2024 GDP and tabled 2025-2026 budget... yeilds 27% on 'defence.'

For a country currently obsessed with critical minerals and even discussing territorial annexation to secure them, alienating our Canadian friends is wildly at odds with US mineral security ambitions. Two countries make the #USGS top tier in terms of US import dependency: Canada & China.
