Canada is embarking on a historic increase in defence spending, with Prime Minister Mark Carney committing to boost the military budget to meet or exceed NATO targets.
This surge in investment is expected to prioritize shipbuilding, aerospace, and high-tech sectors, aiming to strengthen both national security and economic growth.
