Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

I'll believe it when I see it.

Back of the napkin, 175$B, I’d argue that we are 10-12% of their pop so we are on the hook for 10-12% of the cost.

Except you are over 50% the land mass…

But only 2% of the targets

But only 2% of the targets

Well your the flight path to the majority of targeted if you don’t want to be the impact area, you need to accept a reasonable cost burden.

So 25% ?

I had someone make a comment to me that we should start building war houses again. It's a great idea, but it would never fly with the developers, if they can build a million dollar home on the same piece of property, they are going to do what makes them money.

Or build more row houses, narrow three storey houses with connecting walls.

Hypothetically, if four row houses fit in the same plot as a single million dollar detached house, you could sell each for $250,000 and make the same amount.

Trump says Canada has asked to join his Golden Dome missile defence program

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Tuesday aspects of his plan for a “Golden Dome” missile defence shield and said “it automatically makes sense” for Canada to be involved.

If true this is a big deal.

PMO confirmed it's real.

Trump said it 'automatically' makes sense to include Canada in the new defence system, but insisted that Canada will 'pay their fair share.'

If that’s the premise of your argument, then I’d say this is a 50/50 partnership where 50% of the money would be spent within Canada, on CDN companies and the Command structure would be an equal 50% partnership with a rotating US commander followed by a Canadian commander.
