In my opinion, perhaps one of the positive outcomes of Trump winning the election, is that Canada will finally grow up as an independent and sovereign nation and starting spending more money on defence....this is not a bad thing.  Sending 450 soldiers to Latvia or 600 troops on UN "peacekeeping" does not cut it for a nation that wants to be taken seriously as a "G7 nation."  Canada has not spent its "fair share" on Western defence since Diefenbaker in the late 1950s, despite the political spin.  It's time to ante up and invest in increasing our defence self sufficiency rather than sponging off the US, regardless of who has been in power.  Obama in his last visit to Canada was also rightfully pushing for Canada to assume some adult responsibility for defence.
