Interesting breakdown of a generous view of 'defense' spending. Although such a proposal from Mr. Byers would not impress Mr. Trump or the armchair generals that post on this site. Nothing short of the shiniest and most expensive weapons systems (made in the U.S. of course) would make  a dent in their expectations. In fact, I suspect that they would gladly sacrifice C.P.P., health care, support for First Nations, etc.  In other words, the elimination of the things that make Canada worth protecting, just so the Canadian military could arm itself to the teeth with all the latest toys.
