Carney Promises Billions for Canada Military Gear in Pivot from US

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will invest hundreds of billions of dollars in defense over the next decade as part of a strategy to steer more of that spending to domestic firms rather than US contractors.

In the next 10 years, Canada will spend C$180 billion ($131 billion) directly on military procurement and C$290 billion on defense-related infrastructure, Carney said.
