Canada should quickly start making a billion combat drones for air, water and land. They have a disproportionate advantage against armaments of yesteryear. Can't invade us when there are swarms of inteligent bombs following your every move.

Trudeau is visiting Ukraine and Zelenskiy right now. Maybe they can discuss Ukraine sharing some of its drone prowess with us in exchange for increased monetary aid.
Canada should quickly start doing something.
Fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me.
Well fuck ... there it is. :/
In interviews now available online, Pearkes stated that the American Deputy Secretary of Defense told him that Canada did not need to build the Arrow; that the United States had lots of aircraft. Pearkes further explains that in order to honour the NORAD agreement, he felt he needed to introduce the Bomarc missile, which would be the main defensive weapon for Canada. But he noted that if he cancelled the Arrow, Canada would not have an air defence in the ensuing time before the Bomarcs were installed and operational. However, if he struck a deal with the Deputy Secretary of Defense, wherein he would allow American aircraft to train from Canadian bases during that interim period, he could cancel the Arrow and let the US handle our air defence should the need arise. This admission by Pearkes is startling to say the least.
If it's any consolation, Bomarc was also cancelled.
