For decades, Canadian governments, both Liberal and Conservative (under Brian Mulroney), wisely declined to participate in earlier versions of the Golden Dome under former U.S. presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Canada’s refusal was largely on the grounds that these so-called “missile defence” systems are not just defensive. In fact, they undermine arms treaties and encourage arms races.
Drones too, fast drones, cheap effective.
Motor, frame, and prop production can all be spun up overnight. The money part of drones is the flight controller and radio gear, all of that comes from china and would take several years for Canada to start production.
Atm I’m buying Chinese imports but not American, so shrug
It would be nice to stand up a Gripen factory
