Canada Publishes National Defense Policy, Fails to Meet NATO 2% GDP Requirement

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and Defense Minister Blair have published their defense policy report outlining their vision for the Canadian military over the next five years. The name of the report is "Our North, Strong and Free: A Renewed Vision for Canada's Defence" which places Climate Change in the High North as the most pressing challenge to Canada and its military. Climate change is then followed by the rise of autocracies which challenge the global order and then finally new and disruptive technologies which are redefining conflict.
