Canada Readies Role in North American War, U.S. Tied
Canada plans to back U S defense in a first phase war with ocean convoys and joint North American defense. It spends 425 million dollars yearly, about 18 percent of its government budget, and maintains 50 900 active personnel across air force army and navy. The air force dominates spending and capability with multiple interceptor squadrons and long range fighters. The navy moves toward new anti submarine ships while the army envisions an airborne future with trained paratroopers and advanced missiles. US Canadian cooperation appears smooth overall.
