Sounds like Canada needs to invest in hiring a foreign military with its own everything.
Just give the US your military budget and disband your armed forces Canada. Then let them operate under contract to do what your military was supposed to do.
Problem solved. Integrate native Canadian military personnel with former rank into a defense force. Done.

Canada leaches off the massive USA defense forces. Congrats!

They should be ashamed of themselves. They spend about as much as Turkey on defense and yet in a head to head with Turkey they'd be wiped out in less than a week. If that.
You can't spend what you don't have.

You misunderstand. Actually Canada spends a bit more than Turkey and has nothing to show for it. Turkey has better everything than Canada and spends less. What are your politicians doing with the money would be a better question.
Keep in mind, Turkey is a NATO member and as such has access to all modern western equipment. Including the F-35. So how can Turkey have a larger, better trained, and better equipped army/navy/airforce than Canada? How does that happen?

This was brought about almost entirely by the F-35 debacle. If they had stayed with their original plan, they would have seen them at Luke by last year or the year before and pilots would be training on them now.
