Canada has hit 2% of spending for NATO. As Canada needs this increased military spending to protect our resources like petro and nuclear from a maga invasion, those industries must now pay a rider for protection.

Petro and nuclear should be assessed an equivalent percentage of spending that then is collected and applied to Canada's military budget.

Canada also owns the TMX pipeline. It needs to have a special rider applied because of the energy crisis the maga fash and their petro collaborators created. Give those funds to low income Canadians.

Most Canadians would likely agree with these extra taxes on oligarch industries, but our banker PM and his conservative neoliberal party won't.

The economics of war explained by @nicolange , the former chief of executive staff at the German Ministry of Defense @Verteidigungsministerium:

“Scenes like this are playing out throughout the Persian Gulf battlespace: a small drone approaches a US destroyer at high speed; the vessel sounds the alarm, and its defenses react immediately with expensive sensors, missiles, and maneuvers. An above-water drone costs a few thousand dollars. The response can cost millions. And the destroyer vessel is just one of many that require multi-domain defenses.

This reveals a new economy of war. Cheap beats expensive. Mass beats perfection. […]

Those who assert themselves militarily at too high a cost also lose at the same time. And those who lose cheaply remain capable of acting in the end. Those who lose too expensively lose too much anyway. In the Gulf, we are currently seeing how this can change the geopolitical balance of power.”
