 "OTTAWA — Canada is not about to meet its NATO defense spending
commitments anytime soon, a long-awaited major defense policy update
revealed on Monday...
 In 2023 at NATO’s Vilnius summit, Canada committed alongside its allies
to spend 2 percent of GDP on defense, but Ottawa’s most recent
projections have its defense spend-to-GDP ratio hit 1.76 percent in
2029-30, at a ballpark of C$57.8 billion...
 The news comes as a record number of NATO’s allies will meet the 2
percent target, and follows months of pressure from allies for Canada to
end its free-rider status in the alliance...
 It comes days ahead of Canada’s budget, details of which have been
revealed in a stream of announcements designed to shore up attention on
the governing Liberals as they struggle against Conservatives surging in
the polls..."
