Canadian Submarines to Bolster Arctic Security, Govt Steps Up Defence | Firstpost America

The Arctic is currently a major point of contention as Russia, China, and the West vouch for control over the tundra. Canada is taking assertive measures to protect its territory in this battle for supremacy. The Canadian government has announced that it is initiating the procurement process for 12 conventionally-powered, under-ice capable submarines. However, it also underscores the growing concern regarding potential threats in the future. Despite currently spending 1.37% of its GDP on defence, Canada's new defence policy anticipates that this expenditure will increase to 1.76% by the end of the decade.

12 new subs, 88 F35a'S, 8 Harry DeWolf class and 2 other larger icebreakers in addition, 15 River Class destroyers (the largest fleet in the world) and control over the most efficient trade route in the world. Detractors of Canada really need to get up to date on what is happening. There are other factors benefitting Canada, of course, but those are left for another time.

[starej]

The only country in the world where the military is routinely demobilized and asked to proceed on vacation.

[Tristan]

Hahahhaa, Those rainbow unicorns are ready for war? Hahahahhahaa

[ClaudeLarose-gg]

Let's wait and see do not trust this government

[starej]

Canada not doing shit! They would rather use those submarines for fishing!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[brianmurray]

The British couldn't make a bath tub let alone a sub. Nothing but junk.

[Krzystof-uj]

Someone wrote that Canada is still missing in this embarrassment🤣🤣

[nonasmith]

I thought canadian PM says they are going to take until 2032 to get these.

[Muricans]

Canada?! America’s colony in the north 😂😂😂

[waynemartin]

By the time Ottawa gets one submariine on active duty it will be obsolete. Given the submarines we have now, a word of advice. Don't by British.

[Nooneapparently]

lol these old British subs that leaked .. give me a break, Canadian military is just a joke

[dorisganz]

I hope those submarines have wheels on them, so they can land on the Tundra.

[DavidBale-vnop]

Don't even talk about it. Can't even get a destroyer out of the yard.

[gTimber]

yeah 12 subs over 100 years. They will be pink and leaky.

[coondogalabama]

So when did they make a canoe a sub love to see one. Remember when we had to get Danish sailors to bring our new bought subs home from England. So wonderful to be Canadians when our leaders make us fell so less when we are not. So done with this make to feel bad about being a hung ho Canadian only when the hockey game is on.

[nemesis]

Well we do have that one that doesn't work. Remember the ones Chretien purchased.

[jensramputh]

Canada couldn't defend its way out of s paper bag😅

[photographerlostintimber]

Do they work or just waste of money.
The usual arrogance of Trudeau

[TONSBERG]

May I suggest the type 212 submarine.

[funtimedude]

Title of video gave me the best laugh of my week.
