Canada’s not as enthusiastic about that military spending because little of that money goes to Canadian companies. Even for things like shipbuilding, the rules are unfavorable to Canadian industry and a lot of the industrial benefits go to US companies.
Canada tried to negotiate industrial benefits on the F-35 program, but it didn’t go well, and Canada entirely withdrew for many years.
A GOP Senator is just a mouthpiece for US industry, they just want more Canadian spend, they don’t GAF about actual defense of Canada.
