"Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security."
"He promised to 'take advantage of $180 billion in defence procurement opportunities and $290 billion in defence-related capital investment opportunities in Canada over the next 10 years.' At its core, the Defence Industrial Strategy aims to massively increase profits within the military industry."
Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a speech at Davos criticizing the rules-based international order as a system of great power rivalry and economic coercion. However, his subsequent actions contradicted this stance. He supported U.S.-Israeli military operations against Iran despite international law concerns, then invoked the deteriorating international order to justify Canada's first Defence Industrial Strategy. This strategy aims to capitalize on $180 billion in defense procurement and $290 billion in defense-related capital investment opportunities over ten years, fundamentally designed to increase military industry profits by 240 percent.
