Canada Still Buys Mostly from U.S. | Canada News
Description
Canada’s defense spending remains heavily tilted toward the U.S., with over $253 million poured into 1,400 contracts as of August 27 — making America by far the top foreign supplier. While the UK and Germany snagged smaller shares, Spain and Mexico pulled in significantly more through fewer, larger deals. Despite political pressure to “buy Canadian,” U.S. gear often wins due to proven reliability and availability — a tough balancing act between national pride and real-world military needs. With major contracts still pending, the landscape could shift later this year — but for now, the U.S. stays firmly at the top.
