Canadian PM Carney pledges to significantly boost military spending and capabilities if re-elected.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, leading the Liberal Party, has pledged to boost the country's military significantly if re-elected on April 28. The plan includes increasing defense spending to meet NATO's 2% GDP target by 2030, purchasing new submarines and heavy icebreakers, and modernizing military recruitment and procurement systems. Carney aims to address a personnel shortfall and improve military and family support services. The promises come amid rising global tensions and pressure from the US.
