How to build a made-in-Canada military

from The Current

The Prime Minister is pledging to buy 70 percent of the country's military gear here at home within a decade. That's promising news for Canadian companies like Kraken Robotics. But experts say the change won't be easy. We speak with Bernard Mills, the executive vice-president of defence of Kraken Robotics, a marine technology company founded in Newfoundland, David Perry, president of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute think tank, and Erin O'Toole, the former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, a veteran of the Canadian armed forces, and a distinguished fellow specializing in international trade at the Hudson Institute.
