"I think there's far more similarity than there is difference," said Dave Perry, president of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute.

It is, he said, significant that the parties agree on meeting the NATO benchmark, which allies, including Canada, originally pledged to work toward in 2014 following Russia's invasion of Crimea.

"Canadians need to be aware that we've landed on actually living up to the set of commitments we promised to deliver on 11 years ago, just as our allies move on to a new set of commitments when it comes to the share of our economy we're investing in defence."

France has the right idea.

Nukes.
As much as I hate to say it, nothing short of nukes can guarantee your sovereignty against another nuclear nation.
Build your own defense/weapons.
F35s are likely dead on arrival in a Canada-US altercation, whether that's through a kill switch or just supply chain for maintenance.
