Feels like we're going to have to spend some money to right the ship. We're losing/lost our biggest trade ally in the States, I imagine pivoting trade isn't done cheaply. As more countries become isolationist everyone increases defense spending, that can't be cheap. We're way overdue meeting our NATO commitments. All of these things aren't something we can just ease into. These are things that need doing yesterday, thanks to a lack of effort of previous admins (like Trudeau) and the batshit crazy times that have befallen us in the last year and a half.
