Per AP: Canada pledged 5% GDP on defense. Canada will deliver 2%.

I don't know much about what type of "negotiations" are required at the pre-WWII continental defense board that we just "paused" (which I assume means we did not send a representative to this month's meeting), but hopefully this is a small wake-up call to Canada. In the meantime, I assume that Canada's air forces will continue cooperation with the US. Certainly their ground and naval forces are not positioned to defend even their own country, much less ours. They rely on us for that.

Interestingly, Canada's failure to meet its agreed obligations puts pressure on Denmark, as Greenland becomes more important.

Does pause in participation on the board change anything at NORAD? I'm guessing not.
