Defend against who? You?
I am in Canada, and the USA recently threatened to invade us, basically.
So we need to buy weapons from the USA in order to defend ourselves from the USA?
Sounds like mafia protection schemes.

Sure, we are now a threat, but let’s not ignore Russia or China. Neither of them are breaking news and Russia is the immediate threat for most of the West, and until recently for you guys as well
I never heard Russia or China openly say they want to annex-invade Canada.
However, I did hear the USA president say that openly, recently and multiple times.
So pardon me for entirely rejecting your 'Russia+China = BAD, USA = GOOD' narrative.
I would even go as far as saying that today, the most immediate danger to World stability is Donald Trump and his USA, which are not friends to anyone anymore. Let us hope we can survive the next 3 years.
My original point stands. Your country was able to invest in healthcare because it didn’t spend enough on defense. It doesn’t matter who the aggressor is.
