Canada, one of the wealthiest countries in the world and coasts on three oceans, doesn’t even have a single aircraft carrier. We have four hand me down subs that barely work and a few frigates. We will not last
If the Canadian armed forces are going to be small and defensive in nature then the best value for dollar is in the ultimate defence deterrent: the nuclear submarine.

Go India!
WION.
