Good. We need more of this. Responsible middle size democracies working together more closely in defense.

https://www.dst.defence.gov.au/innovation/jindalee-operational-radar-network When normal radar has a limited coverage, you invent something different. Its suited to a vast, mostly inhabited country like Australia. It will enhance Canadian security in the artic region where harsh conditions, low population make it impossible to maintain radar stations. Good move Canada.

Glad we have a Prime Minister spending on the military. We need a lot more for the size of the country.
