In the calculation of Canada’s military spending in terms
of a percentage of national GDP, is Canada’s spending
in support of Ukraine’s defence against Russia included?
If not, it should be, and that would move Canada closer
to the 2% target (or floor, as some suggest).

If it was included, perhaps Canada could give even more
to Ukraine than it has so far, and that might be true of
some countries other than Canada as well.
