The Liberal government has been under intense pressure from the U.S. to boost defence spending. Last year, the Liberals announced more than $30 billion in new projects, with much of that going to U.S. firms.

This is good news considering Russia's increasing hostility, but it's surprising that they don't even plan on starting construction until 2030. How does it take us so long to even get started on a defense project like this?
