I want Canada to keep producing excellent light infantry and special forces units. They did an excellent job in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban and AQ. But maybe another battalion group or so for external operations in peacekeeping and such. And please the M-19 mortar (60mm) is totally old . Tanks who cares.
Maybe pick up some CH-47s and some UH-60s to support allied ground operations. I mean right now they use the Bell-412 which is nice and all but to operate alongside us it makes the log train easier to use the same meduim lift helicopters as us. Not like the Bell 412 is much of a combat helicopter anyways (more a civie bird).
I want them to give the CF-18A/Bs a real upgrade to be able to handle more air to ground operations. For them to pick up the JDAM and such to be able to send a worthwhile force to an air campaign. We don't need a few extra AD planes on operations, Cold War is done and over. During Bosnia the CF-18A/Bs were not of much use because first off they could not "talk" to us and second because the weapons were old. Canada didn't even put in its first LGB until 1999 and it was 300 at that. We don't need an ally to bring in AD tasked planes these days but all weather multi role strikers. And not like the CF-18A/Bs are that great ad AD being F-18s first off and the fact that only now are they putting the AIM-120 into service.
Don't want to be offensive and all.
