Interesting that we both want to see Canada increase defence spending/capability, but you think Harris could achieve that where I think Trump would more likely do so.

So, the last admin where the world writ large thought the US had it still “together”. As in, the divisions weren’t so apparent.
I fail to see the problem here.
Canada could increase defence spending in step with the US under a Harris admin. Canada would increase defence spending because of the US in a Trump admin.
I think most CAF members want to see that.
But I don’t feel that isolationism and trying to placate Putin the way Trump wants to do will encourage Canada to spend more. What would be the point if we aren’t going to seriously try and deter Putin.
And if Putin isn’t a threat then why spend on defence at all.

Elon Musk backs down from $45 million a month pledge to Trump: ‘I don't subscribe to cult of personality’
But, Trump demonstrated “great courage” after being shot on July 13, the CEO added.
Oh god, some more heads are going to explode.

Trump placating Putin like advising the EU to get off dependency on Russian energy supplies? That kind of placating? I'm in.

Under a Harris admin Canada could but hasn't yet and we can safely assume by now won't. Under Trump, there might be conditions set that force Canada to do so.
I don't think your eternal optimism is justified at this point in time.

Obama's foreign policy was disaster and encouraged people like Putin to push the boundaries.

Against.
I'll wait for an example where Trump benefitted Russia over American interests.

"After the election I'll have more flexibility" - I wonder how that would be spun had it come from Trump.

Putin bromance has US intelligence officials fearing second Trump term
Ex-president’s support for the Russian strongman has experts fretting over American interests and security sources overseas

Within the first page of a Google search on “Trump benefit Russia” - and I steered clear from Dem or GOP representatives’ pages.

Not entirely accurate. There is far more grey area here than you'd like to admit.
Yes Russia is a threat, Capt Obvious.
I don't know how, but I suspect he will be more effective than the DNC alternatives have been or will be.
