Canadian Army will need to spend $220 million to replace equipment donated to Ukraine but replacements could take years.

This might be a good opportunity to shift away from conventional artillery towards fully guided and more mobile systems like HIMARS.

Anyone who has followed this conflict closely can see alarming gaps in the Forces’ equipment. The lack of systems like self-propelled guns, rocket artillery, and weaponised drones / loitering munitions would put our troops in a seriously bad position if push came to shove.
