The Trump era sees Canadians — and Americans — enlisting in the military in swelling numbers

An unexpected trend has emerged during the Trump era, with both Canadians and Americans seeing increased enlistment in their respective military forces. This shift is influenced by a combination of economic factors, changes in national policy, and a perceived uptick in global threats. The surge in military recruitment underscores a growing national security focus and reflects a broader societal response to a more unstable and unpredictable world. This trend could have long-term implications for defense spending, military readiness, and national security strategies.
