It is not clear that Canada is not spending it's fair share of GDP on it's military. It is all a question of accounting. For example, Canada has a seperate budget for it's Coast Guard, whereas many European nations, considers this to be part of it's military spending.

While the Coast Guard is considered part of the US military, not all aspects of Coast Guard spending would be counted as "military spending" according to NATO guidelines; only the portions of the Coast Guard that are trained in military tactics, equipped for military operations, and can be deployed outside the country under direct military authority would be included in NATO's calculation of military expenditure.
