For some reason Canada's data isn't available but Google tells me that govt spending in Canada is about 40-42% of GDP which is below average and just slightly higher than the US. It's crazy how much the US spends on health care (the data doesn't show private spending which is also huge) - it's just so inefficient compared to everyone else. At the same time they don't spend as much on the military as I expected - just 3%, it's just that they've been doing it for so long that they've built up huge reserves in weapons.
