The federal government will spend nearly $2 billion to buy 190 new armoured vehicles for the Canadian Armed Forces. The vehicles will be built in London, Ontario, using Canadian-made parts and are expected to support about 6,000 jobs. The new vehicles will be used for military training across Canada, with some also being sent to help Ukraine.
