The F-22 isn't failed.
Yhe reason the US is the best and most powerful military is because we make good durable equipment that isn't cheap throw away shit like the Ruskies.
As we have been seeing.
The US MIC makes pretty robust in most situations equipment.
It isn't cheap because there are some parts specially made. Sometimes it is over priced.

Something tells me one of y'all will be cooking up a juicy political or international thriller TL 😎

Possible, although a thriller TL about Canada would require extensive research.

The Canadian plan was basically "oh shit, we have no allies and have to deal with an angry US out for blood".

Still is. Canada's plans for dealing with hypothetically getting invaded by anyone but the US are essentially "the US will deal with it since they don't want a hostile state within walking distance" and for an American invasion, "lose".

Although, to be fair, there's also NORAD that would be able to detect hostile aircraft approaching the shared North American space as well.
Other than the US, the only foes that Canada would have to worry about would be Russia and China, but given that their naval capabilities are questionable at best, their attempts at an amphibious invasion would end in disaster, unless they take Haida Gwaii and Vancouver Island. Even then, we would also have the US navy to shield our territorial waters.
Which is exactly why Canada's navy also needs a hell lot more attention as well. Especially regarding our submarines. We could either collaborate with fellow NATO member states on building submarines (France and Germany in mind), or we could outright purchase second hand submarines from them. Japan is a no go due to certain restrictions on their military, but their submarines might fit the Canadian Navy a bit well. Before the Scorpene-class subs were chosen by Australia, they were at one point interested in a few Soryu-class submarines.

Mexico's plans are pretty similar.
Basically: "Invade us and the big bully to the North who doesn't particularly like Hispanics will be extremely upset with you."

Yeah, although which country would be insane enough to invade Mexico of all nations, in this day and age?

The US, and that's really about it.
Anyone else tries it and Mexico basically has the entirety of North and South America saying "we've got your back".

Somehow I'm tickled this guy is a genius at logistics but apparently can't read a map.
Enemy Commander: "How is he doing this? We've completely cut off the hyperspace routes to his forces! He shouldn't be able to keep supplying them!"
Enemy Advisor: "It's brilliant, he's been sending his supply ships in the wrong direction the entire time so they've been taking a roundabout path and traveling through our rear lines. Our rearguard has been assuming it was civilian traffic because there was no reasonable way enemy supply ships were coming from behind them."

Going back to the Canadian military, if there was seriously going to be modernization, what should take priority overall in this case? I’d say that Canada could invest in more anti-air weapons, since that would help NORAD. More warships to patrol the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, and definitely upgrading the infantry equipment as well. Unfortunately, we’re already deep in too much debt to even solve the damn issue.

I'd worry about good leadership first. Y'all need to purge all the woke nonsense first. Anti-air probably wouldn't be a bad second thing, though.

air and navy, with an expanded militia and airlift capabilities.

We do have the Reserve Forces as our equivalent of the National Guard.
Definitely the air force and navy need a lot of modernizations, expansions, and improvements as well. As I've said with regards to what the US defense industry should do, simplification of their military equipment could go a long way in increasing their sales, even if it does sound a bit more distasteful. Canada did design its own version of the M3 Lee in the Ram tank, but never actually saw combat during WWII. So, here's the list of what I would propose that Canada could have:
AIR FORCE:
- (Possible or not) Embraer C-390 Millennium (transport)
- A few extra Boeing C-17 Globemaster III planes
- Fighter aircraft would be a tricky issue, but at the moment, the Canadian variant of the F-35 is being developed for the Canadian Air Force. If I had to choose, it would either be a KAI T-50 Golden Eagle fighter aircraft, or a Canadian variant of the Eurofighter Tycoon.
- Possibly more helicopters, transport and attack ones.
NAVY:
- (currently being built) Protecteur-class auxiliary vessel
- (already built) HMCS Harry DeWolf
- Canadian Surface Combatant surface warships
- submarines that would replace the ageing Victoria-class submarines.
As I was saying...
With recruitment lagging, Canadian military preparing new ethos, dress code
Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) leadership says it hopes a new military ethos and dress code refresh will help address a much-needed culture shift as it struggles to recruit more diverse personnel.

Except that if we tried to get rid of the broke works in the military, Doughboy would simply reverse it and get rid of the anti-woke fools in the military.As I was saying...

Not going to happen, as they are not produced any more, unless the United States is willing to sell them some sued once.
