Per year? What length of time are you referring to?
$14,200,000,000/27,855,050[1] = $509 per tax filer (regardless of tax contribution)
Also, the bottom 40%[2] of Canadians pay $0 in income tax, so every Canadian that actually contributes to the national revenue has paid nearly $1,000 just for this purchase.
I support defence spending but let's not sugarcoat how much it really costs.
