I am not certain that many RCAF or RCN Formation Commanders attend their driver's stag, get into a fight...
The only time I really enjoyed Brit food was in Baghdad. The DFAC at UIII was.....a DFAC. Eggs came as powdered scrambled or boiled. But, the Canadian Embassy was hosted within the Brit Embassy, and they always had a full fat fry up on the go, with actual fried eggs. Over more than a year on...

They will easily meet the 2% target, and will likely get to 3%.
If a country lacks the will, capacity, fortitude, competence, awareness etc to change the numerator, they...
