You can easily count all of the RCMP in most of that. They are a para-miltary organziation. Their is no auditor general telling you the numbers are fudged.

It is the NATO secretariat that publishes the list, they effectively decide what counts.
How many RCMP officers are equipped as a military force? Plausibly some swat teams, maybe 1% of the force?
If every single veteran over 65 received the maximum OAS (which they almost certainly don’t) it would be 0.07% of GDP
