Canadian cruisers for the River-class fleet

What would four Canadian cruisers supporting the River class look like, and would NATO follow?

They would likely be large foreign-derived designs, and some NATO navies might follow Canada's example.

The proposed Canadian ships would sit near Zumwalt or future Type 83 dimensions. Canada would probably buy an established foreign design, with Japanese builders plausible because the country was already examining Japanese submarines. Some NATO navies might follow if Canada demonstrated a useful large surface combatant. This remains explicitly speculative, including the suggestion that current battleship rhetoric may make cruiser procurement easier to present.
