- Increase the military budget/spending (however, it's not nearly enough or immediate)
- Finally picked a helicopter contract to replace aging Sea Kings
- New naval unit out in BC (The Canadian equiv. to the US Seals)
- Upgraded and building new JTF2 training base
- Desert camo for our soliders
- New Mercedes armour vechicles
- Election promise, new Foreign Intelligence department to run along side CSIS (since been cancelled, too bad, would have been cool)
Just off the top of my head
