And you'll go to that political-corruption-free country of your dreams?
When it comes down to it, we have it pretty good in regard to corruption. And they aren't nearly as incompetent as you believe them to be. Aggravating the U.S. is largely a media creation considering we've never traded more with them than this year and it looks like trade will be going up next year. The gun registry was politically popular and the reasons for budgetary lapses seem to be at the civil servant not political end.
Every time the Canadian Forces get sent to a desert country there's ALWAYS a news story a week later saying how they have their green camo. Grow up and realize what you're complaining about here. Would you rather they spent crap loads on all different types of camo in the case that they might need them someday or would you rather they bought the uniforms on demand for various situations. The forces weren't even combat deployed by the time they got their new unis. And they did put in a rush order for new Mercedes jeeps after their jeeps were found to be inadequate. You're blaming the liberals for doing what is politically popular and that is funding other programs at the expense of the military. Would you rather they just did stuff that wasn't popular? No, you'd probably hate them all the same.
