How do you define "ruining"? I happened to serve in the Canadian Forces (in the Reserves) from 1998-2002, and I would hardly call it "ruined". If you mean to say that the Liberals reduced military spending...well
of course they did, along with virtually every NATO country, including the United States. The Cold War was over, so armed forces everywhere were downsizing.

Funny enough, the Conservatives are doing exactly the same thing....lowering personal and corporate taxes, balancing the budget(after the recession), but improving the military as well.

Yes, the Harper government is fiscally conservative (I never said otherwise), but unlike the Chretien/Martin Liberals, they are most definitely NOT socially liberal, which was the point I was making in response to mesaywee's desire for a party that was neither 100% conservative nor 100% liberal.
