i just hope that the next PM takes the northern border security as seriously as Harper does, because that will become a big issue in the next 10-20 years

Couldn't agree more. The Soviet Union 2.0 is no benevolent neighbour. That said IF, and only if, military spending can avoid the "Jobs for Quebec" fixture it has been (see F35 for future FAIL) then it could possibly not be colossally wasted spending we have seen in the past.
