As a currently serving member, I don't care anymore. I'm 3.5 years from compulsory retirement so I'm sticking it out for the pay and pension. But I do shake my head at how something as simple as a handgun purchase can be so royally cocked up. Give me that budget and I could go to any gun show and sign a contract in an hour.
Have you heard about our medium machineguns? That's another example of taking a simple solution and creating a major problem. It's unbelievable. We have a dope of a Foreign Affairs Minister suggesting providing the Ukrainians with weapons. How about providing our own military first?
The reality is the Canadian people (read voters) don't care. It doesn't affect them. Health care, environment, education and that kind of stuff resonates with them.
