The bottom line is that the Canadian Government whether its Liberal or Conservative have very little understanding of National Defense and its link to foreign Policy.


When she was pressed in the house last week around Military spending and the defense of the arctic, our defense minister basically said that the Coast Guard was there to defend the arctic.



Justin has paid lip service to increasing spending but he's been doing that since 2015 and done very little. Its going to take Canadians dying after we put them in harms way to get a temporary squirt of spending on the Military. Kind of like after the Canadians went to Afghanistan woefully unprepared and badly equip and the Cons went on a good spending spree.



At this point its not even about increasing the annual budget amount. The Canadian Forces needs a massive overhaul and reequiping to avoid rust out death and being unable to survive in a modern battlefield.
