That's the exact line of thinking that led us to have to borrow tanks from the Germans and then panic buy more to supplement and/or replace the borrowed ones after we sent our troops to Afghanistan without the proper equipment. Any well-equipped infantry force requires heavy machinery -including MBTs - to support it. Otherwise it's just people with guns.
If we are going to ask people to fight for our country, we have a responsibility to make sure they can do so effectively. As much as I agree with Canada giving support to Ukraine, (and I agree with it very strongly) it can not be to the detriment of our own armed forces.
