Canada is clearly serious about rebuilding its military. Every now and then we learn about these moves to acquire more, new and better equipment for the troops to be able to do their jobs.
Contrast this to the way the Liberals used to treat the Canadian Forces. They simply pretty much let it all fall apart without replacement. In fact, former Liberal PM Chretien actually had $100 million taken from the military so he could acquire two new jets for himself and his regime to fly around in, despite the fact that he already had some perfectly good ones at his disposal, including his predecessor, PM Mulroney's mothballed Airbus, which Chretien petulantly refused to use. What a crappy prime minister that Chretien was!
Now, Canada's doing what she reasonably can at a reasonable pace. For a change!
