The liberals in Ottawa reluctantly conceded (at least in public), after Conservatives convinced them, that Canada’s military has become, under the Liberals, woefully underfunded, understaffed by actual military personnel (there’s an extremely liberal quantity of military bureaucrats and paper-pushers naturally), and Canada lacks the ability to defend its own borders.
The liberals’ answer was to promise to increase the number of recruits by a paltry 1,000 troops per year. When one remembers that in the tsunami disaster, the Americans had some 13,000 troops right there, saving lives (within days of the disaster, by the way), with an aircraft carrier and several accompanying ships, a huge fleet of helicopters and sundry other supply aircraft, jeeps, water-making capability, and more, figure out how our adding just 1,000 per year to our meager numbers might help.
And don’t forget to consider we still have no means with which to move them anywhere short of renting Russian planes (yet again), further demoralizing our troops and in fact our national pride, to say nothing of our international reputation and most importantly, the thousands of lives that could be saved if the liberal-left in this country wasn’t so treasonous and derelict in their duty to our nation.
Canada’s Senate defence committee—a stack of Liberal Party appointees with a smattering of token Conservatives in our unelected Senate (mercifully no fringe left-wing NDP’ers)—says Canada needs five times that number per year just to make it adequate.
I imagine that actually means that in reality (in non-liberal reality land), we need ten times that number. Moreover, we need ships, equipment, aircraft, weaponry, systems, and more. But we’ll need a sensible conservative-minded government that actually considers it important to defend Canada and be able to assist worldwide—for anything like that to happen.
The Chairman of the Senate defence committee, Liberal Senator Colin Kenny says,
“You either start investing seriously in defence spending and foreign aid or you become inward looking,” said Mr. Kenny. “You don’t waste time going to NATO meetings. You don’t bother with G8 meetings. There’s no point going down to the UN because we have nothing to offer.”
Imagine what a non-liberal who cares about seriously defending Canada and the free world would say.
