The Globe continues to push a "because it's 2017" narrative that avoids the fiscal realities of Trudeau's sunny ways of spending billions on "social infrastructure" with nothing to show for it. Looking back two years ago, has there been any material improvements in terms of Canadian infrastructure under Trudeau's bloated budgets? He is wasting billions on puffery with nothing to show for it except for Liberal symbolism. Canada's Arctic could be taken over like Crimea and Canada would not be able to defend it - the only reason that doesn't happen is due to the protection provided by our southern neighbors. Canada does not have a blue water Navy - we rely on Allies to keep our ships supplied in open waters. Canada's military procurement is paralyzed by bureaucracy and short-sighted politics that hurts Canadian Forces and taxpayers - look at Chretien with helicopters in 1993 and what's changed? Australia's recent investments highlight Canada's failures - it's embarrassing.
