He reduced spending  in part due to austerity, the new direction of our forces as highly specialized teams, end of afghani mission, and because people like you said  Tanks in the street if Harper wins as we will be warmongering militaristic nation under him.

YOU (and others)  never let that go... from 2003 on thru about 2013.. Then suddenly when it was finally realized the CPC had gone  a different route you complained about budgetary cuts to the military even though you'd never have approved of increases.  

To add insult to it all you also complained about veteran benefits .. a new plan implemented by your LPC  before it was axed... and tried to blame it's problems  on the CPC, fully knowing that they didn't introduce it and it takes time to fully understand the ups/downs of such packages.
