"But creating a truly successful, world-leading CVE program requires far more than these small bureaucratic steps. "

"the government is running the risk of missing an opportunity to establish a world-class initiative."

World leading? World class? How about if you just get something in place that makes any  effort at keeping the population safer than now? Then become world class.

Canada doesn't have the experience, the money, the know-how, the tools, the motivation, the infrastructure or the military to be 'world class'. Many other countries do and its doubtful if any of them take Canada seriously.

This type of flattery of the Canadian people happens all the time here and its part of what makes them having an unrealistic sense of their place in the world.
