Canada's overstretched armed forces "are still very much on life support systems"

"We are just starting to emerge from a decade of darkness in the Canadian forces, where everything that we did, every day's activity, all of our focus intellectually and physically (was) designed to constrain, reduce, close, get rid of, stop doing or minimize," Hillier said.


The Liberals reduced the military budget by $20 billion over 10 years.The RCMP were reduced by at least 2200 Officers, CSIS was reduced by 700 people.In other words security for Canadians wasn't exactly priority #1. Meanwhile the PPG MSM beat their gums in a flap about Harper? While they are so concerned about the Liberal leadership, in fact pretty well act as nothing more than Liberal cheerleaders-Liberals good, Conservatives bad-,they didn't seem too concerned about integrity in government or the security of Canadians when the Liberals were in charge.
