Canadian Military
The Liberals want to ground the F35 jets and want to invests in the Navy. It was the Liberals in 1998 that spent a lot of money on the subs they bought from the UK that were duds. Man Canadians are Stupid.

I don't believe most voters had the military in mind this go around. We're not in a war ATM.

The F35 is a dud and a total waste of money.
Canada should invest in the navy.
And the Rafael, EuroFighter, F-15 Golden Eagle and F18 Super Hornet. And /or.

I have to agree with that ^, and I'm a big fan of Canada buying Typhoons instead . . .

The f35 engine needs full rebuild everytime it goes over Mach 1. Which is going to be every sortie and every dog fight. I think cancelling it is the right thing.
Look at the sukhoi, rafal or typhoon instead

There is no doubt in my military mind that we are headed for another decade of darkness in the CAF. I predict funding to be slashed, procurement projects halted and a greatly diminished military presence on the world stage as Justin will want a kinder, gentler military.
I also can't want for all those whinging, moaning malcontents from the cold war era that call themselves veterans who campaigned for Trudeau to cry poormouth when he renegs on his election promises. i.e., those 9 regional VA offices will not be re-opened.
I'd say MND and MVA will be between Harjit Singh Sajjan and Andrew Leslie.
In other words, the CAF is now screwed!

Just reading Rick Hillier and how we sold our heavy lift Chinooks to the Dutch and then had to borrow them back in Afghanistan. Severely affected the mission and doubtless responsible for some of the casualties. Hardly any way to run a Military. Some day, we're gonna pay big time.
