Pierre Trudeau must be...

Spinning in his grave...
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced a 20-year, $30-billion renewal of the Canadian Forces in a broad plan that coalesces several previously announced defence initiatives.

“If a country wants to be taken seriously by the rest of the world, it needs to have the capacity to act."
I... of course... expect loud, prolonged, derisive noises from the Liberals... you know... the guys who starved our troops of resources AND THEN dropped them into combat in Afghanistan in the first place.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Said noises being the precursor to voting in favour of the plan or being absent during the vote."

"Either way, it's a form of 'sitzkrieg'."
