As a Wikileaks cable from the American embassy in Ottawa revealed, Washington looks on all this with condescending amusement, noting that, though Mr. Harper is forever making announcements � An Arctic deep sea port! Armed patrol vessels! A new icebreaker! � his government rarely actually cuts a cheque.
Russia is actually DOING things; Canada just plans and proposes.
That is because the Liberals hate the military. Just today the liberal government screwed over Veterans in terms of benefits.
Oh wait.
