There's no doubt that Canadians have developed a full-blown, if heartbreaking, romance with their soldiers � and, it can be argued, a more robust sense of the country's place in the world. They have become modern-day action heroes, fighting the Taliban in

    "What do we want to do with a better armed, better equipped, better funded military?" Gee, why don't we use it to guard this country's sovereignty and natural resources that the world will be in short supply of in the next decades...

    We should do that, but odds are we'll just stop funding it and let it whither on the vine again...

    If you don't use it, you'll lose it. Protecting the borders is something the general public is thrilled to turnover to the US. Want a viable military, find a war.

    Sad but true.

    HM..... A NEW ROLE FOR THE MILITARY....this happened a few years back... I believe the guys name was Pierre "Idiot" Trudeau.

    Trudeau had a new role for the Military, it was called THE DISMANLTING OF Canada's armed forces.....Trudeau and Chretien believe because the USA was HUGGING Canada, Canadians would just fund their social needs , such as their free healthcare system . {so I heard from this Mike theMore Guy}

    We like what Harper and the government is funding now. Keep Canada proud as she was after and during WW2.

    Talk about serving! during the time Trudeau and Chretien era they made it harder to join.

    The youth of today don't realize the harm Trudeau's Government has on us today.

    But that the past, now you're just a bunch of pussies!
    Really war has charged and I'm more turn off of government because Trudeau and Chretien.... BURY THEM ON A ISLAND UP NORTH.... or send them to the moon!

    As I stated before I don't believe in party politics, I believe in issues that helps the voter. Party politics is just waste money and time, and they try to out do each other in a POWER PLAY!


    Change the role of government...
