Snip

Martin is supposedly for reconstituting* the Canadian Armed Forces.
Is this considered a step in that direction, and have any
general-specifics been laid out as of yet?


* My term.


as far as I know, no. And in an instant globe and mail poll, the
military came
near the bottom of our priorities. Bloody good for us!

Prime Minister Martin said yesterday that "it is obvious" that a
complete review of foreign and defence policy is needed. Sounds like a
good place to start.

If the silly buggers would only do it from first principles, we could
at least be assured of a semi-sane product. I am afraid useless
infrastructure will be preserved to save the votes that go with it.
