Retired Canadian General
Lewis MacKenzie knows what I know. Canada is essentially defenseless
at this point. Our Armed Forces are insignificant in today's world
of war and our armaments are antiquated and not adequate to national
defense.
I propose a significant
increase in the numbers of our armed forces personnel – doubling
the number in ten years and thereby providing jobs, training and much
needed service to the nation and people.
This would be accompanied
by a smorgasbord of up-to-date equipment and technology. We will
then be better equipped to be good Allies and Friends and more
formidable enemies.
See Gen. Mackenzie and
hear him in his own words at the link below as he appeals for Reason
in the analysis and practice of our national defense needs. He is
concerned and his concern is based upon science and math, not upon
ideology and greed like those in the halls of power. He wants Canada and Canadians to be safe. This is his duty and it is the duty of every citizen.
Here's a link to a brief
article about how I view our current state of affairs in the area of
national defense and security under the Harper Government.
“...we have no final
plans for air defense, no follow through with Northern deployment, no
maintenance of the size of force we employ and deploy, no rescue
helicopters, no usable [or reusable!] submarines, no shallow water
rescue and defense Navy
and Coast
Guard boats – high speed with a shallow displacement and
heavily weaponed for fiords, narrows, the North.
There is no
comprehensive and systematic fresh and salt water rescue and defense
planning, emergency planning or Plan period. What exactly are we
getting for the huge and ballooning military budget?”

are strong and safe.”
