Harper: more airborne troops
Conservative leader Stephen Harper announced today that he would buy more military aircraft to replace our aging transports but also form a new airborne division of our armed forces.
Yes, Canada does need a military, yes, a few planes would be nice, but shouldn't we make sure that our troops on the ground had the proper equipment before we start creating more demands on a shrinking budget!

Spending money on the military is a useless waste of tax dollars. Maybe a couple more planes would help a bit, but not enough to really increase our military's stengnth on an international level. Personally, put that money into provincial legislatures and not the military.

The military's purpose is to protect our government and through extension our citizens that are governed by it. Our military as it stands could not accomplish this basic task. What do you think would happen if a Katrina sized disaster struck Canada?
