Interesting, Charmion. If selected, hopefully, he performs well, to calm current concerns.

I suspect many Canadians, though certainly not all, have the similar feelings, last Guest.

While the last government seemed obsessed with questionable pre-emptive bomb dropping strategy - they seemed to have "shallow thinking" when it came to domestic defense. For example, while there was a lot of talk about the Northern priority, it was not evident in defense nor science. Building naval ships for northern defense with little, if any, ice breaking capacity seems like poor strategy to me. Added to this, is a deminished northern science capacity, as most Coast Guard ships, with formerly excellent science focused capacity, are now ancient. The same goes for what I see as minimal Canadian air defense capacity in the North.
