It'll never happen.

Paranoid? Not for me, but my grandchildren's children and beyond...

Sorry, wrong. We're on the target list too. Bin Laden mentioned us by name because we're in Afghanistan (remember?) kicking Taliban-ass.

Unfortunately, until this spring, we had 13+ years of uninterrupted liberal misrule under our Liberal Party and, typical of the left, they had no interest in defense or law enforcement. I guess they thought they could nuance any problems away. The new Conservative government is making up for lost time...

The point of this little rant is... the common people of Canada care about defense but the (former) government didn't... and they're gone.
