Hard power? From a Canadian Government? A Liberal one, at that? I'm intrigued by what tomorrow's defense policy review may bring.
Queefer Sutherland:
Talk is cheap, let's see it. Sounds like an excuse to spend more taxpayer money and blame the boogie man Mr Trump.
JMT:
I was impressed with Canada's new defence policy. It's not pie in the sky, and it's not something that can really be hacked or slashed in any big way. Other than a small increase in troops and armed drones, it simply maintains our capabilities as they exist, and modernizes them. It also (despite what you keep hearing in the media) pumps over $1.5B into the budget this year.

I liked the indication of reducing our reliance on the States for trade. Also could mean less reason to involve ourselves in American wars.

One can only hope but I'll believe it when I see it.
