The myth of one-party support for the Canadian Armed Forces - CBC News | Opinion

'The argument can be made that defence spending in Canada rises and falls no matter who is in power. '

'As for military spending, there were no new ships — big, honking or otherwise — after nine years, and precious little of anything else. '

'The new Conservative defence minister had just announced a massive multi-billion-dollar plan to upgrade the military, especially the navy. '

'There is a myth widely accepted by many in the military, by veterans and by the civilian public that the Conservatives are the party of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). '

'Interim measures have been taken to back up the CF-18s and provide support vessels for the navy, and a decorated soldier is serving as defence minister. '
