And don't forget those Sea Kings.


Re: the increased military spending. I wouldn't put too much stock into that. That was the same party that said they would abolish the GST. And that was the same party that received millions in illegal kickbacks. My guess is that was just to steal some Conservative thunder. As soon as the election is over those plans will be quietly shelved. Anyone want to bet otherwise? Of course should the Conservatives win, then that could actually be a reality.

China will never be part of the G8 is because you have to be a democratic state inorder to be a member.

Canadian army may not spend a lot of equipment, especially aircraft it seems, but they spend a lot on personnel.

The pay is really good in the army. Pay and benefits are one of the best in the world.

The increased spending in the military had nothing to do with trying to steal the thunder from the Conservatives. It was actually put through in the first budget put through after they had just won power. Whether or not it happens, well... we'll see. Fact still remains that there is a lot of money spent on the military, and people often don't see that. It isn't a second rate military by any standards.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned (or did I miss it?) that we might be suspicious of China's own ranking of itself. After all, China likes to downplay its power in order to assure others of its inclusion into the world economy.

China views itself as the next big hope (boss) of the 21st century, but they won't blow thier own trumpet (or take someone elses) until they are ready. Capitalists want to believe that they will be fine (because of the market), but the Chinese Government still has difficulty respecting the one Chinese leader who showed some promise towards being fair (Tianimin Square).

China will be a problem in the future unless they change their attitude, (Government not people), they will use nationalism to blunt the internal sword, but it just raises it up for use as a external force. Nationalism is a two edged sword, and it has taken historically a number of countries from small insignificant country to supra national despot (see past history), but that has never truly benefited others who were not their vassals.

I live today not yesterday, so it it the future that concerns me the most, not what has happened in the past, (except as examples of future possibilities). China is a future question and one that may benefit some to the exclusion of others, but fairness, justice and freedom of indiviudal choice is still very rare in thier country (to Gopher, (because I know you like to quote me as anti american) they worry me more than the potential of Global American hegemonic tyranny).

We know the pontential of certain countries today, China is still an enigma as much as it is a potential dark storm front on the horizon. Its just whether you can get out of the rain or change its direction that makes it a future point of discussion.

I served for 3 years, and I never got jewed like that. I may have had to jump through hoops, file paperwork and wait a year, but they gave me everything they promised me.
