I knew this would be written by Murray Brewster before even opening the link. CBC pays him a fat salary to shit out three articles per week with the thesis that Canada needs to spend 50% of its GDP on the military. A total fucking hack.

Dear Canadian government: if I get drafted, lots of really expensive military equipment might start mysteriously failing at unfortunate times. Such as brake lines on officers' vehicles. I'm not saying I'd claim responsibility for such unfortunate accidents. There's lots of clumsy people. Could be anyone that's mentally distracted by the stress of the whole situation which in turn leads to carelessness and neglect because their mind isn't on their job.
