    What a moronic point of view. Would you rather let our enemies roll over us? To think we aren’t in serious danger right now displays a total lack of awareness. What i want to see and tracked is Canada not spending money in the US.

      Yeah, it’s an impressively poor article.

      Public bidding/contracts are notorious for all sorts of shenanigans. Many governments have faces this problem. Insisting we get that sorted perfectly, a problem no government in the world seems to have tackled, before bracing ourselves islile refusing to wear a helmet until they make on that stops cars from hitting you.

      Cool. Then you should really care about it done without corruption and waste, right? Because that’s what about half of this long article is about.

        Absolutely. But, if the choice is doing it with corruption and waste versus talking about how to do it without, and not actually doing it, I’m going to have to come down the side of the former. So how, specifically, do we do it without corruption and waste, immediately?

          I don’t know, I’m just a citizen. My civics education tells me that holding the government’s feet to the fire with critical articles like this one should have some effect by creating a public sphere where the government doesn’t have the cover of obscurity. Informed citizenry and all that.
