This article is ridiculously weird. The global conflict has already arrived. Russia has invaded Ukraine. China’s war games around Taiwan and the rest of the Indo-Pacific, the US/Israel war in Iran … It’s important that Canada invests in its own defense industry and those of its allies, as someone has already said, rather than in buying from the US or China. But Canada has no other choice than investing in its defense.
Cool. Then you should really care about it done without corruption and waste, right?
Also, don’t you think that if the pro-peace crowd shuts the fuck up, and the only criticism of Carney’s policies comes from the Right then we would be entering a very hazardous territory, with the center being dragged ever rightward?
The article is incredibly useful from a systemic point of view because it allows us to calibrate the tension between maintaining and building security and the maintenance of internal democratic legitimacy. If you’re going to ask people to defend something, they get a say on what that something is supposed to be. People do get a say when the government goes all in on defence while cutting services. This is not a wartime command economy, nobody has said it is.
