Canadian Parliament passes Military Bill!
In Ottawa today, the Canadian Parliament has passed a bill that will allow the Canadian military to expand to keep up with the rest of the world, and also to aid our allies in their time of need. Similarly, Naval and Air Force bills have also been passed, which will keep Canada's armed forces equal in proportion to each other.
The Army bill allows:
- The raising of 60,000 additional regular troops and an additional 200,000 reserves.
- The purchasing and construction of an additional 200 Tanks, 200 APC's and 200 Artillery pieces, which will allow for a total of 3 additional mechanized divisions.
The Naval bill allows:
- The construction of 2 Iroquois Class Destroyers, 6 Halifax Class Destroyers and 7 Oberon Class Submarines for our navy.
- The leasing of a foreign shipyard, preferrably US or German, for the construction of a carrier and several air defense frigates.
The Air Force bill allows:
- The construction of an additional 144 CF18 Fighters for national defense.
