.... an admirable if somewhat unrealistic state affairs since it is the military who do most of the killing, and the dying is often shared by military and civilian alike, often disproportionately.
Let the "Fortunate Son" go down this "silver spoon in hand" path of flowers. It leads to blue berets which often morph to green and tan anyway (R2P). If a Canadian service person is killed or injured because he/she is outgunned or inadequately armoured, then the above stated aversion principle will demonstrate the flaw in the logic.
This is a majority democratically elected government, one cannot change the course they are on because they believe very strongly that they have the support to go down this path. And the facts may show they do have such support right up until the dying starts again, at which point both the opposition and the military leadership will have no choice but to stand up to the concept of demilitarization. That last point was ongoing under Harper, I believe the only difference between him and the (Prime) Minister of Marihuana is how quickly it will happen.
