Afternoon Drive with Jeff & Carly

A CBC investigation has revealed that Canada’s military exports have tripled over the past seven years, making our country the sixth-largest supplier of military goods to the planet.  Oh, I get it - we’re trying to fake everyone out, to ensure they’re as outdated as we are.  Maybe we should focus on supplying our own military first, so we don’t turn up in the desert wearing woodland camouflage or end up piloting leaky, hand-me-down submarines (thanks, Britain!).  I’m not a warmonger, but I do think we owe it to our military to outfit them with the requisite paraphernalia when we send them on a mission.  There’s nothing like being the kid who shows up to school on the first day with a Hilroy notebook when everyone else has a ThinkPad.  I do miss those Laurentian pencil crayons, though…
