Rampant and open drug use, weapons and violence have become commonplace in B.C. hospitals since drug decriminalization was enacted, thereby threatening the safety of both patients and front-line health workers says the British Columbia Nurses Union (BCNU).

This past week the Liberal government which recently declared it would cut $1-billion from military spending released its long overdue defence policy named Our North, Strong and Free: A Renewed Vision for Canada's Defence. 

The new policy is exploring spending many $-billions spread out over years in order to provide the CAF with equipment ranging from submarines, helicopters, ships, missile systems, modern artillery and long range air and sea lauched missiles. - More CAF members will be recruited (we're approximately 16K short at present) in order to create a credible fighting and defence force.  

Canada's annual defence spending is required to be 2% of GDP under NATO agreement. The new spending will still not reach that 2% of GDP requirement/commitment and our NATO allies are not pleased.

Guest: Lt. General Guy Thibault. Former Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff (ret'd). - Chair: Conference of Defence Associations Institute.
