The Liberals are finally getting things right on national defence under Carney

For all the ills former prime minister Justin Trudeau left his successor to face, the defence file has been a surprising bright spot.

What makes this all the more remarkable is the fact that just 30 months ago, the then-head of the Royal Canadian Navy took to YouTube to declare that his team and equipment were in a “critical state.” At any other moment in the last 50 years, Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee’s political masters would have punished him for daring to share his unvarnished message.

Not sure I share the author’s premise. Carney is great at pronouncements but when it comes to delivery not so much.
