I'm reading this correct, the Trudeau government has funded the military higher than Harper?
They have. But the share spent on equipment has fallen effectively leading to rust out accelerating. Hence the crisis in the military.
Also, some of it is accounting magic, with the Liberals choosing to change definitions and refusing to report past spending with the same metrics.
Will add future promises aren't worth much. The previous Liberal defence policy has defence spending in the current year much higher than it actually is. Always easy to kick the can down the road with a new policy.
