No, No and once more NO more money is being spent by Gord on defence. He is using that wonderful new Labour tactic of repeating a promise he made in 2001 to increase defence spending by 3%. If you say in 2001 I am increasing spending by X% and repeat it in 2004 then there is NO INCREASE of 6% just the 3 that was promised then - which would not have filtered down to stuff to use in the desert by the pongoes. Tony and Gord have made this an art form whenever a bold new initiave is announced
