In light of the election results, I thought you might find it useful to have all the news releases the Conservatives issued during the campaign dealing with defence to allow you to reach your own conclusions whether the promises have been kept (keeping in mind the platform was likely developed with a majority government in mind). As usual, all comments or suggestions welcome at tony@milnews.ca.
