Not really, but if that's what you need to believe that's fine.
The Liberal's began dismantling the Cold War forces in 1963-64 under Pearson. Paul Hellyer was actually the lead actor in that.
If you had any knowledge whatsoever about the Canadian military you would know that. But you don't, so you don't
The Liberals destroyed the Canadian military........and Trudeau Senior had a lead part in that. He hated the entire idea of NATO, and reduced Armed Forces numbers until we could not meet our NATO commitment.
He had literally nothing to do with force reduction. At the height of the Cold War the Canadian Forces was morbidly obese. ALthough the numbers are not ta my finger tips I believe the RCAF was about 180,000 at the end of the 1950s. It was ridiculous.
I get it now.
What you're really saying is that PET only had their budget cut to 1/100 (I don't have the actual numbers at my finger tips), he didn't actually help pack up the bases and move them into storage, ergo, he had little to do with the hands-on reduction
The reduction/unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in the 1960s was the Liberals - but not Trudeau in any big way. It was going on when he got there and continued after he left. The force reductions of the 1990s were also the liberals and also nothing to do with him.
There is a place for debts and deficits, but I think at the point where it becomes systemic, something needs to be changed.
Unfortunately, our current world economic system is way long past that point.

Debt, in and of itself, is not a bad thing when used properly.
What has become systemic (very descriptive word by the way) is that it is being sued as a vote-getter more than it is for constructive purposes.
It doesn't have to.
The fact that PET was the Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party of Canada means he had everything to do with it .Go back and read some Hansard from the time .
