What a crock of BS. Especially from liar liar Blair. The same guy that threw his own under the bus following G20, then wormed his way into Minister of public safety, then lied about the sources of guns in gun crimes…..when the problem was and still is…Gangs that smuggle them in.

Sadly a lot of people have short memories and will still swallow his and their BS. If those clips are recent, clearly the death throes of a government grasping at and for any heart strings and trying to leverage the fears of war in the Ukraine.

“they are asking for more than we can give”
We’re going to abandon sovereign rights in the Artic
And
Federal government looking to cut $1 billion from National Defence budget

If they do, we'll see a sudden increase in "rapid onset gender dysphoria" among military aged "bodies with penises".
Doubt the Canadian army cares.

And this isn't a political issue, simply a sign of the times and the case in every modern country. Not many people would have the military as their first choice of career.

They care. If you listen to the vids, it tells you we have agreements and expectations to fulfill with NATO.

You also have to keep in mind, the military does a lot of humanitarian work as well. It's not all about blowing things up.

Just bring back conscription.
Shows how your mind thinks.

I'd suggest the CAF make it an attractive career and workplace.

As it stands now there seem to be four paths. One is having high academics and familial military connections and getting into the Royal Military College. Officer career path and then out tp private industry once you serve your obligation. Another is having a high desire for the Air Force or Navy. Problem there is the lack of aircraft and washing most pilots out. Third is that of just getting a low paying support position and last is the tattooed wannabe bullies who all want to be Special Operators. Not all can.

Canada does indeed have top notch pilots, sailors, and special operators. But the structure and names of these are stupid and suffer serious identity crisis. FFS, Special Op's has a classically Canadian name-by-committee ...CANSOFCOM ! :ROFLMAO:

Nah, Canada could have a great, tight military with even more (incredible) people. They just have to re-assess and reimagine the Forces as well as make it a good career that pays almost private sector wages/

Just my Keyboard General opinion!

Too bad @DinkleMouse hasn't been around to comment.

What say you @Ceiling Cat ? How do you see things since the Balkan War?

That’s all great except.
we wouldn’t last 3 days against the U.S. Especially snowflakes in the gta afraid of guns and get their hands dirty, get their own meat/fish/poulty/veggies. Uneducated red necks will.

Given Liberals already can’t stop the flow of guns, opioids, and………. irregular immigrants………..

The U.S. has for decades been trying to lay claim to the North West passage over our sovereign rights in international courts. Sometimes possession is 9/10s and Liberals are cutting 1B, openly admitting they want nothing to do with oil and mineral rights.

The last time he was in and went all Maga, Liberal Canada buckled under numerous trade disputes…

if he wins and goes all Maga again. Tax policies there will likely see even more people and companies that pay the bills and debt interest leave for Greener pastures and capital bleed under Liberals with 1/2 a brain is already really bad.

So I’m curious how you all think Liberals with 1/2 a brain will protect us. No doubt the Donald will be happy to sing kumbaya with ya’ll

Typical of you. Like the environment and war in gaza. You sit in safety from your armchair and let others do the heavy lifting.

And while in some distant future I wouldn’t discount the possibility of the US annexing us. For fresh water and resources. You clearly don’t give two shits about the damage you doing to well over 20% of the worlds supply. Nor our sovereignty

As always, you never fail to disappoint FFs

You really have no clue.
Living in a city takes less resources than your urban lifestyle.
You probably use more groundwater and have a septic system that is screwing your own property.

You didn't even know about the sixth great extinction yet claim to understand the environment and climate.
Just like you don't understand what's going on with global temps and oceans.

If you did, you'd be screaming that everyone should be vegan and buy heat pumps.

...
If you looked, you'd see my post was about the claims that people will claim trans status to avoid conscription. The Canadian military has become far more accepting and if we ever got to the point where conscription was needed, trans soldiers wouldn't be an out.

Typical gun nuts are always trying to push irrational fears as a justification for owning guns. The chance of the US invading is microscopic even compared to the risk of a home invasion but I'm sure your Red Dawn role playing will help you be the hero that saves Canada.

p.s. I'm sure that with with close to half of the province's population in the GTA, more than a few are hunters with registered long guns.

Says the keyboard warrior who.

-Won’t walk with Pro Palestinian protestors in his own hood.

-Won’t get a fingernail dirty for the environment in his own hood

-wouldn’t know how to grow, or harvest, nor clean and prepare his own food. He just pays butchers so his hands aren’t bloody and farmers to do it for him. Wouldn’t even get his fingernails dirty composting kitchen waste over winter in his glass house…would you like a picture and a how to?


-Has no clue nor cares to know what he is pissing and shitting in, nor its importance

-Doesn’t know why Voles are important when fields get razed for parking lots.

-Has no clue what riparian zones are, nor their importance

-Has no clue about what is starting forest fires

-Can’t grasp why floods are getting worse

-Has no clue where wind farms are

-Can’t even think about the billions of tons of salt taken from the environment every winter because you don’t know how drive or walk to your door without tripping over your shoelaces, and falling on your face.

-Has no clue that before industrialization and paving paradise for parking lots. The world was greener, the air and water cleaner. Want to compare the Don river to any within 200km of me. Or the air in your jungle vs mine. Has no clue I can see stars at night, smell flowers all day instead of a stinking cesspool. you can’t even turn on dim lightbulbs.

-doesn’t know the difference between deficits and debt, or rural and urban lifestyles. Has never actually been outside a concrete, gridlocked, 20 minute idling wait for cup of coffee asphalt, steel and glass jungle…never mind
Living in a city takes less resources than your urban lifestyle.
-reads Twit er for his enlightenment vs real news and books.

Nor much of anything. FFs

Doesn’t even grasp the GTA is to Canada, what China is to the world. But he sure does whine about a lot, and has the wee stones to tell others they should live greener, do more from his paper thin do nothing, do as I say, not as I do glass house that had no legs to stand on.
