“CAF – Canadian Armed Forces”

OTTAWA — Canada’s Catholic bishops are declaring a holy war against directives to Canada’s military chaplains banning prayer at public events.

In a statement posted this week, Most Rev. Scott McCaig, bishop of the Military Ordinariate of Canada, added his objections to the contentious late-July directive by Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) brass prohibiting faith-based prayers at official military ceremonies, instructing them instead to replace prayers with secular “spiritual reflections.”

So was CAF’s Lesbian Cross Dresser Brigade behind this?

Canada is moving quickly to secure a long-range strike system that has proved effective in the war in Ukraine, putting much of the country’s evolving defence-procurement strategy to the test.

The deep-precision strike (DPS) system that Canada is looking to buy from another country initially, and later develop in-house, is somewhere between a long-range one-way attack drone and a cruise missile.

It’s a mode of attack that several North Atlantic Treaty Organization members, including Canada, have identified an urgent need for based upon observations from the war in Ukraine. Germany and Norway are among the countries with companies leading in this field.

Canada’s air force will have to wait until the end of next year before it receives the first of four new air tankers critical to refuelling fighter jets in the Arctic.

The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has for the first time outlined the state of the CC-330 Husky fleet purchased to replace its aging Airbus 310s.

The wide-body jets are the backbone of the air force’s intercontinental fleet, flying troops and the prime minister around the globe.

OTTAWA — Back in February this year, over 11 days at a military base in Kingston, Ont., the Canadian Army was at war.

At least, it pretended it was.

The “division-level war game” that played out that month simulated — on computer screens, whiteboards, and tabletop battle maps — what it would be like to fight a “high-intensity conflict against a peer adversary,” the military explained in a subsequent statement.

Ottawa’s decision to slash its troop contribution to United Nations missions is sparking concern that the cuts will undermine Canada’s new Africa strategy and jeopardize its longstanding peacekeeping traditions.

By the middle of next year, the Department of National Defence says, Canada will withdraw its peacekeepers from UN missions in Congo, South Sudan, Kosovo and Cyprus and sharply reduce its role in a multinational mission in the Sinai.

Two active-duty Canadian military chaplains are questioning why Christian prayer and other faith practices are banned during addresses by military personnel at official ceremonies while indigenous spiritual practices are exempted, saying it amounts to a double standard.

“I do not understand why First Nations are exempt from this policy. This is obviously a double standard,” said one chaplain who asked to remain anonymous because he is currently serving.

“Some faith traditions are apparently more equal than others.”
