Stolen Valour Sajjan

… According to a statement from Sajjan’s office, the minister then forwarded the request “along with his endorsement” to Minister of National Defence Bill Blair, who passed the request onto the CAF.

“Minister Sajjan agreed the concert would be a good opportunity for the Canadian Armed Forces to engage with and expand connect to a diverse community of young Canadians, along the lines of the CAF outreach and recruiting events at professional sporting events,” Sajjan’s press secretary Joanna Kanga told CBC News in an email.”

CAF is how you say in English Fecked?

Canada’s armed forces are ready for emergency pronoun deployment under battlefield conditions.

Recommendation #32: In fulfilling her responsibility in approving General Officer and Flag Officer (GOFO) promotions, the Minister should be assisted by a senior civilian advisor, not currently a member of the Defence Team. In her consultation with the CDS, the Minister should examine what efforts are being made to correct the over-representation of white men in GOFO ranks.

Recommendation #36: The CAF should establish a system of progressive targets for the promotion of women in order to increase the number of women in each rank, with a view to increasing the proportion of their representation in the GOFO ranks above their level of representation in the overall CAF workforce.

WTF? No wonder they have a recruiting crisis.

New DND strategy warns Canadian military’s approach to artificial intelligence ‘fragmented’

Canada’s defence department and military are approaching the implementation and use of artificial intelligence in a “fragmented,” unco-ordinated manner, says a newly prepared federal strategy.

The long-awaited overview of how to deal with rapidly evolving machine-learning technology is being met with mixed reviews by some high-tech and civil society experts who had been expecting more clarity on where the country stands and how far it’s prepared to go.

The strategy is candid, saying neither the Department of National Defence (DND) nor the Canadian Armed Forces is “positioned to adopt and take advantage of AI.”

Canada downplays cost of meeting NATO spending mark as $60-billion projection will need to rise

Although the Liberal government has placed an annual price tag of $60-billion on its commitment to spend two per cent of Canada’s GDP on defence by 2032, unless a boost is on the way, it will still likely fall short when the goalposts funds needed to reach the NATO-sanctioned metric shift.

Canada is unlikely to meet the spending standard first agreed to in 2014 based on its own projections as it is relying on international forecasts for its GDP to guide its defence-spending commitment.

There’s a price to pay for being unready for war. Will Canada have to pay it again?

A little more than 18 years ago, amid the dust and hard heat of Kandahar Airfield, the weary look on Col. Ian Hope’s face spoke more loudly than his words.

It was the spring of 2006 and the Canadian contingent in Afghanistan had just been through several brutal weeks. More than half a dozen Canadian soldiers had been killed in roadside bombings. As it turned out, it was the beginning of a bloody, unrelenting wave of casualties that would rend the heart of a nation and seize the political agenda in ways the Conservative government of the day never expected.

New chief of the defence staff warns of 5-year timeline to counter Russia, China threats with DEI GenderForce or something silly like that

Trudeau DEI hire

Thirty-five years after women gained the right to participate in combat roles with the military, Gen. Jennie Carignan has made history by becoming the first female to lead

the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), officially taking on the role following a ceremony in Ottawa on Thursday.

“Not only do I feel ready, but I also feel very well supported,” Carignan said in a speech at the ceremony.

Link Fixed

Our armed forces will soon be comprised of 5th Columnist foreigners and other DEI hires as white males no longer consider military service a viable career option.

I doubt China and Russia fear us.

Michael Taube: It’s up to Pierre Poilievre to clean up Trudeau’s NATO mess

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) set a target in 2014 for member states to earmark two per cent of their national GDP for defence spending, noting that allies below this level would “aim to move towards” reaching the guideline “within a decade.”

Of the 31 NATO member states, only one still hasn’t met this reasonable target. Take a wild guess as to which country it is.

Canada undershot military equipment spending each year since 2016, while half of military vehicles aren’t fit to deploy

While Justin Trudeau faced sharp scrutiny from world leaders and domestic analysts towards past and planned defence spending at the recent NATO summit, The Hub found that Canada’s spending on military equipment and national defence is far below previous projections, resulting in arguably the worst recent spending record of NATO members.

GUNTER: Beefing up Canada’s military an overdue necessity

CAF Tampon Brigade

Canada is a sovereign nation.

Yet we are a sovereign nation that lacks the military capacity to be of much help to its allies, much less defend its home soil against a foreign attack.

We have among the best soldiers, sailors and aircrews in the world. The problem is weak political leadership.

CAF culture is now more RuPaul than “Ready Aye Ready” it will take years to remove the rot Trudeau has infested the services with.

Canada confirms plan to replace submarine fleet at NATO summit

The timing of the announcement could be an attempt to blunt criticism of Ottawa’s defence spending

Canada definitely plans to move forward with the purchase of new submarines, the federal government announced on the margins of the NATO Summit on Wednesday.

Up to now, the government has spoken only about the possibility of replacing the aging Victoria-class boats. But in the face of mounting criticism of Canada’s defence spending by allies — notably the United States — Ottawa has given the proposal the green light.

A senior government official, speaking on background, said they could not confirm how much the plan will cost, how many boats will be purchased or when they will arrive.

I smell bullshit.

Stoltenberg: NATO Will No Longer ‘Strive For’ 2 Percent, It Will Be a Requirement

WASHINGTON–NATO leadership is working to ensure that all 32 of its member states meet a minimum defense expenditure annually.

Speaking to a forum of international defense industry leaders on July 9, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance’s ambition to spend 2 percent of GDP on defense will be considered a requirement rather than an aspiration.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Trudeau taking the heat from NATO allies for cheaping out on defence spending

Canada is a cheapskate. We’re that friend who always “forgets” their wallet when they join you for dinner, who never splits the bill evenly because they “only had an appetizer,” who never treats their pals to a round but always drinks when someone else buys. Most us have had friends like this, and after a while, you stop inviting them out, leaving them to stare at the walls of their studio apartments alone.
