I’m not sure there is a single positive comment.
“CAF – Canadian Armed Forces”
Military starves while federal bureaucracy feasts
Canadian soldiers were sent to Poland last October, with more sent in February and March. In all, there are about 100 Canadian soldiers in Poland. They are there as part of Operation Unifier to train Ukrainian forces in “battlefield tactics and advanced military skills.”
But the Canadian Armed Forces didn’t send a cook with them. Our soldiers were told to eat out at local restaurants and turn in their receipts to be paid back.
Except they aren’t being reimbursed. Like seemingly everything else in the federal government, there is a months-long backlog in processing their expense claims.
Battle looms between Canadian defence officials, decision-makers after federal budget
OTTAWA – A battle is brewing between Canadian defence officials and federal decision-makers as the Trudeau government looks for ways to save billions of dollars over the next few years.
Experts say last week’s budget and the delays in a planned update to the defence policy are signs of this pending conflict, with ramifications for Canada’s military and its international reputation.
Oh well so long as they have budget to promote sexual mutilation fetishists they’ll do just fine.
Canadian troops in Poland not being reimbursed for meals
Canadian troops in Poland are having to buy their own food but aren’t being reimbursed, causing hardships for their families back home.
The Canadian soldiers are in Poland to train Ukrainian military personnel but since Canada did not send military cooks on the mission, the troops were told to eat at local restaurants.
But there is a massive backlog with the Canadian Forces reimbursing the soldiers for those costs, sending some of them thousands of dollars into debt. Their families contacted this newspaper to complain about the situation they say is causing financial stress at home.
So what’s the issue? Did they have a make-up supply emergency for the tranny Brigade and needed bucks in a hurry? Or did they go native and start embezzling funds from the military? Or did Justin need the money for his 6K a night hotel?
And the CAF wonders at their recruiting shortfalls.

Sad Sacks …
Just what Canada needs – a Grievance Monger Army! I hear the PLA is hiring or did Justin already sign you up. https://t.co/PcTiItd5C3

Nearly 30% of Canada’s Leopard 2 Tank Fleet Will Be Out of Commission Between 2023 and 2026: Federal Records
Nearly 30 percent of the Canadian Army’s fleet of Leopard 2 main battle tanks, which number 74 in total, will be out of commission due to required maintenance for about three years starting this May, according to newly released federal records.
All 20 of the Canadian Army’s Leopard 2A6M fleet are set to undergo a “planned repair, overhaul, and turret conversion” in New Brunswick that the Department of National Defence (DND) says will not be completed until 2026, according to an Inquiry of Ministry tabled by cabinet in the House of Commons on March 20.
3 Years Of Required Maintenance? What if this was the middle of a war?
Thousands of military members to be cut off as Ottawa introduces expanded housing benefit
After working on it for almost a decade and a half, the Department of National Defence (DND) is rolling out a new benefit to help military members deal with the high cost of housing — but it’s not going over very well with everyone.
Military members learned at a virtual town hall Tuesday that a new, highly-anticipated housing benefit is coming in July. It’s meant to help lower-ranking members cope with steep housing costs in dozens of additional Canadian locations.
But not everyone is getting it. The military estimates the new policy will mean roughly 7,700 military members who have been receiving a monthly housing allowance will soon be cut off. That news sparked an angry online backlash from those who say they will receive less than before.
Canada’s Military Must Strive to Become An ‘Anti-Racist Organization’: National Defence
Canada’s military shows racial discrimination through its policies and “power dynamics,” and must strive to become an “anti-racist organization” while recognizing the presence of “white privilege,” says the Department of National Defence (DND).
“Racism and discrimination still manifests in our workplaces through bias, privilege, policies and power dynamics,” reads a DND report titled “Guide To Courageous Conversations On Racism And Discrimination,” obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
Not a good look for an organization that relies on “white privileged males” to do the fighting and dying.
I remain stumped by their recruiting crisis and the reasons why they can’t recruit white men any longer.
Liberals impose a culture of wokeism on the Canadian Armed Forces
The purpose of the military is to protect Canada. This is a key detail that seems to be lost on Defence Minister Anita Anand, who has led the Canadian Armed Forces into a “culture change” that looks more like a Marxist cultural revolution focused on identity rather than class.
This point was made obvious with the publication of the Department of National Defence’s “Anti-racism toolkit.” The toolkit contains propaganda intended to be used to instruct Canadian servicemembers about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Canadian military likely lacks capacity to lead Haiti mission: Gen. Wayne Eyre
Canada’s top general said he was concerned that the country’s armed forces, which are already stretched thin by support for Ukraine and NATO, do not have the capacity to lead a possible security mission to Haiti.
Haiti’s government and top United Nations officials have called for an international force to support Haitian police in their struggle against gangs, which have become the de facto authorities in parts of the country.
The newly acquired vehicles of the Pride Parade Float Brigade have been plagued by mechanical breakdowns and morale is described as Bitchy.
Canadian Armed Forces redefines ‘racist’ to include pretty much everyone alive
The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has put out a new “anti-racism” document that defines a racist as anyone who is not willing to engage in self-reflection to see just how racist they really are.
They’re still working hard to understand why no one wants to sign up for such a fecked up organization.
Canadian military will get new tanks to replace Leopards going to Ukraine … sure they will
Canada will be purchasing additional tanks to replace the ones being sent to Ukraine, Defence Minister Anita Anand said.
Her comment comes on the heels of an announcement Friday that Canada will be sending an additional four Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine, bringing the total number of tanks being sent by the government to the embattled country to eight.
I have zero confidence in replacements ever being purchased in less than a decade.
Behind the Agenda to Rid Canada’s Military Chaplaincy of Traditional Faith Groups
… In terms of Christianity, recommendation 6.1 of the government’s “Re-Defining Chaplaincy” document is a direct attack on conservative Lutherans, historic Roman Catholics, and other Biblically-based and conservative denominations, who they no longer wish to employ. The claim is that traditional church bodies that, say, do not ordain women or accept the homosexual lifestyle are sexist and homophobic is unsubstantiated, ignorant, and absurd.
Canadian Forces looking into role of military personnel involved with the ‘Mriya Report’ linked to the Ukraine focused charity ‘Mriya Aid’
Commentators on the Mriya Report, created by Canadian Forces Capt. Joseph Friedberg, denounced the Ukrainians who had raised concerns about some of the activities of the Ottawa-based charity Mriya Aid.
The Canadian Forces is looking into the role of military personnel in a fundraising group that has threatened to sue a Ukrainian medic and has launched online attacks on those raising questions about donations to Ukraine.
