Canada's Military May Remove Ships From Service, Paper Reports Aug. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Canada's military may remove its destroyer ships and one-fourth of its fighter jets from service to pay for a campaign pledge by the ruling Liberal Party to form a 5,000-person ``peacekeeping brigade,'' the...

Yard Ape                       you are right on the money. We  you are talking about a liberal government here.  They want Canadian to think we can do everything everywhere.  they just don't put the money down in investment and time to maintain a well balance armed forces.  the only thing i...

well we have to wait till October to see if the Conservative party can put some heat on the liberals lack of money and broken promises. Keeping fingers crossed hoping that the minority government does not last two years or longer. forget about creating a new brigade we need new soldiers for the...

Save your money for the next couple years and move to Australia at least they have a plan that they are following.This liberal gov has one thing on there mind how to fool the Canadian people into voting them in again and again and again.  It is all about health care.  Well if we don't have a...

no defence review no extra money for new troops. find money that we don't have nice :threat:  Well i guess we should start getting in line to  become American citizens.  No defence = no country.  Canada is on a long and slow road to a failed state.  Just keep voting in the liberals and we soon...

I found a website that shows some numbers  ;D http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/dsnews/179nd1.htm

How many bases do the US have in Germany? :) I would think they have room to cut there

i think they need to go to high schools more. talk to the graduating classes. I know that they show up at colleges and universities.  They need to be more aggressive in there approach. Show then what life can be like for them in the CF.

If they are serious about increasing the numbers in the CF. They will have to start leaving more experienced troops at home so they can train new soldier's.  when my father joined in the early 60's they started with 84 recruits every two weeks and about a 1/3 would not make it. How many do they...

The last paragraph in the article says it all.

cool game shouldn't be to hard for a Canadian version to be created. ;D

In the winter the best is a cup of English toffee and a toasted bagel with butter. ;D That is heaven to me

the hard part would be getting the government to buy the seahawks that the US navy has. :)

If they can not handle the training then they should not have enlisted.If i join i would be 33 and i know you have to be fit to handle the stuff that they throw at you.  I guess they did not understand what the recruiter told them about life in CF.  they should join the Public Service if they...

They also i think need to have a bear trap so they will be able to land helo's in bad weather. cheers.

Ex-Dragoon you are right about the cyclone being a good helo for the new OPV.  It all depends on the size of the new OPV's.  Now all they have to do is build a OPV with the requirements for the cyclone. I will keep my fingers crossed. ;D

I think it will be the MBB-105 that the coast guard is using now.  they want the crews to be a mix of navy and coast guard that is what i think i read in a newspaper article. cheers

Yes we all know it is going downhill but do we had any idea's to fix it. :)
