    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Can we make Canada Post part of the CAF in order to stop them from striking all the time? I mean, they already use logistic unicorps.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Search and Rescue is a function of emergency preparedness/ emergency management. Emergency Management is conducted by every level of government, but not every level of government has search and rescue.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I guess we should also ask, why isn't the Coast Guard already part of the CAF. Given the size of our coastline, they should at the very least have a secondary military role either as a separate branch, or as a sub-commpont of the Navy.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    So if I understand this correctly, the CCG (maybe RCCG soon), is going to be part of DND, but not part of the CAF, so therefore not liable to the CSD?

    The vibe shift, end of "wokeness"?

    https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/general/pride-toronto-loses-corporate-sponsorships-ahead-of-festival/vi-AA1FWwRv?ocid=BingNewsVerp Seems to be pretty consistent with what is going on elsewhere. In reality, it would likely have needed to be scaled down significantly for next year, as the City...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Makes me wish that I was in the line of succession for a house. I'm surprised that we haven't started looking at multigenerational mortgages. I had someone make a comment to me that we should start building war houses again. It's a great idea, but it would never fly with the developers, if they...

    Feed children instead of training them for war

    So, a bit off topic, but I thought of this though the other day. Do we know how many former cadets join the CAF (not including CIC) each year?

    Boots on the ground

    I've been staff on multiple BMQ's where they weren't given ruck sacs. They used a small pack/duffle bag combination to move stuff around. Some of them even went out and bought surplus ones. At one point we didn't even have sleeping bags to give them, they were even taking sleeping bags away...

    Boots on the ground

    Your standards are pretty high if you think that recruits are getting ruck sacks.

    Taliban Nicknames

    I didn't go myself, but Haji was what I heard the most from people who came back, although, they were using the term for the majority of the population, not just the Taliban.

    Wearing of non recognized medals in EMS

    Unfortunately, many of these departments did not do their due diligence in drafting their uniform polices to ensure that they comply with established directions from the crown. There is nothing stopping these department and/or the provinces from establishing their own medals, as long as they...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Realistically, the United States is an elected monarchy from the 18th Century where the King has to regularly fight with parliament over control of the Kingdom.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I might be a fan of the US joining, if it were becoming an actual Commonwealth Realm, that is accepting King Charles as their Head of State and hopefully converting to the Westminster System. However, I don't think that that is going to happen.

    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    It's the same system that the majority of the English speaking world uses. The only thing that upsets me about it is how ignorant the majority of Canadians seem to be about how our government works. As far as changing anything, our constitution is so hard to change, it's basically written in...
