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

The Koreans just picked the Global with the Conformal AEW.


They also have proposals for a whole ISR family based on the Global. This is how we should support Canadian industry and get the CAF actual world class capability.

Presumably they’ll be hiring retired CAF techs who are already long established and will be double dipping on a pension.
 
Which really doesnt fit the cost of living in that area
And yet, there are literally hundreds of thousands of people living within an hour, many/most making less.

Recruiting civilians living local to a base isnt the same as transfering in transient service members that have to start from scratch

That's not necessarily a sustainable business model. "I will pay you less than market wages because you're ex military" isn't a way to attract the best and brightest, so much as those lacking other options.

Pretty much every employer on a CAF base offering easy pre-requisites for retired members.
 
Asylum seekers who enter into canada illegally, that is not at recognized border crossings, often become refugees.

The average asylum claim (including those poor souls leaving war ravaged Vermont) is 24 months. Appeals and such can be up to an extra year or more.
At $6700 per person per day (used for hotel fees and 3x meals a day) thats $160,000 (for 2 years).
That's not including a bunch incidentals.

Once they become refugees their support drops to welfare level. $800-$1000 a month.

Our seniors get Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Suppliment (GIS) at around $1800 per month. Plus whatever their CCP is.


It would be nice to give our seniors that $6700 per month for 2 years for food and lodging.
They arent given a cot and 3 hots on the taxpayer dime, thats propaganda. Source: I work with refugees civvie side.

I'm a little confused.

Are you saying asylum seekers aren't put up in hotels and given 3 meals?

Or refugees aren't given monetary assistance that's similar to welfare once they recieve refugee status?

The majority of asylum seekers are inland so theyre here already working, studying or what not. They are given work permits at their eligibility sessions if eligible and are sent home to fend for themselves until their RPD hearing. They work, pay taxes, etc. They may receive welfare depending on their financials but they are not receiving 160k a year in food and shelter benefits. Also, they dony receive money by virtue of being a convention refugee, they can receive welfare if below the income threshold but any assistance is terminated once they make enough money, just like any PR or citizen.
