Re the 300,000 and organization.

I. Recruit the 300,000 willing.
2. Organize them after they have been recruited and their skills and availability evaluated.

That makes zero sense.

You need to know what you need in order to recruit and train.

300k is an enormous jump for the CAF.
A lot of effort needs to be put into to planning what to do with that number of personnel.
Lot of infrastructure and equipment will need to be acquired and planned out even before the first recruit is sworn in.

Then you loose 299,999 of those people because as always the money for wages will dry up, no rifles/ equipment to train with, no trucks to drive, no fuel to put into the trucks and the list goes on and on. Then you have 299,999 people telling 4 or 5 others how much of a crap show it is and now you are into over a million people with credible knowledge of how bad it is. You might end up with a 20,000 of that million saying it cant be that bad. Until they try it out themselves and decide wow this sucks.

Sorry but it is time the Canadian Military either gets serious or hands the keys over to the US or other allies for our defense. I hear Greenland is nice this time of Year.
