Military budget squeeze limits paid Remembrance Day participation in Ontario

Ive never seen it this bad in my entire reserve career from the end of Afghanistan to now. I can confidently say morale is in the toilet ARes-wide. Lots of indispensable mid-level ranks (MCpl-WO, Lt) grumbling about releases lately. If things dont improve near-term I can see things getting hairy. Maybe thats exactly what NDHQ wants. Idk.

Sounds like disinformation. We're hiring 300,000 reserve reservists

Ho hum , it's just a bunch of reservists, It's not like we're talking about real people. You know like somebody important....
You know it almost like nobody at at NDHQ understands where they get those people who who fill in the gaps when you have to deploy say a battlegroup deploying to Latvia.
Or where you get bodies to deal with floods , ice storms , fires ...
And coures we all know the only people who are in trouble aren't the ones who are deciding how the pot gets divvied up.
I feel sorry for those who've spoke to the media
Anyone want to be that they spend more on investigating the leaks then it would have cost them to fork over the half day pay to those units.
Please somebody please tell me I'm just being cynical.
