Military sounding alarm over recruiting problems as Canadians steer clear
OTTAWA — The Canadian Armed Forces is sounding the alarm over a severe shortage of recruits to fill thousands of vacant positions, with the shortfall so bad that senior officers are now calling it a crisis.
… Brodie was unable to say whether the push for diversity is hurting more than helping, at least in terms of sheer numbers, by turning off the military’s traditional recruiting pool: young, white men.
“We can’t measure the impact of that right now. It’s too early,” she said. “But to be very, very clear ⦠we want suitable candidates, and suitable candidates are those that first and foremost reflect the values of the Canadian Armed Forces.”
A shortage of white males volunteering to serve? Why could that be?
Maybe the government and schools should stop denigrating their heritage and calling them genocidal racists for starters. After all their forebears have done most of the building, fighting and dying for this country since 1867.
Does anyone recall the reluctance of Quebecers to fight in “English” wars?
Well now Canada has many little Quebec’s.
I believe the government’s reckless mass immigration policy has succeeded in turning Canada into a balkanized hodgepodge of disconnected tribes with greater loyalty to their “homelands” than Canada. Khalistan anyone? China anyone? Tamil Tigers anyone? Palestine anyone? I can’t see much incentive for a white male to risk his life for that.
We are not as Trudeau claimed the world’s first “Post – National State”, we are the world’s first “Fifth Columnist State.”
If they’re looking for recruits that reflect the values of the Canadian Armed Forces I hear a teacher in Oakville may be looking for a new career. Does CAF do custom uniform fittings?
