The world is increasingly dangerous. Canada’s prosperity and sovereignty are under mounting threat from climate shocks, economic protectionism, ideological extremism, and predatory great powers. In this fraught security environment, our Canadian Armed Forces need smart and agile recruits who can leverage new battlefield technologies, navigate socio-cultural ambiguity, and respond quickly and strategically to threats.

But even after hitting a 10-year high in recruitment last year, the CAF is short roughly 14,000 personnel, and it is unlikely to meet Ottawa’s goal of achieving 25-per-cent female participation by next year.


Take away – Boys are bad. More girls needed and I’ll assume trannies are welcome.
