“CAF – Canadian Armed Forces”

The sight of Prime Minister Mark Carney emerging from a South Korean submarine flying the Maple Leaf flag this week was symbolic of the urgency with which the prime minister appears intent on restoring the rusting Canadian Armed Forces.

Carney was in the country to attend the Asia-Pacific Co-operation summit and took the opportunity to visit the Hanwha Ocean shipbuilding facility in Geoje. The Hanwha Ocean company, with its partner Hyundai, is bidding for the multi-billion-dollar contract to build 12 subs to replace the four second-hand Victoria class boats that the Canadian government bought from the British in the 1990s.

The Canadian military has set in motion an initiative to increase the number of its part-time soldiers from the current 28,000 to 400,000 as part of an overall mobilization plan, according to a directive approved by senior leaders.

The directive, signed by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan and defence deputy minister Stefanie Beck on May 30, 2025, outlines the need to increase the current reserve force from 23,561 to 100,000 and supplementary and other reserves from the current 4,384 to 300,000.

Impossible! Even the most optimistic estimates declare a maximum of 200K Lesbians, transvestites and foreign terrorists in Canada.

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is struggling to recruit enough members to meet its operational requirements and does not have enough adequate housing for its members, according to two new reports by Canada’s Auditor General Karen Hogan.

Hogan’s Oct. 21 report said that on average, the CAF successfully recruited around one in every 13 applicants over the last three years.

“The armed forces also did not have sufficient basic training capacity to meet the demand if the recruitment targets had been met,” Auditor General Karen Hogan told the Public Accounts Committee on Oct. 21 while presenting her findings.

As 2025 nears its end, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) face a looming deadline: women are supposed to make up 25% of its ranks by 2026. Where did this 25% target come from, and why does it matter? Is it just an arbitrary target?

Have at it.

OTTAWA — The Department of National Defence and Canadian Forces are suing an intelligence watchdog to prevent it from releasing without further redactions a review that found that some of their human intelligence source handling activities may break the law.

In a lawsuit filed in late August, both federal bodies requested a Federal Court judge quash the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency’s (NSIRA) decision to release a redacted version of a 2023 review under access to information laws.

At last! Finally, we’re seeing some real nation-building by Prime Minister Mark Carney.

I’m referring, of course, to his decision to extend the national school lunch program.

This is an excellent way to ensure Canadian schoolchildren — who represent the future of our country — aren’t drifting off to sleep in class because they’re hungry. (An astounding 2.5 million Canadian children live in food-insecure households.)

The Star. Who else?

A new federal study suggests Canadians are wary of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s pledge to boost defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, with most respondents in focus groups reacting negatively to the proposal.

Blacklock’s Reporter says according to the Privy Council report, participants questioned whether such a rise was economically feasible, especially given other financial pressures like inflation and high living costs.

“Almost all reacted negatively to this idea,” the report said.

With only roughly one in 684 Canadians serving in the regular forces, thinking that the country could mount any meaningful deployment to either Ukraine or Gaza on short notice is reckless.

OTTAWA—Last week, at the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke at a conference about peace in Palestine and a two-state solution where he discussed Palestinian statehood.

It was not a surprise that Carney would commit Canada to help implement a two-state solution; however, it was a bit of a shocker that Carney would pledge the use of Canadian troops to help enforce such an agreement.
