Canada’s military has been actively pushing a woke pro-LGBT agenda on the world stage, with the latest example being its deployment of “task force gender advisors” internationally in war-hit nations, such as Haiti and Ukraine.
The “gender advisors” initiative is noted in the 2024 Departmental Report of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). This has resulted in it drawing a sharp rebuke from veterans who wonder why the military is spending money on pushing the LGBT agenda abroad.
Less than a third of Canadian military members surveyed by the armed forces feel that organization provides a reasonable quality of life for them and their families, according to a new defence department report.
The latest version of DND’s departmental results report showed the number of military staff who have positive views of the Canadian Forces as an employer continues to drop.
When you openly discriminate against your primary recruitment pool and install Checkbox Weirdos in their place you may find you have a dysfunctional organization on your hands.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre isn’t just promising to spend more money on Canada’s military, he’s promising to change the culture.

In an exclusive interview with the Toronto Sun last week, Poilievre said he wants to eradicate the woke culture forced into the Canadian Armed Forces by the Trudeau Liberals.
“We will rebuild our military, and our soldiers will once again, have a warrior culture, not a woke culture,” Poilievre said.
As we enter the holiday period, “peace” is very much top of mind. The Finnish celebrate “Christmas Peace” each year to formally announce the beginning of the season. Dating from the 13th century, the tradition encourages people to be respectful and kind: harsher penalties were once imposed on criminals for offences during the Christmas Peace. It is too bad that only one part of the year is used to remind us of the importance of peace. It should be something we pray for all year round.
The percentage of navy and army equipment that is supposed to be ready for training and operations has continued to decline, warns a new report from the Department of National Defence.
A lack of money and staff as well as aging equipment were the cause of the problems, according the Departmental Results Report 2023-2024. “There is a risk that DND/CAF may have difficulty maintaining its materiel capabilities at the right level to support operations,” the report, released Dec. 17, pointed out.
The Canadian Armed Forces has been deploying “gender advisors” to international operations, including in Ukraine and Haiti, as part of a broader push to integrate gender ideology into military activities abroad.
This initiative, highlighted in the Department of National Defence’s recently released 2024 Departmental Report, is drawing sharp criticism from veterans and observers who question its relevance during active conflicts and humanitarian crises.
Pretty sure our armed forces need to be shut down and rebuilt from the ground up.

In just a few weeks, Santa and his reindeer will cross the North Pole and fly through the Canadian Arctic. And they may well not be alone, though the Canadian Armed Forces proudly tracking the sleigh could easily miss the other stuff. So at the risk of asking that more be loaded into his sack than can reasonably be delivered, I request a working military for Christmas.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his fellow provincial leaders are united in pushing for Canada to meet its NATO defence spending targets ahead of schedule, and that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was “surprised” to hear it.
Ford — currently chair of the Council of the Federation of Canada’s Premiers — told CTV Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an exclusive Canadian broadcast interview airing Sunday that the premiers are making the ask amid U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s threats of new tariffs, and conveyed it to the prime minister in his meeting with the premiers last week.
If there’s one thing Canada’s premiers have always agreed on, it’s that the federal government needs to respect provincial jurisdiction.
If there’s a second thing they now agree on, it’s that (notwithstanding their belief that governments should mind their own business) the federal government should spend substantially more on national defence — not least because doing so might appease the incoming president of the United States.
“He wants us to meet our 2 per cent NATO spending commitment,” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said in an interview with the CBC’s Power & Politics on Tuesday, referring to Donald Trump.
OTTAWA — The Canadian military’s infrastructure in the Arctic is “limited and deteriorating” and will soon reach a “rust-out” stage unless action is taken to stop it from getting worse, according to a new first-of-its-kind evaluation of the armed forces’ operations in the region.
The report from the Department of National Defence raises concerns about a lack of strategic direction for the military in the Arctic that could hamper future planning. It describes shortages of personnel and resources that require the Canadian Armed Forces to rely heavily on contractors for planes and over-the-snow vehicles for its largest annual exercise in the region. It also highlights how aging northern radar stations leave gaps for detecting potential threats that aren’t set to be addressed until new infrastructure is ready in the early 2030s.
Vladimir Putin made it clear that NATO’s bases in Eastern Europe are on his radar, when he said last week that Russia reserves the right to strike the alliance’s military installations .
The words must have chilled the 1,600 or so Canadians based in Latvia supporting Operation Reassurance, the biggest reinforcement of NATO’s collective defence in a generation.
According to people familiar with the mission, morale is flat, with many of the troops feeling exposed, under-equipped and forgotten by the Canadian public. The black humour in Camp Adazi has it that the Canadians would be a “speedbump” if the Russians attacked.
On the day that Vladimir Putin said NATO members are now directly involved in the war in Ukraine because they have supplied missiles being used to bomb Russia, Justin Trudeau was announcing a yuletide $6.3-billion GST holiday on Christmas trees, beer and popcorn.
Canada, remember, is the country that can’t afford to hit its NATO spending target of two per cent of GDP for another eight years.
Canada is on a “clear path” to hit NATO’s defence spending target over the coming years, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, as pressure ramps up on Ottawa in the wake of the U.S. election.
Addressing the annual NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Montreal on Monday, Trudeau said Canada has so far made sure that its investments in targeted NATO spending “are as concrete as possible,” but added that more needs to be done.
Canada’s chief of the defence staff says multiple global threats and military needs keep her up at night, but her top priority is boosting the number of people in the Canadian Armed Forces.
Speaking to Mercedes Stephenson at the Halifax International Security Forum in an interview that aired Sunday on The West Block, Gen. Jennie Carignan said she’s pushing for recruitment to exceed 10 per cent of the military’s end-of-year goal if that target is met ahead of time, with an overall objective of returning to “full strength” in five years.
No one wants to join the DEI force.

Unfortunately there really isn’t anything that we citizens can do to force Trudeau out short of violence.
I would suggest a general strike but that would just give our Captains of industry cause to replace everyone with Justin’s 3rd World replacement Canadians.
Our Tranny forces aren’t much use to anyone any how.
