CAF’s toxic leadership exposed

Last week was another public relations fiasco for the senior leadership of the Canadian Armed Forces. Ottawa Citizen defence reporter David Pugliese released a story headlined, “Soldiers leaving Canadian Forces over ‘toxic leadership’, top adviser warns.”

The Citizen article was based upon video footage of an April 23 virtual townhall hosted by Chief of Defence Staff General Wayne Eyre. This virtual event was for the CAF’s top military leaders to discuss the Liberal government’s recently released defence policy update.

According to Access to Information (ATIP) documents shared with LifeSiteNews, the CAF’s COVID vaccine injury figures skyrocketed from 14 cases in 2020 to a whopping 128 in 2021, representing an increase of over 800 percent.

Conscription if necessary?

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a plan to bring back mandatory national service for 18-year-olds last week. The plan would require British teens to partake in a 12-month full-time military placement or spend one weekend a month carrying out community service. The program, which the Tories insisted shouldn’t be described as “conscription,” could be dismissed as an outlandish idea from a government likely on its way out – if, that is, you hadn’t been tuned in to the changing mood about mandatory military service in the West in recent months.

Canada now ‘a little bit of a laughingstock in NATO’

“Canada, you are freeloading!” That’s how businessman and former Canadian soldier Lawrence (Larry) Stevenson interprets last week’s letter from 23 U.S. Democratic and Republican senators to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The American lawmakers urged Canada to uphold its NATO commitments, and speed up efforts to increase defence spending to two per cent of GDP.

John Ivison: Tens of thousands of people want to join our military but we’re snubbing them

Politicians are justly criticized for always voting at their party’s call, and never thinking for themselves at all, to paraphrase the musical HMS Pinafore.

Yet there are still freewheeling, free-thinking MPs who put the public interest ahead of their party.

Veteran Liberal MP John McKay, a parliamentarian for 27 years and current chair of the House defence committee, is one such.

Defence industry, allies call for Canada to increase military investments

Canada’s announcement of an $11.2-billion contract to improve training platforms for the military is getting a lukewarm reception at the country’s largest defence trade show, as allies and military industry companies want to see more investment from the federal government.

Bill Blair detailed the contract, which includes the purchase of 70 training aircraft, in a keynote speech at the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries’ annual defence industry tradeshow (CANSEC) in Ottawa.

Military Leaders Said Dropping Vaccine Mandate Would ‘Weaken’ Institution’s Credibility

The day after the federal government announced it would suspend its vaccine mandates in June 2022, military leaders were taking stock of their own related policy, with some saying making a similar announcement would impact the Canadian Armed Forces’ (CAF) “credibility.”

“If we rescind the CDS Directive, the credibility of the institution is weakened, particularly the relationship between the strategic and tactical levels,” read minutes from a Strategic Operations Planning Group (SOPG) meeting on June 15, 2022.

Canada’s new defence policy isn’t winning America over, analysts say

OTTAWA — The Liberal government’s new defence policy has landed with a resounding thud in Washington and it could be a sign that U.S. politicians are losing patience with Canada’s stinginess on defence spending, analysts say.

A letter released Thursday by 23 Democrat, Republican and independent United States senators took Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to task for Canada’s defence spending, demanding that Canada meet NATO benchmarks requiring members to commit at least two per cent of their GDP to defence spending.

Canada now ‘the outlier’ in NATO on defence spending: U.S. ambassador

The United States’ ambassador to Canada, David Cohen, says Canada is becoming “the outlier” in NATO following a bipartisan letter from 23 American senators calling on Ottawa to meet the two per cent of GDP defence spending target.

“At the end of 2024, the way projections are looking, Canada will be the only country in NATO that is not spending at least two per cent of its GDP on defence and does not have a plan to get there,” Cohen said in an interview with The West Block host Mercedes Stephenson.

“Canada has moved within NATO from being a bit of an outlier to being the outlier in the entire alliance.”

Military Did Not Assess Operational Impact of Kicking Out Unvaccinated Troops: Records

The Canadian military never evaluated how operational readiness would be affected by the expulsion of soldiers refusing COVID-19 vaccination before imposing its mandate, internal records indicate.

“The CAF did not conduct a pre-policy risk analysis since CDS, based on solid medical advice, decided to accept any impacts this policy would/could have brought to bear,” wrote then-Brigadier-General Erick Simoneau in a May 2022 email.

Western countries are gearing up for war for the first time in decades

Western nations are taking steps to put their armed forces on a war footing for the first time in decades, according to the boss of defence-technology company QinetiQ.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, concerns about China’s ambitions in the Pacific, escalations in the Israel-Hamas conflict and Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have spurred Britain, the US, Australia and their allies to invest time and money in testing the readiness of air, sea and land forces, said Steve Wadey, QinetiQ’s chief executive.

Canada is 4th from the bottom in NATO expenditures.

Stopping the CAF ‘death spiral’

The CAF should seek to recruit more cross dressing men like US has done.

OTTAWA—Last week, there was seemingly some good news for Canada’s beleaguered Armed Forces. A May 7 Toronto Star news headline noted that “The number of applicants to join Canada’s military is soaring.”

Unfortunately the text continued with: “Why hasn’t that resulted in more of them in uniform?” The answer, it turns out, is that the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are unable to process the applications they receive in a timely fashion. As a result, the gap between recruiting and those serving personnel who are releasing from the CAF continues to widen.

Trudeau government has spent $10 million promoting DEI in the military as recruitment flounders

Canada’s Department of National Defence has spent nearly $10 million on so-called diversity, equity and inclusion programs since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took office in 2015.

According to records released May 7 by Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of National Defence has paid consultants and contractors $9,510,247 to promote “equity and inclusion” within the military.

‘Our NATO allies are despairing’: Retired general says Trudeau government failing on defence

Lt.-Gen. (ret’d) Andrew Leslie is keen to talk about the embarrassing state of Canadian military preparedness.

“The current prime minister of Canada is not serious about defence. Full stop. A large number of his cabinet members are not serious about defence. Full stop,” the former Liberal MP tells me.
