“CAF – Canadian Armed Forces”

Canada’s experiment in recruiting non-citizens to the military while lowering entrance standards has been wrought with problems, if a January internal report is anything to go by.

Recruits have been failing at greater rates since changes to recruitment practices were made in late 2024, according to the document, which was obtained by the Post last weekend. Instructors are also having to deal with cultural clashes, illiteracy problems, and a lack of respect for female officers, among other problems.

Murray Brewster and CBC continue to ignore the internal conflicts in Canadian Armed Forces training platoons — including ethnic infighting, cultural clashes, lack of respect for female members, and major training breakdowns

The success rate for basic training in the Canadian military has dropped to 77 per cent over the past fiscal year as the Canadian Armed Forces grapple with the impact of recruiting changes designed to boost enrolment, according to a leaked internal report.

That compares with a historical average of 85 per cent, according to an internal January, 2026, report by Lieutenant-Colonel Marc Kieley, commandant of the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School (CFLRS) in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que.

The South Korean company vying to win the contract to build Canada’s next submarine fleet is promising, if selected, to build industrial and military vehicles in this country with Canadian auto parts and workers, sources say.

Hanhwa announced a joint venture Wednesday with Canada’s Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association (APMA) to build a new entity that would produce the promised vehicles.

The Liberal government’s spring economic update lays the foundation for a potential solution to two of the Canadian military’s most vexing problems — the dearth of equipment and skilled personnel.

Absent from the fiscal plan, however, was a specific accounting of how the country managed to meet the NATO benchmark target of two per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product.

The economic update released Tuesday proposes $250 million over five years for skilled trades training under the umbrella of the Canadian Armed Forces.

No doubt this scam will require foreign language study guides costing 250 Million Dollars & designed by a Liberal crony.

Canadians want the government to purchase the best fighter jets for the nation’s air force instead of prioritizing the option that generates the highest number of jobs, a new study suggests.

The Liberal government announced in 2023 its decision to procure 88 F-35 jets from Lockheed Martin to update Canada’s aging CF-18 Hornet fleet. But Prime Minister Mark Carney asked for a review of the deal in March 2025 while the trade dispute between Canada and the United States was in its beginning stages.

The military commander overseeing recruitment said the Canadian Armed Forces is nowhere near meeting a target set a decade ago for women to make up 25 per cent of the Forces by 2026 — and at the current rate, reaching that goal is impossible.

Lt.-Gen. Erick Simoneau, chief of military personnel, said Canada’s military is still struggling to attract and keep enough women in uniform.

“We’re having great difficulties because the bulk of our occupations and positions that we have to offer to the Canadian population is in the combat arms in the army,” said Simoneau. “So until we can convince women to join the army and then the combat arms, I’m very pessimistic about meeting the 25 per cent target.”

Besides the men are hoarding all the tampons.

The number of people who enrolled in the Canadian military — both full-time and part-time — surged in the last fiscal year but despite the milestone the size of the Armed Forces has yet to reach targets set almost a decade ago.

Defence Minister David McGuinty announced Monday that 7,310 applicants were accepted into the regular force last year, surpassing the benchmark set by the Department of National Defence. It is apparently the highest number of people coming in off the street in more than three decades.

🚨 BOMBSHELL: James Bezan confirms the CAF is recruiting immigrants who can’t speak English or French. They wash out of basic training — then get housed in pop-up tent cities like a full-blown refugee camp.

Canada’s military housing shortage has grown to as many as 10,000 units, with new testimony revealing many existing homes are in poor condition and unsuitable for families.

Canadian Forces Housing Agency CEO Paula Zurro told the Commons public accounts committee the gap between available housing and demand now ranges from 7,000 to 10,000 units, with the agency aiming to meet the higher end of that estimate through future construction.
