CAF – Little Green Army Men Some In Bright Summer Dresses

To listen to a senior Government of Canada bureaucrat speaking before a parliamentary committee is to gain a fresh appreciation for the phrase: “The triumph of hope over experience.”

Wendy Hadwen is the assistant deputy minister of policy-industry at the Department of National Defence, and Isabella Chan is senior assistant deputy minister, lands and minerals, at the Department of Natural Resources. They both testified on Monday before the defence committee on the “nexus between national defence, national security and Canada’s critical minerals sector.”

They were injured in military service. Canada promised better rehab. Here’s why these veterans are still in pain

Though his tours in Afghanistan and Ukraine left their mark on his body and brain, Tristan Barkwell hoped to live a normal life beyond the base.

After his medical release last year, the 37-year-old sergeant enrolled in the military’s rehabilitation program with the goal of becoming a radiology technician.

“I was very motivated to heal,” he told the Star from his home in Edmonton.

But the publicly-funded program that was supposed to help demoralized him.

Europe is eyeing France’s nuclear shield. Should Canada follow?

A very quiet queue has formed in Europe where some of Canada’s long-standing, closest allies are seeking shelter under France’s small but robust nuclear umbrella.

The initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron, who declared the next 50 years to be the “era of nuclear weapons,” is — on paper — intended to add another layer of deterrence to NATO’s American-backed security guarantees.

Once again — on paper — Russia is the adversary that needs deterring.

Canada should ‘absolutely’ match Poland’s Chinese EV ban at military bases: Expert

OTTAWA — Intelligence and cybersecurity experts are warning the Liberal government about national security risks posed by allowing Chinese electric vehicles onto Canadian military bases.

Critics and some experts are even calling on Ottawa to ban the cars from Canadian Armed Forces bases and other sensitive sites due to onboard sensors they say could collect and transmit sensitive information to the Chinese government.

LYTLE: Foreign fighters for Canadian passports? Ottawa’s latest military recruitment gambit misses the mark

Battle of Teutoburg Forest

In AD 9, a young Roman hostage from the Germanic Cherusci tribe was leading an auxiliary military group deep into the Teutoburg Forest. With him were the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth Legions of the Roman Imperial Army led by Publius Quinctilius Varus. Varus mistook the Latin-speaking Arminius for a Roman patriot, and he died ruing that mistake. Arminius, raised in Rome and kept as a hostage to maintain peace with his father’s tribe, hated the Romans and led the legions deep into the German forest, where they were ambushed and left to die in the swamp that prevented their escape.

Mixed reviews for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s northern defence plan

OTTAWA — Canada’s $35-billion plan to strengthen defence along its northern frontier is getting mixed reviews.

While Canada has a history of making lofty plans — especially when it comes to its underfunded and under-equipped military — the devil always ends up showing itself in the details.

Carney announces $35B for defence, infrastructure in Canada’s North

The Liberal government has unveiled a detailed, multibillion-dollar proposal to modernize and expand Canada’s military footprint in the country’s Far North.

The comprehensive $35-billion plan, which also includes improvements to civilian infrastructure, is expected to see northern base upgrades, including runway improvements and expansions, as well as hangar and road construction, in a number of locations across the Arctic.

Most of the investment — approximately $32 billion — is being drawn from a pool of money set aside almost four years ago by former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s government to modernize NORAD, the binational North American air defence command shared with the United States.

So Carney the liar is announcing spending already announced 4 years ago.

OTTAWA — The Opposition Conservatives are demanding to know why the public was kept in the dark for nearly two weeks after an Iranian missile slammed into a Canadian airbase in Kuwait on March 1.

Mark Carney says Canada could be asked to help a NATO ally maybe, hypothetically, in a round about way, but probably not as we have no real functioning armed forces available for Middle East deployment

TOKYO — Prime Minister Mark Carney says it is possible Canada will be asked to help defend a NATO ally as the Middle East war continues to intensify, but that there are currently no requests for military aid from Ottawa from any of the impacted countries.

One week into the conflict that erupted when the United States and Israel launched a deadly barrage of airstrikes at Iran, Carney said the violence is still widening, with Tehran firing missiles and drone attacks at neighbouring Gulf states.
