You raise good questions, but I was delighted to read this morning that Canada is aiming to become a serious country again. It has been a long decline, but Carney is bringing Canada back to being a real contributor again.
One possible approach to future recruitment would be to really upgrade and promote the cadet program in high schools and the ROTC program in Universities and Colleges
Stunned a Liberal politician would say those things. Welcome and long over due for our military. Mr. Wark I think the DND is going to be calling you for input
So glad we’ve got this guy in charge. I can’t even imagine PP being this efficient or clear-sighted. He’d be hobnobbing with Kevin O’Leary, or something.
Will Trump move to “punish” US owned businesses operating in Canada? They, presumably, represent a huge proportion of our defence manufacturing capacity.
Fareed Zakaria had an interesting segment last week on the future of war. Here's the Coles Notes version: drones and electronics. Anyone who is interested in learning more can see it here. https://youtu.be/xbCszBCIPUE?feature=shared
Two points: Finally! Canada aspires to become an equal participant in our own defense and offer our young people and nascent new industries the opportunity to fill the gaps left by the aging decline of the 'military-industrial complex' that Eisenhower warned about 70 years ago.
Second, I have maintained throughout my (fairly long) life that Canada needs to uncouple itself from its slavish devotion to all things American. Our neighbours have, indeed, been both inventive and generous over our long history together, but that doesn't justify the complete abdication of Canada's responsibility of ownership of our own culture and societal values - we are NOT AMERICAN and we must stop pretending to be American. That legacy has been a mark of our complacency and outright laziness. It is heartening to find that my fellow citizens have finally stood up and started pushing back.

We are circling our wagons and upping our elbows, getting ready for confrontations we hope never arrive. Definitely the dawn of a new day.
I like your take on the Prime Minister’s speech.

Yes, I agree. It’s a great career with fantastic benefits, and a way (I hope) to ignite more Canadian pride and nationalism in our younger generation.

That’s a concern.

This is really going to be challenging, this plan of Carney's. Where does NORAD fit into all of this?
