Army Guy

I think once elected he represents all Canadians, i could be wrong..... maybe the rules are different for the liberals....including those that did not vote for him, and I'm sure if an election is called early....Canadians of all strips will be voting for anything but a Liberal or NDP government....with the bloc making up the official opposition....That's what the liberal /ndp parties will be regulated to nothing more than bush leaguers....

Liberal party is in charge of procurement, those hemp sandals were suppose to be our new arctic boots...only Liberal MP get jack boots...don't worry though, i heard they are going to turn in those new sleeping bags trade for two new liberal MP's and a bunch of old hockey cards...

Hence why the army stole the airforce Zap straps... the only way to go....no more knot classes

He used to be one of the better contributors here, not sure what happened to him today....

And much easier to defend... Considering most advances in most tech trees have been due to conflict, and still today conflict is what is driving our key advances in any field. we continue to improve on ways to kill each other, how does that make the human race not corrupt ? while we still struggle with major diseases such as cancer etc...that could be solved or cured if trillions were thrown into the research. Advances in robotics is going to remove soldiers from the battlefields, and force warfare in many different directions, which will in my opinion will only prolong conflicts...

I think he meant a liberal, .....but then again he is not on the list either

All of that is already heavily discounted, your fear mongering for nothing...trump knows we are more of a burden than a positive he is not going to invade....

Man, it must be scary living in your world, trump lives in your mind rent free, have you even been out from under the bed since trump promised to annex canada...I mean WTF would the US want with Canada in the first place, even their democrats are further right than the conservatives, and more than 1/2 of the nation is from the whinny left.... Your ramblings are nothing more than scared rhetoric, the bad man is coming for me....I get it the conservatives are coming to power , your world seems like it is crumbling, and it's true, life as a lefty is going to get a little harder, but don't worry you'll live through it Conservatives are asshats not cannibals'...leftys are to greasy and full of sh!t to eat anyways... Trump will come and go, and we will fix our border issues, maybe our military spending...but he is not going to annex Canada....not that it would be hard, i mean the left has dismantled most of our military, there are more women in the US marine corp than we have soldiers, that would be embarrassing getting beat by female marines...now that would send a message to our allieds would it not... The sky is not fallin...

Take a look at the new CDS....and how many men were in that category....how much more proof do you need....Also one would need to find out how many people are white and non white, where the bulk of any numbers are going to be white....So my answer to you is this data does not exist why would the government research info that does not defend it's choices... That being said explain what DEI is superior to the system we had....

Has anyone had a reason to gather that data....you seem to be good with a system that instead of based on merit...is now based on racial overtones...does not matter how well you do your job, but rather how deep your skin tone is.... So just to be clear anyone in the top third of the merit list is qualified to be promoted, or hired....but now we are saying no need for a merit listing we are taking those ethnic backgrounds we deem fit, and all the others well we will try and fit them in some place...That's what your good with...instead of having someone that scored high now your good with a moderate score...becasue they fit someone's diversity chart... performance reviews never mentioned skin tone or who you identified as, that was something that came our in the last ten years...color had nothing to do with merit....

Perhap it is , but you've yet to explain why ? 1...I gave you a good reason, if you need to go down the merit listing a few hundred places to find a DEI promotion , then you not filling that position with the best person, but rather filling it with some trait that has no bearing on the quality of that person.....some of color or what ever trait your looking at...unless you can prove some how that other ethnic back grounds provide better candidates...DEI is just balancing the racial chart, it is not based on any valid points that would make for a better candidate...And if your not getting the BEST Candidate what exactly is it your getting.... 2....To be honest it has been in play for decades, streaming lining women promotions to get a balance in the ranks...well before i got out, in 2014...and it is pretty much the entire CF, it is the system how could it not be ...take a look at who was in the running for CDS, 4 women, not one man was on the list, does that mean there was not qualified MEN... horse crap...it was a political appointment, Canada wanted to break a glass ceiling... And lets be honest here, white men made up the majority of the military, becasue they made up 99 % of the candidates... 3...Not what i meant at all...ALL promotions and hirings, should be based on merit and merit only....color , creed, all of that DEI stuff should not even be a consideration....Standards should be based on the job, not demographics, sex, etc....want to be an infanteer, then those standards should be the highest for fitness, body strength, etc....no where should there be a 25 % target for female soldiers make the standards then your in, can't make the standards then be something else... You have a lot of excuses for the old system, and yet for some reason can't explain what benefits DEI has...are both going to be dominated by white people, well until white people become the minority here in Canada thats how it is ...

Your question is not based on logic, your saying that DEI practices must be working becasue there is no clear evidence of any failures....But look around there are plenty of examples....The forces is plagued with toxic leadership, since it has not cured this type of leadership it must be continuing with the DEI hiring.... The most critical part of Hiring and promotion based on merit was you were also going to get the cream of the crop, the best man or women for the job....All DEI hiring practices accomplish is to keep the wall charts balanced, you no longer have the cream of the crop in management levels, your promoting a racist ideology, that does not have a business model but rather correcting a behavior long since gone for the most part....the search of excellence is no longer front and center, but rather based on ethnic back grounds... Merit based promotions and hirings has been the practice for thousands of years....for good reason perhaps you can explain how DEI practices are superior to merit based ones...In todays world each soldier is merited against all his peers...ranked form 1 to thousands , if one has to cut the top couple hundred off the top to find a candidate that fits your DEI chart , how is not proof that it does not work...when hundreds of candidates out scored your DEI candidate...How does this system advantageous to use...is it fair ?, does it spark competition ?, it gives a small group an unfair advantage, while slowing merit based candidates down to the point they may stop showing interest in promotion or advancement as there is no reward for that behavior...

the voices in his head.....

Anyone with enough time in rank should be qualified for any number of positions....The fact remains why are others that are more qualified be passed up over someone that fits the DEI profile....Same as the recruiting process, CAF recruitment media even states who will get a first look, if they meet certain profiles....again why should someone that is better qualified be over looked just to file holes in a pie chart....remember we are looking for warriors, not diversity hires, this is not some downtown company, but rather assembling a team that can and will depend on each other on the battle field...where chaos thrives... Been lots of talk about current CDS, is she the most qualified person, or was the liberals looking to break a glass ceiling....i mean those generals that were passed over have very impressive records...While the current CDS has had some bumps along the road.... Everything else you've written about i agree in spades, and i hope that the next government takes an interest in correcting all of what ills our military, it is time this nation took as much pride in its military as our soldiers do....

Having the GAs there in the first place is Canadian culture being forced on those that do not want it, period....it is not our place to tell them how to treat their women.... I did not say they were yours unless you've been promoted.... It is a common sense thing , not every culture has common sense, when Afghan men crossed the line which hapoopen a lot, they were dressed down with a firm voice, and a weapon in hand....normally a pistol, as that for some reason was what they feared the most... Canadians males did not have anything to do with Afghan women, we had female soldiers to do just that...no crossing the streams unless your looking for a gun fight... It might have made sense at the time, if we need to teach our soldiers how to treat women , our parents have failed in their parenting....our entire culture has flaws in it, our education system has flaws in it.. our morals and values are flawed....lets start there....waiting to when a man is training to be a warrior is way to late in the cycle... Just to be honest we did bring this whole thing on ourselves...first by bringing women into the army period....then opening all combat trades up to women , lowering standards to accommodate some politicians hopes and dreams, Warriors are mostly a type personalities, who like to fight, argue, and get laid, and military training brings that out in them.... and it was encouraged...the dream was to have 25 % of the forces females...and they have yet to mange to even come close...Don't get me wrong i've seen some women perform some wicked bravery on the battlefield...they can fight, and soldier....but they are the exception to the rule...lowered standards have robbed those who truly perform at that level.

It is a little more complicated than that, there is DEI hiring that is rampant, people are being recruited primarily becasue of race, color, religion, sex....and promotions are based on this as well... instead of promoting those that show superior skills first, they are filling position based on DEI charts and graphs...Government continues to shove more policies down soldiers throats that require hours of training and resources that could be used elsewhere... The long hair is tied to looking professional, it is not a big thing to over come , we have multi colored hair, of all lengths and styles, man buns, beards policy has changed a little, still a few ZZ top beards out there...pants are not bloused at the bottoms, uniforms not ironed, the list goes on and on... They have forgotten that this uniform represents our country and should inspire other to want to wear it... Recruiting issues are On DND and those responsible for back ground checks for security clearances... They have the resources just have not allotted them into the right spots...But lets not forget that, a good number of soldiers are completing their initial contracts and getting out for a couple reasons toxic leadership, DEI practices, and woke culture....

Yes we do, you make that sound like a huge mission that consumes large amounts of resources and manpower... i mean we are talking about a force that the government continues to say is gaining on 70 k soldiers....when in reality Infantry boots on the ground might be a little over 5000 people...a little more if you add in armored and arty, Combat engineers...Reserve units would need to be robed blind to make up short falls in regular force units before getting on the start line.... Your GAs are going to be short lived, PP has said he is going to gut the forces of all woke policies and personal, he wants warriors not whatever it is we have today.... These so call GA have influenced TPP's , not sure if you have ran into any Ukrainian, but they are biwilder by this whole concept, and discredits our soldiers on the ground. They don't care about the whole topic, they want to learn to close with and destroy the enemy...

more liberal failures.....

We like having you around , your like the yappy dog you can't get rid of....besides every conservative echo chamber needs it token liberals...

This life becasue thats the only area in which we can contribute, while other military provide direct military actions, we are on the side lines teaching something to other countries who don't really give a rats a$$ about the topic...

I think it is funny how trump lives in so many liberals heads for free, like he was the anti christ or something....It is our southern neighbor that is enticing us to boast our border security, which was or is pretty slack, it is our southern neighbor who enticed us to look at our artic security, and it will be our southern neighbor that entices us to spend more on OUR own defence...US is getting tired of footing most of the bill for our defense.... Ya screw the border...and see if Trump introduces a 25 % tariff's on all Canadians goods.. see what that costs the average Canadian per year..then tell us all that it is still a good idea...Not sure where your math skills are but i think they lay in your southern regions... We have the military we have today becasue Canadians want it that way, if they did not they would stand up and voice there opinion and change the government s direction.... want a 2 % military right your MP and tell him. Pound for pound the US solider has more resources to call upon than all of NATO put together....it would be pretty arrogant to assume we could compete against that. Todays warriors are not the same breed as they were 10 years ago, it's apples and oranges....DEI programs have weaken the entire warrior structure, other woke programs are driving out warriors and replacing them with a softer gentler member.... The answer to your question why we can't have a decent military....becasue it is not what Canadians want, it offers them nothing they can put in their pockets they see it as taking away money from social programs....PP is going to change all of that....

I think that is going to change, or look a lot different than it does today, according to PP....who says he is going to drive the woke out of the military, stopping the DEI process, and recruit warriors to be warriors. LILLEY: Poilievre promises to end woke culture in military

you really have to ask yourself how much respect do you have to fire someone over a zoom call... I mean this was his right hand women, she stuck with him for 9 plus years...and he fired her over zoom...that is leadership right there...and to top it off he expected her to give the fall economics update so she could take the fall with blowing that by 20 bil....then step down to a minor role within the government ...Sorry politcs1990 but he is a POS, i'm sure the rest of the cabinet now dread zoom calls.... How can you support a guy like this...
