Israel can fuck right off.

Why not? I mean not everyone has the leadership abilities to become a Che Guevara, but we should all learn what we can to help each other survive.

Remind people to purchase enough canned food and bottled water to last 3-4 weeks, train others on how to operate drones, take courses to learn how to be a medic, etc etc.

There’s all kinds of training that can come from military training that could help us all. It’s never been just about shooting a gun.

Yes yes, keep whining some more.

Most Canadians understand that, but it doesn’t negate the fact the many of us can (and should) be trained in sabotage, guerilla tactics and insurgency strategies that could help fight against a US/China/Russia invasion.

Nobody is saying it isn’t ffs. We are saying it can be a necessary evil if someone attacks us.

I’m not sure you’ve thought this through.

If we decide to not plan for war and Trump chooses to invade, there will be a war whether we like it or not. And to be clear we won’t like it at all.

I agree that preparing our military doesn’t have to lead us down the same road the US has chosen (almost endless wars). But we should be recruiting and training people for our military forces in case they are needed – whether it’s for peacekeeping or self-preservation.

Considering the state of the world, I wouldn’t be against mandatory military service.

Just to be clear, the reason new recruits are leaving is because of the following (from the article) …

The reason new members are quitting: Training delays and difficulty adjusting to military life.

In some cases, recruits are waiting over 206 days for training — notably in specialized trades.

“There are insufficient trainers, equipment, training facilities and other supports to meet training targets effectively,” said the report, written in April 2025.

“This leads to delays which significantly frustrate [new] members, who often face months of underemployment.”

Thing is if the NL gov’t had thought this was important they would have made sure IT staff was available. By not doing so, and with 27 unclaimed bodies (???) in storage, they’ve made it clear the announcement was made simply to appease the rabble.

Gov’ts MUST be held accountable in all things.

Yup. All that post-war housing built for returning military had an effect on house sizes.

Man, I miss Kevin Page. He was A W E S O M E holding the Harper gov’t accountable for their collective shitty decisions.

One would hope so, but I won’t hold my breath.

Drug Fraud at it again, trying to strip First Nations of their rights.

He’ll lose this when it hits the SCoC.

Then instead of taking money away from poor old people the gov’t should be means-testing the rich old people.

Pot - kettle.

She really is a manipulative pos.

Just as an FYI …
