Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

I'll believe it when I see it.

Anything mentioned about retention ?

Yes, said that it has stablized and the net gain for current fiscal year is about 1,300 net gain. They did specifically call out a shortage in the Martech role.

The new security clearance rules will help, but it sounds like the team doing clearances is overwhelmed, the joke is it's 1 guy in Ottawa doing it and that's why it's so slow. Reality is that team probably needs more resources allocated to it.

Unknown if true but allegedly CSIS does all secret clearances and CAF applicants are low priority for whatever reason. This is why little can be done on the CAF side without governmental orders.

Sounds like the management consultants might be along soon to help out

I've also heard that for PR candidates CSIS and CBSA are pointing fingers at each other over who does the out of country clearance check

I may be in an adjacent field...it would be shit simple for CBSA or IRCC to conduct Reliability checks.

I find it hard to believe we, Canada, would enact a policy change without first making sure all of our ducks were in a row and all concerned parties were onboard.

Bold of you to assume we even know where our ducks are

Liberal solution to meet the 2% target - Increase funding to the state propaganda outlet.

Liberals want to nearly double CBC funding, as an investment in 'national security'

The Liberals say we're going through tough economic times, but they still want every Canadian to pay more for their public broadcaster.

Just when you think they can't get more out of touch with average Canadians, they say something dumb again.

I dunno they seem to be getting more and more in touch every day if polls are to be believed.

I'm not confident it's that they are more in touch, rather it's more that the extremely unpopular leader is finally stepping down at some point.

We won't really know if they are actually connecting with voters until they have a leader and start trying to sell themselves.

Canadians are socialists man. Team Trump down South has scared them back to their natural state.

I've come to accept that my mentality and my values are not those shared by the vast majority here. #itiswhatitis

It's the perpetual optimism of the average Canadian voter. After 9 years of policies that have put the country in the shitter, in year 10 the same policies with a shiny new (albeit white, anglo and middle-aged) front cover will result in a greenish golden age where everything is put to rights.
