Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

I'll believe it when I see it.

Creating the positions is easy. Funding them is not.

As for recruiting, give them decent equipment (not a CF tradition, unfortunately) and the same hotel accommodations as your aircrew . . .

There are uptapped positions in the notional 71,500 PY establishment. They would be funded.

A bit testy aren't we?

Because YOUR solution isn't acceptable to this forum?

Yes I am testy, because no one seems to think we should change how things are done. You are all worried about your careers and promotions and not about having a capable fighting force. As Kevin said above, look at the number of GOFOs we have. it's ludicrous. Until we have at least one full strength and fully equipped brigade we can't call ourselves an Army. and that wont happen....
