I don't think Canadian Gen Z want to die for Israel either. The reviews from what I heard IRL from ppl who were in the Canadian Armed Forces is not good either.View attachment 140570
Desperate Times calls for desperate mesures (The Canadian Forces is very understaffed)

Because turning the Canadian military into a serious organization will inevitably result into the question: Why?
To defend NATO: you want thousands of us to die in Russia?
To defend democracy: you want thousands of us to die in Iran/Syria/Iraq/Afghanistan?
To defend our territory: The biggest threat to the Canadian Internal Waters is the US where they don't recognize it
To defend our livelihood: Thousands to die over 25% tariffs, Slava NAFTA.
Canada is not like France where occasionally they can wiggle free and waste time and money on something like Mali, foreign policy is always at the behest of something else. Why die fighting for a decision someone makes in Washington DC?

Especially after Jacob Flickinger aka the Canadian Veteran who was killed by the Isrealis.
Canada has a niche in NATO. IMO that niche is to generate infantry soldiers and leaders.
Canadian infantry training program is amongst the best in NATO. A typical regular force light infantry soldier, after 3 years at battalion, is qualified on all kinds of light weapons, and likely basic reconnaissance (think of it as ranger school), which for many other countries is elite infantry stuff. remember they are still privates at this time. reserves are for the most part less proficient. but there is a small cohort of enthusiasts who are on par with regular force or sometimes even better. Most regular force infantry NCOs are proficient in both mounted and dismounted combat. as well, the Canadian basic infantry officer training is amongst the hardest non-SOF courses in NATO.
Now all of the aforementioned give Canadian infantrymen a small edge over most of their counterparts around the world, but there is nothing that particularly sets them apart. the biggest distinction that makes Canadian infantrymen stand out is winter operations. what is considered a specialty in other armies is basic operating environment that all Canadian soldiers must endure.
Problem with Canadian army is the only force that could invade us military is the US. We cannot compete against them economically or demographically.
Main risk is economy buyout from foreign sources until the point that the US invade us... good infantry will means nothing when a couple of energy distribution pylons blowing up in the north give total blackout.
Well more like a burden because we constantly fail at spending the 2% and we have to constantly beg for equipment and support. Pierre made it clear that he isn't going to fund the miltiary so we are continuing to be a burden.
That's a very rosy picture of the current state of reg force infantry... lol
I'm sure they'll think twice when entertaining such ideas, considering how much of American military tech know-how is possessed by Canada and can be released to the public or to adversaries. L3, PW, engines, F-35 data, etc. A lot of the manufacturing occurs in Canada.
