Justin’s a chip off the old block. Turdo was a thief. Need I say more
As always … man for man the Canadian Army can stand down and defeat any enemy in world, with the exception of their most intractable foe: the Liberal Party.
Old army line based on Liberal government attitudes towards supporting and equipping our military:
“Nothing is too good for the troops. So nothing is what they get.”
“One affected soldier feels like “we got kicked in the stomach.”” – CTV
Well now you know how much the Liberals hate you. Especially for protecting the country from foreign invaders, the #1 sin against the cult of Progressivism.
Makes my blood boil over this.
Liberals are indeed a grab-bag of the useless and mentally stunted. They have no problem booking the Banff Springs Hotel, Chateau Whatever or any other posh resort to conduct their very important meetings, spending money with not a thought of who has actually worked to pay their bills. The whole while having not a care or thought of those who are standing in harms way, willingly, to try and bring a modicum of decency to war ravaged areas of the world, and then having their pay cut because of a some Bureaucrats’ making bean-counting balance sheet look good at one of these “special meetings”. Wonder if they raise a glass of champagne and OJ to second the motion to pass the budget restraints?
Has anybody ever put together a tally of the enlisted soldiers of the political party members? Who’s son or daughter is in the line of fire who’s family is sitting in the position of power who are cutting their wages?
Doubt if there is a sitting member.
Gee, what’s all the fuss? Except for a WWII RCAF vet, every other veteran I know voted for turdo la doo.
“Anyone but Harper!” yelled all those vets.
Well, you got what you asked for, you fools.
To think, after 2011 I briefly believed Canada was ready to finally consign the Liberal party to the ashheap of history where it belonged. How naive I was. This country will let itself be governed by Liberals ~70 of every 100 years for the rest of its history, no doubt, and they’ll only let the Conservatives govern if they’re “Liberal Lite”.
And we’re only halfway through term #1 of Justin. At least one more full term, if not two, to go.
When was the last time the CAF protected Canada from invaders? 1812, maybe?
Time to bring back Paul Hellyer? He did such a good job under the father of the Spawn (not). He could redeploy the Canadian forces to liaising with space aliens.
the Liberals are looking for revenue streams to pay for his massive frivolous spending, this doesn’t end well
How about 1939-1945, you schmuck, you.
Oh? Where was the first Jerry or Jap beachhead that the CAF repelled? Did we have massive troop movements to the east and west coasts to repel the foreign invaders storming our beaches?
Idiot.
Ummm… ya. U boats in the St Lawrence.
And the freedom you currently enjoy to bash our military was purchased by said group.
No, we had massive (for us) troop movements much further east and west of our shores to engage enemies abroad because a tiny population like ours cannot effectively defend a country as big as ours by waiting at home for them to show up. You can choose to believe that we should try the latter way if you like. Then other people will call you idiot. Free country (so far.)
YeahWell >
“When was the last time the CAF protected Canada from invaders?”
Exactly!
That’s why we have a military, to keep it that way.
Why do you support having our military underpaid and in harms way over in some Islamic shithole?
Where? We acted preemptively to prosecute the war overseas so that we wouldn’t have to do it here, acting in concert with allies that we shared a common interest and history with.
Dolt.
Exactly. The military voted librano.
Gagetown was full of liberal signs in the last election.
I didn’t bash the military. I was actually a reservist for a 5 years in the 80’s.
Just because I cannot recall any foreign invasion of Canada, and you ashats go all virtue-signaling on me. It’s disgusting.
If the CAF were to defend us from foreign invaders, well, the first thing they would do is to stage a coup, as it seems pretty clear that since 9/11 our owners have been flooding us with ever greater numbers of Muzz invaders.
The CAF is merely a tool for the extension of Federal government policy, which has not included defending Canadian sovereignty since the 60’s, and has certainly never repelled an invasion since Confederation.
Get a grip.
Well, what goes around comes around…many were critical of the Harper government for not doing enough for the vets, voted for Trudeau on promises made.
What is it with folk putting words in my mouth here?
If we were serious about militarily defending our borders, we would have a robust tactical and strategic nuclear weapons programme.
This reminds me of when the Hussein-Obama Admin. tossed all our military ballots into the sea. He imposed multiple holds and regulations that STOLE the presidential votes of our Miltary. Why ? Because the members of our military are mostly conservative, and vote conservative. I would expect that the boy-King is doing the same thing … punishing, and crippling conservatives. The asswipe should be impeached for STEALING $$$ out of the pockets of already-poorly-paid service men/women.
YeahWell .
“you ashats go all virtue-signaling on me…”
Then don’t Troll, instead post a real opinion instead of off comment bait to set up a “virtue-retaliation”. That’s disgusting.
Well done. The first and only reasonable response to my query.
Still, at the time, I don’t think we faced much of a threat from Germany or the Japs.
No, to all the morons who somehow think that I must hate the military, well that speaks more about them than me. I’ll be the firast tom say we need more, much, much more military spending.
As things stand now, Canada is incapable of defending herself, and incapable of projecting force in any meaningful way.
Yes, historically, our troops kicked butt, but now, when an NCO can’t even push a recruit to the ground, gall him a little pusssssy fa&&ot and get him to do push-ups till he pukes, the effectiveness of our forces have been dramatically reduced. There is a very good reason to “abuse” the troops in training.
I was simply pointing out that the CAF are, much more often than not, merely a tool for the Feds foreign policy, which is globalist, rather than a tool to defend our borders.
Now, we do need a bigger military, to have against the day when we actually have Canadian Patriots running Canada. Sadly, I cannot remember any party floating a patriotic leader or patriotic policies.
How can one be proud of our forces if one is ashamed of our country? If you’re not ashamed of Canada, then you haven’t been paying attention.
“I am extremely proud to be reopening doors that were previously closed to Veterans and their families here in Kelowna.,” said Kent Hehr, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, in a statement.
“They have selflessly answered the call to serve our country, and now we are answering their call by enhancing financial benefits, restoring and expanding access to critical services, expanding service in British Columbia and the territories, and hiring more frontline staff. This was part of our commitment to Canadians, and we stand by this promise.”
Ya see,it’s all about optics. Yes,the Liberals reopened the VA office, which has almost no clients,although the article says there are 3500 veterans in the area,but almost none of them ever have the use of the VA.
But in the tiny brains of Canadians,the LPC lived up to their promise,which btw, does the LPC more good than the veterans as it employs more Liberal civil servants. And they reversed the devastation wrought by That Terrible Stephen Harper.
Meanwhile, the Liberals treat the military as they always have, like third rate civil servants who don’t have a Union. Try this stunt with CUPE members, Justin,see how far you’ll get.
YeahWell >
There, we do actually agree.
As with the Juxtapose, our dear globalist progressive liberal elites are spending our tax dollars to aid and finance foreign countries at the expense of Canadian lives and dollars while neglecting our security at home.
Agreed, our military should be strong and based on Canadian soil as well as our tax dollars.
The modern “invaders” are the millions of Islamic Death Cult worshippers that are flooding western countries with Open Border Policies to commit terrorist attacks. They educate and recruit new members, solicit and launder money for their global organizations, and thrive in sanctuary countries like Canada benefiting from “Special protected status”, Social Assistance & “free” medical care.
F*ck these “Progressive” policies, the UN, the EU, and any other crazy ideology that does not put Canada first for Canadians.
The budget will balance itself….?
Yes.
The Islamic invaders, however, are merely the “shock troops” used by the globalist swine as a pretext to implement an ever-more intrusive police state.
I think it safe to say that the Western leadership, with the possible exception of Trump, are on the wrong side of history.
LOL.
Yep.
The pauperization of the population is merely a side-effect of the budget balancing itself.
😉
YeahWell >
“…the “shock troops” used by the globalist”
Alternately, Biological Weapons.
Again I agree, which is precisely why Canadians need to fight to withdrawal every policy laid out by the Globalist Elite including our support for their endeavours. Militarily & financially.
The Leftist useful idiots will cry about “protectionism” but that is not the same thing as “non-interventionism”, where Canadians can use our power of economy and technology to either force dirtbag countries into compliance, or let them eat themselves.
As with Trump we could start with VISAS of all shapes and sizes. Fewer terrorists & foreign gangs in our midst, fewer militarized police needed – very simple.
The liberals are indeed helping vets by opening 9 offices that Harper closed who were doing nothing but sit on their asses. No one seems to know the cost of the rents,office furniture, wages, phones, heat and light.It will definitely show they are spending more on VA although it will go to the civil service with high paying jobs rather than the vets.My father made 2 visits to VA offices and got nothing but frustration but had good success on the phone and said the walk in offices were useless. They have reversed most of the conservatives cost cutting measures to appease the civil service. The unions will be happy as well as they have moved to take secret ballots from workers as those dummies will follow their union reps like blind mice and continue to vote liberal or NDP
“…I was actually a reservist for a 5 years in the 80’s. …”
If you weren’t serious about militarily defending our borders, you don’t have to keep what they paid for that.
There were no “ashats … virtue-signalling on” you. Some of us commented unfavourably on your remarks because they warranted it. No one has to put words in your mouth. You open it and the words come out.
Yes, the solutions are simple, but, IMHO, the west lost it’s mind in 1918.
Among the solutions is the abolition of the existing supra-national orgs like the EU, UN, NATO, G8, etc. Those are the entities pushing for mass Islamic immigration.
Perhaps Trump can form a nucleus around which an alternative to the wests “New World Order” can form, although I don’t think the globalists will give up without a fight, and that pretty much means war. WW3. Hopefully we can see Farage, Wilders, LePen and the AfD get in power, so the nationalists have a fighting chance.
Which comment warranted it, exactly?
When you get triggered by a question, it’s not the guy asking the question that has a problem.
That whole “fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here” is just globalist claptrap.
Either one is invaded, or one is not invaded. That’s it. Period.
Also, at present, Canada doesn’t have enough troops to even defend her border, so sending them out on dubious crap like helping to oust Qaddafi is insane.
Oh, I forgot, Qaddafi was gonna invade Canada, right?
Keeeerist! The stupid, it burns!
I never went overseas, if that’s what you mean.
Newsflash: Our borders ain’t overseas.
No, no, Ghaddafi was not going to invade Canada, PM Paul Martin visited him in his tent…..that’s what saved us I’m sure!
YeahWell >
“Which comment warranted it, exactly?” – “When was the last time the CAF protected Canada from invaders? 1812, maybe?”
It’s about context
“noun: context; plural noun: contexts
the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed”
The background here is that many regular & drop-in SDA trolls who lead and bait comments with exactly this type of “questioning” bereft of intent or context. The common courtesy is to preamble the question with a preparatory statement; an introduction if you will.
Otherwise, don’t be “shocked” if your question is regarded and treated as hostile and inflammatory.
Sadly, I’m a redneck, and don’t go for all this context and nuance stuff.
I flat out say what I have to say.
If people choose to read their own ideas and issues into my statements, well, screw ’em.
IMHO, the right has a few sacred cows that it’s all afeared of questioning too.
All sacred cows are a danger to free-thinking folk, as it causes folk to react without reasoning things out, just like the left does.
For example, I have said “It was Jews that started the whole hate-speech fiasco here in Canada, with Ernst Zundel”, many folk automatically think I’m one of the “The Rothschild’s mind control rays are running the world” types, and respond as if i were such an idiot.
When folk fail to take statements at face value, they are no longer reading statements, and as a result, can no longer apply logic to said statements. Just like the left with it’s feelz.
Like many folk can’t discriminate between critical theory and critical thinking.
“so sending them out on dubious crap like helping to oust Qaddafi is insane.”
Absolutely, I spent months in 2011 debating the pseudo-conservative commenter ET about the fallacies of the Arab Spring. Namely stating that we (NATO) would not oust any dictator and create democracies in the ME. Our interference would only result in the rise of Islamic totalitarian states, and we would receive the fallout of millions of refugee’s – All assertions verifiable in SDA archives throughout 2011.
Look at it now.
It’s a funny coincidence that all the western leaders who supported the destabilization of the ME through the Islamic uprising dubbed by these same leaders and their media toadies as “The Arab Spring” are the same leaders who are importing Muzz as fast as they can get away with.
Of course, in this case “connect the dots” = “conspiracy nut”, or so I’ve been assured by my betters. 😉
I’ve always been of the view when a country hasn’t been invaded, that’s a compliment to the military, rather than an insult.
Maybe I’ve missed something, I was only in the Regular Force.
I agree.
A strong military is the ONLY way known to secure borders, but in the face of a leadership that refuses to do so, it’s not enough, unless the military stages a coup.
In fact, when the political leadership is against it’s own people, the military is also against it’s own people if the military decides to obey the political leadership.
So, when Harper helped NATO to oust Qaddafi, he was in fact conspiring to commit a crime against the Canadian people, a crime that the CAF was complicit in perpetrating.
I wonder how many SDA readers would support a military coup-d’etat by the CAF?
I have another juxtaposition for you: That Bobardier loan vs another rQuebec based aviation comapny:

“Canada is incapable of defending herself”
You’re right there. Remember the Oka crisis. The injuns defeated our so called armed forces. Wouldn’t take much for any country to invade and easily conquer Canada.
I see. defending against . . . . *other* tactical nukes carried by the attacker?
p.s., if I go to the trouble of acquiring a firearm on your behalf, would you be so kind
to use your own head for target practice?
Canada’s vets helped blow the crapola out of naziism which with some fine tuning and luck would have prevailed and invented nukes just out of scientific curiousity at the very least and then promptly used them here and there (here being Washington, there being Moscow) as a demo why it was judicious to surrender en masse. including Canuckistan.
buuuut that didn’t happen because of June 6, 1944 Juno beach etc.
read a history book or 20 on the topic and actually TALK to veterans groups if they choose to share their stories.
Bwahahahaaa…Canada stopped the NAZI’s from getting the nuke.
Hahahhaha!
Also, if you were granted the ability to understand what you read, you would note that no-where did I say that the CAF shouldn’t exist, or fought poorly in WW2.
What is wrong with you?
I may only be a reservist vet, but I never voted for the Anointed One or his commie loving father either. In fact I learned to hate the sob when I was on course in Petawawa and he paid a visit. His contempt for us throughout his terms was noticeable.
