  1. LOL.
    This idea is 40 years too late.
    But, let’s modify this idea, might be sellable.
    Mandatory for the ABCDEFG pipples, natives, Liberal/NDP voters/members, BIPOC and all the border crossers/invaders. And send them to Ukraine to be cannon fodder.
    Because, we don’t want white privilege in the military.

    1. Actually a great idea. You can’t pull ‘a Klinger’ or anything to get out of conscription. Not even if you’re wheelchair bound, have one eye, leg or arm. After all we want Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. But in this case it wouldn’t be DEI but much more appropriately DIE.

    2. A blatant LPC paid ad,
      leveraging their sudden “Team Liberal Party Patriotism”
      (they’ll never use the word Pride in this context).

      CF, and 90% of western world military leadership,
      are first and foremost committed to Politics For The Left.

      Sworn traitors to themselves and their nations,
      fully aware of the reasons for atrocious recruitment,
      they’re in complete lock-step denial of it,
      in spite of witnessing US recruitment improve:

      …efforts at cultural change within the military are really important for operational readiness”

      Translation: “purple hair, tacklebox-face, and turbans are fine”

      and

      “the navy’s new program allows people to try out being a sailor for a year without longer commitments”

      Pathetic.

  2. You mean… forced indoctrination of LGBTQ, DIE, and ESG???

    You have to know what I would say to that!

    Thank goodness I’m too old for that shit!

  3. I expect Carney is going to try to be wonderful on the world stage right out of the gate. Watch him volunteer Canadian “Peacekeeping Soldiers” in Ukraine. Won’t he be wonderful? How many Canadian soldiers speak Ukrainian? That should be a must.. A lot of Canadians claim Ukrainian ancestory; what percentage are in Canda’s military? Maybe Freeland can be a Liason Officer.
    Canada’s military should be at 2% NATO contribution level before doing anything else.

    1. “How many Canadian soldiers speak Ukrainian? That should be a must.. A lot of Canadians claim Ukrainian ancestory; what percentage are in Canda’s military?”

      I do…and I was in the CF 23 years. Because I knew the enemy was Russian. I’m in my late ’60s…can’t go back.

      If I were younger now, at the same age I was when I had joined, I wouldn’t be inspired to join the CF, with the state that Canada is in now.

      Between studying Russian history and Slavic Studies in University in my pre-CF days; and the military int courses I had to take (I was Logistics), the most important take-away from all that can be summarized as ‘NEVER NEVER NEVER trust the Russians’.

      1. I would agree, but I can’t think of a single country that I would trust. Every single country in the world is playing for their own team, and do not care about the other team.

        1. Yep. And anytime someone talks about the tariffs Trump has imposed on us I say, “Any country can impose a tariff on any other country if they wish.”
          They have no response and start going into another Orange Man Bad rant.

        1. Never walk when you can ride, never stand when you can sit, and go to the can every chance you get.

      2. “the most important take-away from all that can be summarized as ‘NEVER NEVER NEVER trust the Russians’.”

        Funny…that’s what many people also say about the Ukrainians.

  4. I would advocate that if this were indeed a real country, but I feel no kinship with people who welcome invaders, throw our money to foreign countries, denigrate our history, undermine our efforts, tax us like serfs, seize rights when offended, punish the good and reward the wicked.

    Mandatory, for FN, metis, immigrants, and illegals too? Thought not.

    1. IOW, mass immigration is saving us from would-be slavers like you.

      Mass immigration is vital to freedom.

          1. So you support mass immigration of Russians into the Baltics and Ukraine. And mass immigration of Boers to Rhodesia and South Africa! I like your ideas! I thinknthe Baltics should be forced to accept the diversity of millions of Russian Muslims, in accordance with your excellent idea!

        1. “that’s idiotic. Mass immigration has f*ck all to do with freedom.”

          That’s always been his/her knee-jerk, mindless reaction to *any* restrictions on (or even questions about) immigration right from the time that he/she first showed up here. We figure hr/she is an illegal immigrant to Canada (and likely Muslim).

      1. Mass immigration changes the demographics of a nation meaning it’s now a different nation. There’s nothing therefore to “save” or “defend.”

        Mass immigration is another word for invasion, and enabling or promoting it, IF this was a real country, would be treason.

        1. No it’s not another word for invasion but it does keep would-be tyrants like you on the bottom, where you belong. You don’t have a right to static demographics. Let us leave behind ethno-‘nations’, may liberty be our only nationality.

          1. “May liberty be our only nationality.” While that statement is ridiculous in and of itself, if you think we have liberty in this country, then we would have this:
            “the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behaviour, or political views.”
            We do not have that, just like we don’t have a legitimate government at the moment.

          2. You don’t get out much ……
            You’ll never have liberty without integrity, and that’s static values that didn’t depend on demographics everyone that used to come here started at the bottom. Just like a Canadian starting at an independent life they started at the bottom too.
            Your out of touch, and incorrect.

          3. @ UnMe: Great. I look forward to your support for mass immigration of Russians into the Baltics and Ukraine.

      2. I think the Uganda Judge claiming political immunity for actually owning a slave, and transporting her into N.A. exposes your intellect, sadly, again.

        I keep waiting for you to write something worthy of someone who apparently has so much to say about everything, but like some sad reel to reel, playing on a loop, after the apocalypse, it’s all gibberish and out of context. You’re not funny, insightful, or even a contrarian devil’s advocate. That does not leave many options that don’t require rounded corners and a safety helmet.

  5. Here’s a better idea. Integrate your military in with the US as a specialty service that focuses on the unique security threats associated with Canada (Northwest Passage, Arctic incursion, Air craft intrusion etc.). But, most importantly, don’t treat your military like second-class citizens (such as turning over barracks to illegal immigrants) and actually take the money wasted on nonsense identity political endeavors and invest it into making the military appetizing to young Canadians, with a connection to securing an education and vocation outside of the military when they are discharged. And, providing them with up to date dependable equipment while enlisted.

  6. Exactly who would join up the military in Canada when we’ve become a radical Liberal Party of Canada run country with no core values, no common history, and and let’s not forget Trudeau’s favorite saying “a post-national country” where everybody is a bloody Foreigner with absolutely no ties whatsoever to this country and it’s people.
    Oh and let’s not forget the Liberal Party of Canada governments hellbent machinations at disarming the entire country of every firearm owned by a Canadian so that in the future nobody will ever know which way to hold a rifle and which end is which.

  7. I needed a good laugh today.

    Oh yeah. Sure. Who in his right mind is going to be forced to be the last to die for French on cereal boxes?

    It’s different in Israel, where the price of defeat would be a second Holocaust. The price of “defeat” in Canada would be a system of government that’s much better than what we have now.

    Oh, and being rid of Postmedia. I can live with that.

  8. Radical left wing government needs to indoctrinate all young people into their culture change.

    Force would have to be used against them but it might work…

    Boring, tired old ideas are always good to fill space in times like these.

  9. The types that would join the military will not join the Canadian military. They are not eunuchs as yet.

  10. Even 10 years ago this might have worked. I’m not sure there’s enough capacity left in Canada’s military (at least who are in their right mind) who could absorb the number of conscriptees they would get and pass on all the useful lessons and values the author suggests

  11. Let’s compare joining the military in the U.S. versus Canada,

    U.S.
    no metric, no french, 1st, 2nd, and a whole lot of amendments that protect citizens from their government, strongest military in the world, better pay, and better equipped, a country that stands with their flag, not just when it is politically convenient, a culture that defends itself, and not assimilates to immigrants,

    Canada
    ????? cause the lineup to MAID was too long?

    1. “no metric”

      Right there is enough reason to stay out. Also for all their amendments they are still going broke and authoritarian.

      1. America going broke is not their problem. It’s yours. They got entrepreneurship, a work ethic and a wealth of resources. What you got? CPP? Laurentian elites? No pipelines?

          1. You clearly have never worked in the head office of a major Canadian bank. I have on a 2 year contract, including close cooperation with OCC, Fed, OSFI and the OSC.

            Your banks are no where close.

            You also missed the part where we don’t care how much debt we have. Once we start the charge-backs to the defence freeloaders like you, look out.

  12. Not sure where to start here,

    “Post national states don’t need a military.”
    “Genocidal states shouldn’t be allowed to have a military.”

    We could also look at how military personnel are treated. Get injured on the job, mentally or physically, and they offer you MAiD. Proper equipment is scarce and sub-standard, with soldiers paying out of pocket to get things they used to be issued not that long ago. They also claw back any “freebees” you used to get because only politicians are “entitled to their entitlements.”

    Yeah, I can see why the government would need conscription in order to fill their quotas. No one in their right mind would want to go through hell just to be treated like dirt.

  13. // It’s no secret that Canada’s military is having trouble recruiting people. //

    Recruiting recent immigrants/refugees to the military & offering a fast track to citizenship & some GI bill type benefits might be an idea in Canada as well as those European countries gearing up just now.
    They are generally younger & in better shape.

    // According to a briefing from June 2024,
    72% of Canadian Armed Forces personnel are considered either overweight or obese,
    which is higher than the general population.
    This trend has been associated with an increase in sick days and reduced readiness and productivity.

    Regarding immigrants and refugees, studies have shown that immigrants are less likely to be obese or overweight upon arrival in Canada compared to native-born Canadians. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15972242/

    1. “Regarding immigrants and refugees, studies have shown that immigrants are less likely to be obese or overweight upon arrival in Canada compared to native-born Canadians.”
      .
      Bwahahaha!!!!
      If I live to be a hundred I’ll never forget how all those thousands of Somali immigrants that came to Canada as refugees and scammers , and moved across the street from me , were all skinny as rakes and within a year or two I watched every last stinking one of them turn into huge 300 lb blobs of fat !!!!!

    2. 2 thirds of Canadian forces officers are CIC. (Cadet Instructor Cadre). The critical mission that has been undertaken the last few years has been destruction of dress codes,ensuring proper language and basically destruction of “spree decor”. You know stuff like elimination of any reference such as “man-made structures”. There is very little of the military left.

  14. I can’t defend myself in this country…yet the country wants me to defend it.

    Go pound it.

    1. “I can’t defend myself in this country…yet the country wants me to defend it.”

      My thoughts as well. If anyone should ever violently attack you in Canada, the proper (legal) response is to either run away or curl up into the fetal position and pray not be beaten to death.

      (oh, sorry…did I say “pray”? Yeah, don’t do that…you’ll end up in even more trouble. HOPE not to be beaten to death. But take heart in knowing that even if you end up dying, at least the person who killed you will do a few years in prison. Maybe.)

    1. Buddy

      Yes to that. I’ve danced with UM before years ago. At that time he was all for illegal entry of grifters from the US at Canadian Border crossings. Lost cause even replying to the fool.

      bverwey

  15. Canada is a small nation in nominal possession of a very large country which is much too large for it to occupy or defend and most of it is uninhabitable for most Canadians.

    To enforce our sovereignity over this country requires a military capability we do not have and are unwilling and unable acquire and maintain. It would at the very least include universal conscription into all the arms and services for more than a year of full time service to become trained to a useful level and at least a decade of periodic refresher training and exercise deployments anywhere and liability into middle age to be recalled for active service in case of national emergency.

    1. “Canada is a small nation in nominal possession of a very large country which is much too large for it to occupy or defend and most of it is uninhabitable for most Canadians.”
      .
      And you would think a country like that would be smart enough to encourage its peoples to own firearms and know how to use them, instead of trying to confiscate their guns and turn every one of them into a criminal

  16. We don’t need more people in camo or Officer Dickheads polishing chairs in Ottawa.
    Drones – sea, land and air – and missiles, satellites and other tech shit that murder-fcks anyone trespassing or causing shit or just looking at us funny (Like UnMe’s relatives) – specifically in the arctic, DEW Line and above, where nobody wants to go 8 months of the year.

    1. “I wish you guys would quit feeding unme, ruins the thread”

      You’re right. My bad.

      Maybe if we all ignore it, it will get annoyed and go away?

  17. I’m fine with conscription. I doubt Canada is capable of doing this.
    I’m not ok with Canada underfunding all aspects of the military, nor including military pensions as part of their active military spending, oh having a great percentage of serving members “serving” in Ottawa for decades, making decisions which are absolutely simple.
    If Canada doesn’t have it in it to double military spending, and to provide equipment you’d be capable of risking your life with, and to pay for education and “poor health outcomes” during and after service time, I’d expect those being called up to simply walk across the border.
    They should be permitted to keep their rifles too, as part of a reserve of sorts, as Switzerland has their “heads of the household” show up for some training each year.

    I don’t think Canada has it in it. I think conscription is beyond it, and Canadians as a group are not capable of having the spine to do this right.
    And, having some people say, “I’m not fighting as I don’t believe in it” … or “I’m with the clergy or studying to serve religious orders”, or “I’m French or whatever and we’re not really cut out for fighting”, or my parents are both members of the NDP or Greens or #Librano Party of Canada and we don’t actually serve…
    Those folks can go to “the front” where they’ll be needed even more urgently.

  18. LOL.. I would say near zero % of turdholes economic migrants are interested in sitting in a mud hole with a rusty rifle in their hands.. They are here to enrich themselves.. Not fight for ??? Whatever we stand for..

  19. But then again.. All the female economic migrants need to be drafted into the Canadian military ASAP.. I fully support this..
