Never fight for a country that hates you.
I have trouble not seeing this tweet as a deliberate Fuck You to normal people.
I’m sure that’s NOT what it is. I’m sure it was designed by multiple highly paid civil servants. And yet it’s indistinguishable from a gratuitous insult, piss-take or indeed satire.

Defence Minister Says Personnel Shortage a ‘Death Spiral’ for Military, Presses for Speedier Recruiting of Non-Citizens
Because diversity is our strength: Department of National Defence report also says almost half of military’s equipment is ‘unserviceable’ Or worse.

A Man In Uniform
What we’re seeing has the air of a civilisational shit test.
A cross-dressing Lieutenant Colonel demands “dignity and respect,” while insulting his audience. Specifically, by insisting that they become cowed and dishonest.

One of these things is not like the other.
National Post- As all of its peer countries rearm, Canada is shrinking its already underfunded military
National Post- Canada could find itself embroiled in a hot war it isn’t expecting: Canada Undefended
Eye in the sky to track Russkies on the ground
Canada’s paying about $118,000 each for 800 drones to be supplied to Ukraine. Notably, none of these seem to be fitted to drop grenades or mortar bombs, which is a crying shame.
This is at least Canada doing something. However, as a former reservist who follows such things, I don’t think we have that many drones in our entire military here in the land of the beaver. I could be wrong, but I don’t think I am. We should be making a matching order, ourselves.
EDIT: missed this part: “can handle a variety of payloads up to 3.5 kilograms, including munitions.”
If the Russians aren’t stopped in Ukraine, we’ll be fighting them in a NATO country next. I know nothing of this news site – if it’s Russian or what (says you can read in Russian), but it has several articles making noise that Russia is starting to agitate on Norwegian islands in the Arctic. Wasn’t it just a month ago Norway’s top general warned of impending war with Russia?
Wait a minute…
You don’t have to be a Canadian citizen to be in the Canadian military?
Sun- Few immigrant applicants to Canadian military get enlisted
In 2022, the military altered regulations that promised a quicker path to citizenship for landed immigrants if they enlisted as soldiers, sailors and air crew.
Due to a 35% decline in recruitment numbers in 2022 — from 8,069 to 5,242 volunteers — the military turned to foreigners who had army training to fill the gap.

How Do You Ask A Man To Be The Last Woman To Die For A Post-National State?
The Department of National Defence says it won’t stand for members of the Canadian Armed Forces removing or vandalizing the feminine hygiene fixtures now required in men’s washrooms.
True North has received reports and photos of damaged or removed tampon dispensers and disposal units, which were mandated in all federally regulated male and female washrooms late last year.
Our country is being run by a cabal of our enemies.

Interesting Engineering- 10 of the most advanced military robots in the world
The army is already using automated machines for a variety of purposes — from transportation, training, search and rescue, to clearing mines, fighting fire, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
Most commonly, military robots can be broken down into three types: Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV).
