The Canadian military has been dilapidated, and I believe is no longer a functioning fighting force. The decline has not bottomed out yet. The plummet is continuing. The military has high attrition and feeble recruiting numbers, creating a steady decay that must be stopped for Canada to have a functioning force. Leadership is what is lacking. A good leader creates an environment where people feel proud to serve. That pride is mostly gone, and morale is at a very low point. The troops we have need better funding for better gear and training, that's a good start. The procurement process needs to become 95% more efficient . We have to treat our serving members with respect, listen to them, and adjust where need be. Retention has to be priority. With an environment that supports retention, recruiting will be far easier. Friends and family members of members will start to be encouraged to join themselves. There is a lot more to it, but the above is a good start. Pierre Poilievre John Brassard John Barlow

Also promote the warrior ethos. The priorty needs to be war fighting. No pride parades, no wildfire rescue no helping old ppl in homes. Just war.

The journey starts with the first step, who wants to go for a walk, destinations unknown.

back to the dark ages of the Liberals in the early 90s, when we had soldiers and their families going to the food bank.

If the serving men and women don't feel valued, what is the point in staying?
