It doesn't seem possible for there to be a shortage of men in Canada.

But maybe the legacy of Pierre Trudeau has finally borne it effeminate fruit.

“Canadian officers say women warriors proved as effective as men in front-line combat roles”

All you need to know about that bogus statement is to compare woman fire fighters to men. The truth is that they are no where near close to what the men can do. The woman can barely lift a third of there own weight, but they get paid the same. That's what it is all about. Equal outcomes.

To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.

Canada Ping!

Women are only excluded from the draft according to the last federal court rulings, because they were prohibited from the cobat roles the draft was meant to fill.

A right for women to be in combat units means that women will have to register for the draft and will not be excluded.

This is utterly depraved. And i will make sure my daughter is not enslaved into a sodomite lead, moslem loving military. At any cost.

When they draft them, they will simply get pregnant to avoid deployment.

Israel, France, Norway, Australia and New Zealand are among countries that allow women to fight in many combat roles.

So what. I'm more concerned about what our potential enemies are doing.

[Gay State Conservative]

I've seen it suggested that only Congress has the authority to allow women into combat.Of course the spineless Republican leadership will probably just bend over and take it.

The big question is who is going to pay for their birth control?

...many of the women who volunteered for these jobs got the impression that their senior officers used them only sparingly in combat.

Oh, my, how dare those evil men insist on protecting women?

Lordy, what have we come to?

The problem is that the Canadians do not “dumb down” the selection process for the infantry, armor, or artillery arms. If the woman can pass the same selection process as the men, they can play in the big league. The reason why the women feel isolated is because so FEW women can pass selection process and waivers are not granted.

In the U.S., our PC leaders would not insist on merit selection. They would rig the process with waivers so the girls could qualify. In so doing they risk the lives of both our warriors who make the cut without waivers and those who get the waivers because of their sex.

I don’t believe many women will see combat. I see this as a largely symbolic move to shut up the feminazis and allow women to get the fuzzy-wuzzy feeling about their gov’t.

[Sequoyah101]

To the following sentence, on both counts, there is a reason:

“But Canada has struggled to fill combat jobs with women, and those who do join can feel isolated as a result. And like Cpl. Moman, many of the women who volunteered for these jobs got the impression that their senior officers used them only sparingly in combat.”

Women do not belong in combat with men. It is stupid to try it.

“their senior officers used them only sparingly in combat.”

My suspicion is that they’d complain also if their senior officers ordered them to do the same thing that they order the male soldiers to do. It’s really a Catch-22 for the military. If they don’t use them, they get complaints. But if they really treated them like the men, they’d also get complaints.
