How badly have the Liberals in Ottawa decimated the Canadian Armed Forces? In 1938, the Cdn army alone had 63,000 men under arms. Plus the navy. The air force hadn't been fully formed yet. In 1945, From a population base of just over 12 million, Canada had sent a MILLION combatants into harm's way.
We had done most of the coastal mop-up, and liberated the low countries while England, Russia, and America chased the Nazi Wehrmacht back to Berlin.
We had the third largest navy on earth.
Today, as we speak, the TOTAL armed personnel in the forces (army, navy and air force combined) is less than 55,000. From a population of just over 30 million.
It's an utter disgrace.
Give it a couple years & the United States navy will be in charge of the coastal defense of Canada & will go after smugglers right into Canada's ports & when the Canadian govt. tries to make a stink the Sec of State willsimply state for the world to hear that Canada is America great freind BUT it is Not able to defend itself as it has so mismanaged it's affairs & as that is the case the United States Navy is now defacto running Canada's maritime security. That would get a whole lot of folks in the great white north seriously embarassed
