Canadian military will rely on an army of public servants to boost its ranks by 300,000

Worried that Trump might invade? Or that western provinces might secede?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

...ramp up an army of 300,000 as part of a mobilization plan...

"Mobilization" for what?

Invading Iceland?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Jennie and Stefani got this.

The thought of these snivel serpents trying to survive a day on the range, let alone a week, is... hilarious. I wouldn’t trust them not to hurt themselves with a slingshot, let alone a firearm.

I know some retired Canadian military

They tell me the USA could march across the border today, and there would be almost no military opposition, and half the Canadian population would immediately support the USA.

They’re going to give a desk-riding pencil pusher one week of training and send him out with a loaded firearm? Whoever thought that one up should be writing TV comedy.

[Mastador1]

The breakaway provinces, that’s what for.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Can’t have no runaway slaves.

[Leaning Right]

Remember how the Canadian government cracked down on the trucker protests back in 2022?

Ottawa can’t have such freedom (oops, I mean lawlessness) occur again. So maybe that plays a part here.

Canadian troops mustering to their Southern border

[silverleaf]

Guess so, if Canada needs an army of 300,000

Maybe their primary mission will be suppressing dissent against the liberal and globalist agenda and facilitating the demise of western culture

[Savage Beast]

So Canada’s going to stock the military with bureaucrats? What could possibly go wrong?

[Resolute Conservative]

The McKinzie brothers are officer material.

[DownInFlames]

Break out the tutus.

[wally_bert]

We’d also teach them how to say the letter “o” properly.

[puppypusher]

Canada should be embarrassed knowing that it doesn’t have the resources to defend its own country. A nation the size of Canada with less 200 thousand personnel on active duty. What a joke. Then they get all high and mighty acting as if they’re a really important country and insulting the people south of their border who they depend on keeping them free.

Whoever thought that one up should be writing TV comedy.

As I started reading this I thought it was the Babylon Bee.

Giving 300K postal and DMV employees firearms is a really stupid idea.

[yuleeyahoo]

To subdue their natural born citizens who oppose becoming a third world country.

“They tell me the USA could march across the border today, and there would be almost no military opposition, and half the Canadian population would immediately support the USA.”

That probably would be equally true if Russia or China invaded.

Canada is a joke.

[null and void]

"Mobilization" for what?

Beats me. We haven't invaded them since 1812...
