Canada’s “New Army”: 300,000 Bureaucrats in Uniform

Ottawa is planning to “expand” Canada’s military by training up to 300,000 bureaucrats as part-time soldiers.

One week a year.
Shooting guns. Driving trucks. Flying drones.

At the same time, the government is spending $80 billion on defence — while recruitment collapses, veterans leave, and the top general cries on camera about systemic racism.

This isn’t a defence plan. It’s a performance.
