I applied in 2019, and they got back to me 2 years later. Would’ve loved to have served, but a lot of my colleagues are ex-forces and told me that I dodged a bullet.
DEI in military is the sketchiest policy of all. “Let’s hire minorities to die in war”
>“When I joined (the military), there were 12 per cent women and a whole load of trades had just opened up to us,” Barbara reflects. “And we’ve made it to about 17 per cent.”
So men are still 83% of enlisted members? I’m confused to the point trying to be made here?
I don’t care what your identity is. You’re joining the military. You should expect to both work hard and fight if your country asks. Use whatever bathroom you want. But know how to use that rifle as well.
> “I heard my mom and dad talking about taking a second mortgage on their house and business to send me to Carleton to study journalism,” she reports, “and I felt so ashamed … I went off to the recruiting centre to join the army.”
Well damn, props to her for being so conscientious of her parent’s financial state as a teenager.
> The CAF has focused its recruiting on this target, Barbara rails, “and then we added all of the DEI, tiny little minority special interest groups to that quota. And now we spend money making a third bathroom or putting sanitary napkins in the men’s room and stuff, but **we’re still buying our own helmets.**”
Anyone served/ serving in CAF that can verify this to be true? If so it’s very damning to the priorities of those setting the budget
I think they just need to recruit in general.
Yeah? Well this is Canada so that ain’t gonna happen.
Not sure why anyone in their right mind would join the Canadian Forces, lol.
I shit you fucking not, our current CDS put out a paper while she was Comd CPCC about stopping using words like “Warrior” as they were offensive.
This is your military.
We’re supposed to shoot people in the fucking face and drop warheads on foreheads, but we’re distracted by this fucking shit.
Canadian Forces member here: a major issue we have in the forces is people with rank and power don’t say or do shit to fix anything, release, and suddenly they have all the answers.
We really need to stop importing the bullshit from U.S. politics. “Warriors not DEI hires” is like verbatim from a recent Trump speech.
Not fighting for your cause, not like Canada is really ours anymore….
He sounds radicalized.
Lol the military just lost a huge class action lawsuit for sexual misconduct. Expect DEI policies to be expanded upon.
18 months, application deleted. reaaply, wait 11 months, interview scheduled. covid lockdown. interview postponed 6 mos. After all that waiting i ended up earning 3x what they offer and said f*** it.
The CAF used to run on a mantra of “soldier first” that means no matter what trade you were. You were a soldier first and a technician or supply tech whatever trade second.
This had to be the case because the CAF is so small, it couldn’t afford for its soldiers not to be soldiers.
Due to budget issues this all seems to go to the wayside.
Support trades are only doing weapons training once every 3 years now, only getting trained on primary weapon. No sidearm. Training was cut back, Field training was cut back. Exercises are less frequent
How about you just broadly recruit and then you evaluate the applicants according to internal standards and provide extra training to the successful ones.
We don’t need a bunch of old man virtue signaling. It doesn’t help achieve the objective of enticing more people to sign up to potentially join.
From the article:
> “And what dismays me,” she continues, “is that it seems like a lot of our senior leaders … many of them are women now, have embraced this.”
The CAF is a highly political organization internally, especially in the officer ranks. Anyone not adhering to the ‘dogma’ being set by the CDS and the CAF at large is going to have limitations put on their career (postings, promotions, etc). ‘STFU and stay in your lane’ is the way it works in the CAF…
No one to be sacraficed for Trudeau’s bloodlust against Russia
Gotta recruit all the public transit murderers.
When your house is on fire and your kids are still in there … who do you want to show up to help ? The one that got the job because of her genitals ? or skin colors ? Or the best of the best ?
Get rid of quotas. Hire the most qualified person for the job. Period. This should apply everywhere.
We only need warriors if we want war. If we don’t want war, we don’t need warriors. Simple as.
The CAF can recruit whomever they want. However, if they’re not allowed to properly discipline recruits, you’re going to have a bunch of shitpumps who will perpetually be a drag on the system. Personal identity has very little purpose (especially in the early years) in military service. Shut up and do what you’re told, nobody cares about your pronouns.
Yes let’s follow what our southern neighbors are all about
We’ve always had a recruitment problem let’s make this a problem too
Get lost. Across the board military enlistment is in the toilet. You take what you can get. War is a racket.
What a load of nonsense hyperbole lol. Perhaps the systematic issues, poor management, and a history of abuse and bad behaviours within the ranks is driving away the ‘good recruits’? You don’t just get to blame ‘legacy media’ for reporting the bad things that have happened within the military and dismiss the harms that has done to how people see the Forces.
Very subtle culture war bait.
