      God I’m sick of the Canadian decline of politics into American politics.

      What does that even mean? Only straight white men allowed?

      Besides popular slogans, can anyone tell me what the conservatives actually stand for besides “not Trudeau”

      Speaking to former service members, the issue I’ve heard isn’t that the military is woke, it’s more systemic than that.

      They didn’t have the institutional capacity to train new members properly in the last large recruitment wave, well prior to COVID. Which meant that members eventually got promoted before they were ready (due to later shortages) and couldn’t train new members properly. Which meant that when the current recruitment crisis hit, they were both understaffed and underprepared to train. The diversity initiative is as much a reaction to the fact that traditional servicemember populations simply aren’t applying any more as it is a seen need for a more representative military.

      It goes way deeper and more complicated than “woke”.

      That’s all fine and dandy but the real way to boost recruitment undoubtedly is to increase pay and benefits significantly. This is a win-win because it would also contribute to our 2% NATO limit.

      I am in the military and I am not sure what ‘woke culture’ we are talking about here.

      I saw someone with purple hair once I guess…..

      I am so fucking sick of the politics of Vibes. “I’m the anti-woke candidate!” “I’m the anti-MAGA (MCGA?) candidate!” Can we please just outline some actual goddamn policy?

      Straighten out the top heavy structure and fund it properly. I don’t care if they’re gay, straight or asexual. If they are willing to go shoot bullets for their country, MY COUNTRY, I’m fine with whatever their proclivities.

      Poilievre is seeking to increase in sexual harassment in the military?

      I remember being a very young looking 14 year old female cadet and being sexually harassed and cancelled on dozens of occasions by reservists/reg force more than a decade my senior.

      Let’s bring that back for sure. Make our military great again. 🙄

      From the article, talking about GBA Plus:

      >And this relates to Ukraine’s existential fight against the Russian invasion how?

      Hey Brian,

      GBA Plus was specifically requested from us by Ukraine to help modernize our FTA and assist with their ongoing attempt to join NATO.

      But you probably knew that. You probably wrote this buzzword, hatemongering opinion piece for the same reason Poilievre rallies against the foggy and non-existent concept of “wokeness” – because you knew it would rile up the people you want to rile up.

      I’m sure it will work. Great job.

      The next prime minister of Canada everybody.

      Proof that we can do worse than Trudeau.

    21. Upstairs-Weakness-48 on

      How about you get security clearance instead Pierre instead of focussing on non-issues

    24. AngryMaritimer on

      Anytime I hear the word Woke, I immediately stop reading and paying attention to anybody it comes from.

    25. Negative_Pea_1974 on

      Does nobody ask pp what exactly is this woke culture he wants to change? .. Give examples of what you’re talking about.. What exactly are the problems.. And what are your fixes?

      Like shit.. Maybe he’s right.. I don’t know.. You say that there is a problem.. Maybe I’m stupid.. Explain it out to me please

    26. Zephurdigital on

      Do any of these fucks understand what woke means or where it came/started from?

    27. Savings-Giraffe-4007 on

      Yeah, that ought to teach them!

      This man will focus on what Canada really needs.

      This, and also pansexual black albino male belly dancers, the horrors of the woke causing the problems we urgently need to fix!

      Woke culture?

      As someone whose been serving for over 15 years, I will say the navy culture has changed a lot but I wouldn’t call it woke. I’d call it more in line with respect of human dignity and what you’d want from a positive work space. Been a long time before someone showed me their dick unwarranted, told me to calm my tits, or get sand out of my vagina.

      Still not perfect, but well on track. If that’s woke, then I’m scared of the world and military he wants.

    30. CHUD_LIGHT on

      Meaningless phrase with no actionable way of doing. I’m removing woke from pencils

    31. TorontoScorpion on

      More culture war nonsense to distract you from your declining material conditions while the ruling class robs you blind

    33. ilikepeople331a on

      Pretty sure that “ woke” ain’t the problem in the military.

    34. RingsChuck on

      i’m in the military now, no one here gives a fuck and a lot of them are okay with it.
