This year's Remembrance ceremonies blew up a storm of controversies in Canada. First it was a Nova Scotian school asking that uniforms not be worn as they might 'trigger' some children, and this year is the 5th anniversary since the CBC fired iconic hockey broadcaster Don Cherry for his remarks about poppies. It is time to target Remembrance in Canada.

With Donald Trump's election victory there comes renewed pressure for Canada to increase defence spending. It is time to target how the Canadian Armed Forces can appease Trump and keep those extra dollars spent in Canada.

On Remembrance Day it is not enough to simply pin on a poppy and stand silent for two minutes. It is a time for all Canadians to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who serve in uniform. It is also a time for sombre mourning and never an occasion to glorify the horrors of war.

For more than 5 years now, Afghan-Canadian Language and Culture Advisors (LCA) who patrolled alongside our soldiers in Afghanistan have been fighting an uphill battle to get treatment and compensation for the wounds they suffered during that decade-long conflict. It is time to target the sad saga of the LCA's and the bureaucracy that is thwarting them.

The military senior leadership continues to mishandle the sexual assault case which occurred on the NATO base in Latvia in December 2022.

The Canadian Armed Forces just invested $34.8 million in new sleeping bags for the Army. Problem is that they are not suitable for use in a typical Canadian winter. It is time to target just how far off the mark are the DND procurement officials?

No matter how you add up the numbers, the Canadian Armed Forces forces fail to add up to an effective fighting force. It is high time to implement an emergency surge call-up of recently released veterans to train new recruits and to make the 'non-deployable' deployable.

Canada has just announced that the Royal Canadian Navy will purchase a fleet of 8 - 12 new diesel-electric submarines to replace the aging Victoria class subs. What they failed to mention is that in a perfect world, the first of these new submarines will not be delivered until 2037! It is time to target the sad saga of subs in Canadian service.

We have security experts warning that the odds of Canada being drawn into a conventional war are currently at "50-50", and NATO urging it's members to mobilize. It is time to target just how prepared is Canada for a potential full-scale conventional war?

The Canadian Armed Forces were not properly equipped to fight the War in Afghanistan until they were already withdrawn from that un-winnable conflict. Today the CAF remains well configured to fight a counter-insurgency against an ill equipped foe. However, there is nothing on the order books to indicate that the military braintrust is preparing to fight a near-peer conventional war...like the one that has been raging in Ukraine for two and a half years. It is time to target, which war are we planning to fight next?
