We need to stand up and put this country Canada back on track. We need real leadership and less drama.
It’s a tough job to advise people that just won’t listen, lead people that have no support, and defend a nation struggling with so many domestic issues.
This is not a domestic issue
There is a really good article I'd love to link but it goes along the lines of everything looked good when I got here.
Disregarding the previous perils.
first world problem...domestic issues is a hyperbole. Come to Norway and experience true nationalistic dystopia.
@@darrennaomi4799 The military gets sucked into everything from floods, fires, domestic surveillance, and search &rescue.
I know the man and he was our Base Commander in Petawawa. An honourable man that has tired to deal with a Government that would rather ensure Tampons are in the Mens Washroom than deal with the real world. I served 241/2 years and if it comes doing do it would suite up in defence of Canada and I fear we are so behind due to the lack of Civilian support , if it wasn’t the fact we live beside the USA would would be rolled over! Thanks for your service Sir, Airborne!
Bad foresight again.
@@darrennaomi4799 I see your comments, so you have served with whom? I have done those things, including combat in Afghanistan and all manner of deployments. If you think what has happened to the CAF because of Inclusion agenda is a benefit, prove me wrong!
For ever remembered for participating in parliament's praise-a-yatzy standing ovation group think penguin act. The esteemed guest having been just a few seats away from him. And then refusing to comment after the fact.
Gen. Eyre is a man of integrity, and true soldiers are like that. Canada's challenges at home and abroad are profound, demanding serious thinking and timely action. The current economic scenario and defence cuts in a post-pandemic world have affected Canada's commitment to its men and women in the uniform. Honourable officers and senior commanders live by and set examples by leading from the front, and Gen. Eyre did precisely that. I hope the government of Canada and the political stakeholders make prudent and non-partisan decisions in a timely fashion in a financial, political, diplomatic and international context. In today's world, unwise decisions put everything at risk and make it hard to catch up, like equipment buying, recruiting personnel and devising viable strategies at operational and strategic levels.
Gen. Eyre's decision is a wake-up call for Canada to wake up and realize the potential pitfalls of a changing-polarized world, and over 60% of Canadian forces, its men and women, are burnt out because of Afghanistan and repeated exposure to war zones and calls of duty at home from pandemic to forest fires. The least the Government of Canada can do is not make cutbacks when everything is stretched to the max. It would not be fair to demand and expect the Canadian Armed Forces members to perform at an optimal level under the circumstances. I know someone who offered free-of-cost PTSD treatment for Canadian Afghan Veterans who hit a stone wall. If that is the attitude, there will be budget cuts in Canada for its forces and a 75 billion dollars gift to Lockheed Martin for F-35s, but cutting one billion for the armed forces at home.
Canada pencil pusher Generals to Soldiers ratio is very high compared to any other military on the planet.
Can't fault this guy's sense of timing.
Why
Thank you for your.
Thank you for your service sir.
I agree.
..
I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for the Chief of Defence Staff to deal with the political landscape in Ottawa during his tenure. He has been fighting for funding for the men and women who defend our country and has had virtually no support from the Trudeau Liberals. Ulike his political masters, he has served his country with distinction.
Why, oh why, won't Trudeau follow his lead?
Horrible take, is Trudeau supposed to be a general as well? What is wrong with people like yourself?
Stand out commander, cares enough about canadians to tell them the truth and reality. Unlike mister Justin.
Gen. Eyre served as a CO for 3PPCLI a former colleague now UFC referee told me the days of his command. Told the NCOs to get to know your boys and drink with em. That man was for the troops! many others said they would follow that man to battle any day.
That moments are tomorrow.
Canada need to focus on builder a stronger army, its been neglected for so many years... I don't understand how we will ever be ready....
Can you blame the poor bugger? He's being constantly asked to do EVERYTHING WITH NOTHING!!!!! By the Trudeau government and on top of that to also cut spending!!!! I used to support the government but clearly it's time we fired them and found some people who can do a better job , thank you for your service General ❤
Good!!!!
He should retire in shame for what he has done to the Canadian military.
This guy would make the best Trudeau replacement why? He's young but not too young, he's a long term Veteran, he's been in the parliament fold, He's pro rebuilding our nations defense which we needed for 70 years. He's a hard liner for what we need. Any Canadian and allied Nation would support him if they paid attention to what's going on in Canada the world and our allies
Huh! Canada had a chief of staff?
Won’t save him from prosecution 😉
pierre will help us and restore our once great country
Distance himself from Trudeau, Smart man.
To bad Trudeau won't go with him
I heard his replacement identifies as a general
I'm still waiting to here what ever happened to General Trevor Cadeiu or is he still in Russian prison
More like the russians are coming im outta here😂.
The leadership of canada's military has been stripped clean of top brass the last few years. We need officers with experience in the coming decade and to meet our nato commitments.
We need out of Nato.
Too bad Trudeau doesn't spend on Canadas military. Russia is 50 miles from the USA boarder. Trudeau MUST GO as Canada is at risk. Freeland and Justin have overspent on her homeland of Ukraine.
Without nato your notning have you seen your military 😂@steveatlas3492
glad were spending all this money on tampons for the mens washrooms
Nows not a good time to leave traitor
Canada's military has become a woke joke.
Exactly.
Explain?
Because our military has become inclusive? And I bet y'all have never spent a day doing what these citizens do for us to keep our country safe.
@@darrennaomi4799inclusive is one thing the military has been inclusive for a few decades now. DEI is a whole different thing which is what they’ve started the past few years.
I spent 30 years in the regular force. The Canadian Forces was always a melting pot. It took civilians of all stripes and turned them into a unified disciplined machine. I left in 2013, and believe you me...today's military could not hold a candle to the one I left, and that is a huge disappointment to people like me...who served. How many days di "y'all" serve????@@darrennaomi4799
🫡
50 bucks says his replace has color in their hair . Not that we have a military anymore
Most likely a Trans 😂
Canada Continues each year to screw up Canada more each month for decades upon decades. When will it be time to realize Canada is a failed state or Do what's needed to be done and not continue doing what's politically popular. Canada needs to spend a minimum of 3% to 7% gdp on defense for a cycle or two while spending money on what we need what's most efficient and rebuilding everything then our defense budget would drop and our defense would rise. Our problems are defense spending but not alot its mainly spending the money in areas that make the most sense not focusing on what's popular like aquireing advanced technology that's used but rarely used like buying us France Britain nuclear submarines multirole, that are older or buy new off the shelf fast delivery get a sub that will last longer get it faster more effective in all areas more affordable and better having a small advanced nuclear sub fleet than a large brand new made in Canada diesel sub fleet which would take decades to build and employ not many people like our warships the price were paying for them we could purchase off the shelf frigate destroyers and corvettes we should get real on missile defense it's not popular if it's unrealistic for defense then go for a strong offense that includes a strong deterrence like hypersonic missiles and multi platform supersonic nuclear armed cruise missiles along with nuclear attack missiles in the Arctic which can wipe out Russian Arctic infrastructure bomber fleets there missiles and so on. This all sounds crazy but in reality we could be like France but better in the sense we could have a Five eyes defense force with 3 out 5 or 4 out 5 with nuclear capabilities missile defense advanced strike missiles larger more diverse navys airforce armies and more co op missions projects with America Britain Australia and other allied nations which would up our defense up our defense jobs and exports also instead of dropping money in nations in need of help we send our made in Canada or partly made in Canada weapons and or send in our well equipped navy army airforce helping out allies more and helping our selves more. All this is how we use to do it and the world was a safer place for Canada and our allies
shame on him the way he caved and did not protect the armed services from the crap
He's at retirement age gfys
Shame on him? He did everything he could being the CDS with a government that wouldn't back him up and actually DECREASED the funding for the military. It really was out of his realm.
He'll be on the street and going to food banks in no time.
Who is this hunter biden?
I wonder what the new one’s pronouns will be.
Nice One 🤭
Military should just be overseen by govt and ran by Committee. Canada like its military are broken
