I served as a Canadian Military Engineer in the '90's and was proud of how much Canadian servicemen and women did with so little support from the government. As a CME we had a high operational tempo in order to meet our deployment and training exercises, which we did but only by sacrificing our family lives. At times the supply issues were so bad that we had to wear worn out combat uniforms as there were no replacements and once we were ordered to turn in one of the two pairs of combat boots we were issued so Supply could issue them to others. Used combat boots! More than once we had to rely on American transport aircraft to get us to joint training exercises and with the closure of CFB Chilliwack we had to train at Ft. Lewis in Washington state. Yet despite the government's lack of support for the Canadian Forces we all dug down deep and made do with what we had although I must admit that it was always a concern that if the government couldn't properly support us during peacetime we better the heck not go to war! CHIMO!
@@NickyKDChaleunphone We have our new Arctic/Opv but no new replacements for our regular ones. Although they might get replacements soon. At least one company in Canada has been putting together a replacement bid in anticipation that it will be announced soon.
Retired RCN ; I believe Canada should have been a submarine navy, hunter killer/ surveillance patrol. Best bang for your dollar overall. We should have purchased or built the German Type submarine. Surface ships are just top water targets. Canada had the option in the early 2000s to obtain these sleek ultra quiet killing machines of the deep and further more to build more here. These were at the time state of the art. Once again a group of numpty’s in Ottawa said no and the contracts were laid to build ice breaker patrol ships when the ice now for the most part is slush. 🤪.
Beautiful ships when parked in Victoria harbor. Best admired from a distance or kiss your money and boat license good bye. I'm talking to you, you little kayakers and canoeists.
I have alot of pride in our military folks. These people make it look like a good occupation. But remember, they say and do what they are told to do and say. Reality is, nobody wants to join because our government treats them like peons. They have WW2 equipment to deal with. In Latvia had to use hand me downs or extra helmets and warmer clothing from other militaries. Plus have to ask their families to send them food. Their pensions and medicals suck big time. So yup, people are just gonna line up to join. You can stay home and much safer and make the same or better pay and medical on welfare. Our military should make more money than our highest paid police force. They are our country police . On call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year do deal with any threats from anywhere in the world. Not like our police that just just deal with local problems and do a shoddy job at that.
I love how our brave sailors low key talk about they make miracle with nothing. Management main focus is diversity and inclusion instead of supplying our sailors with the equipment they need. The younger generation can see through the fake facade and have no interest in joining a leadership that demonizes them.

Don't be fooled. Behind every Recruiting video is a bunch of burnt out salty sailors just buying their time til they VR. And this is command "promising" rest and recuperation amongst their sailors while they're out there on their 4th deployment.
only has 12 anti ship missiles and i don't remember how many anti air missiles i think its like 20. It is pretty bad, don't know what they were thinking when it was designed.
@@leecrumble3921 Actually what is being looked at are replacement subs. What is being negotiated about are up to 12 KSS 3s. Development partnerships for the new subs has been going on for a while. Far more useful than a carrier.
Canada's military spending is about the same as Australia's, why do they have aircraft carriers (two！) and advanced destroyers, and we only have some 30 years old ships?where did the money go？Type 26 frigate from British? where is our own defense industry？
The Aussies weren't ruined by the unification of their armed forces. Caf unification caused a spiral of "less personnel= less ships", and "less ships means less personnel". I'd also like to add on the fact we are buying 15 type 26 to the handful the Australians are buying. There is hope for the RCN, it'll just take our shipbuilding cranking into gear
To start with the Halifaxs were designed at the same time as the American Burkes, I knew a guy who was involved in their development. The full load of the Canadian Type 26 is that of the the American Burkes destroyer at 9400 tons or the Russian Muskova cruiser. Frigates????? Canada does not need carriers it would be a waste of money. The Australian's environment is quite different and does not have to do an Arctic build up as we do. Incident;y Canada is buying 88 Block 4 F35s vs the Australian 72 Blocks 1 through 3. The Subs that in the works possibly 12 KSS3 will also be at least partially built in or outfitted in Canada and the type 26s will be built in Canada. Canada is planning to build 15 and Australia 9. Note Canada must build a two ocean navy plus the Arctic. Carriers do nothing for that. Australia does not maintain much of a Coast Guard while Canada must maintain multiple ice breakers including the planned two heavy ice breakers. Canadian conditions are usually more challenging than those faced by Australia. Canadain shipbuilding is about 25% of the toal capacity in North America.
@@arabrem488 couldn't agree more, and I do know the fact that Canada bought 15 frigates, the problem is that the Type 26 is too expensive, i think 12 ships are enough to replace the Halifax-class frigate one-on-one, and the rest of money ,we can use to build a small aircraft carrier like Australia or Spain,wouldn't that be better？
Simply looking at money doesn’t mean that much you need to look at how the money is being spent I’d wager a lot more of Australias money is being spent of procurement vs Canadas budget also calling what Australia has an aircraft carrier is quite generous they are helicopter carriers/troopships which we don’t particularly need considering those types of ships don’t work well in an arctic environment we tested it in the 50s with HMCS Bonaventure.
Would love to see Canada contribute more to defending North America. With such a great maritime history and the northern pole still the closest distance to russia, why the government won't spend more on it's military I don't understand. Also, what use is a 40 or 57mm gun on a ship as big as a frigate? Anyone know? I mean REALLY..... a 2 or 6lb shell against what? Seems to me any vessel over 150 feet should have a 3" gun. Over 400' a 5"" gun, and over 550' maybe a new 7"" rapid fire gun for all NATO ships. Missles are so expensive and not needed if you had a gum with a worth while shell weight/size....
As always, there are numerous reasons. While not all of them are necessarily good reasons, perhaps perspective can be gained by understanding that the entire population of Canada is less than that of the state of California. The math, in terms of tax base, is fairly obvious. It'd be great if we spent at least the average of our European allies, but no one else on the planet spends the same percentage of federal budgets on defence as the U.S. does. Pretty sure most Canadians wouldn't want to do that, either.
@@paulcarter2048 There no reason why Canada can't increase defence spending. Upgrading our token capabilities and defending OUR arctic with Trillions of natural resources up there should be a top priority. Otherwise the Elephant down south might want to "liberate" us one day. We also have the population, technology and money to support a strong military. We just don't have the will.
CBC hates the military, i remember when some idiot grilled a new army recruit when he said he was ready to kill someone when he gets deployed to Afghanistan, you could tell the kid was nervous so he said he's not answering anymore questions.
The first and foremost consideration in Canadian National Defense is politics: Where the ship is going to be built, the # of jobs created, and the # of potential votes. The second consideration is the power of unions. Without unions and the people it employs nothing can be done. The third consideration is the personnel of DND itself who are poorly paid, poorly trained and the turn-over of personnel is very high. The equipment is often out of date by decades; The military mentality lags even futher behind. It is so sad that Canadian National Defense is being compromised by its own Natioal government first, and then by powerful unions desperate for work and who, in turn, have the ability to influence National elections. Canada should have been conquered long ago if it were somewhere in the middle of Europe.
As a civilian I respect military personnel but not the cause. I used to want to join the army when I was in my late teens I'm so glad I didn't. Rich people keep getting rich by sending young people over seas to fight for oil.
Well this is fantastic, but how about more of these ships ,and a couple of aircraft carriers and a few submarines that actually work. We haven't seen a carrier since the Bonaventure. The governments past and present are taking a big gamble not keeping our forces strong protecting the longest coastal land in the world. Our navy is a disgrace aswell as the other 2 military services. Not our fault as we are always looking to our government to be seeing this. The morons running our country past and present are the problem waisting our money
once we get the f35s rolling , we should add one on each coast and up above they say we are building 15 type 26 frigates thats impressive in and of itself
@@joemeatballs3694 increase pay a lil make that known and you will get more recruits ...i know its taxes but hey were 9th largest economy in world with like shit for brains army its ridiculous in any sense

Very interesting. Great men and women sailors. Question : What are we doing in the Mediterranean? Is there anything over there that could possibly threaten me and my family in Windsor Ontario? As always we partner with the warmongering meddling USA. We should keep our limited armed forces available to intercept threats on our coasts and in the arctic.
Didn't you see? They were protecting Arab countries by intercepting cannabis extract, and coloring books with kids in Vietnam. What a waste of limited funds. When we cannot even protect our own sovereignty in the Arctic.

The best thing this warship could do to preserve the freedom and prosperity of Canadians is open fire on Ottawa.
No land based missiles and only 12 harpoon anti ship missiles, i guess you could launch a harpoon on land?
Traitor.
...not a moment too soon for Canada to get a couple of destroyers.
good thing they cleaned up all the beer bottles before the shoot
Will the CBC air this? Probably not.
CBC hates the military, i remember when some idiot grilled a new army recruit when he said he was ready to kill someone when he gets deployed to Afghanistan, you could tell the kid was nervous so he said he's not answering anymore questions.
The first and foremost consideration in Canadian National Defense is politics: Where the ship is going to be built, the # of jobs created, and the # of potential votes.
The second consideration is the power of unions. Without unions and the people it employs nothing can be done.
The third consideration is the personnel of DND itself who are poorly paid, poorly trained and the turn-over of personnel is very high.
The equipment is often out of date by decades;
The military mentality lags even futher behind.
It is so sad that Canadian National Defense is being compromised by its own Natioal government first, and then by powerful unions desperate for work and who, in turn, have the ability to influence National elections.
Canada should have been conquered long ago if it were somewhere in the middle of Europe.
That’s Stinger 22
Visiting an orphanage is weird...
lucky Canada, if weren't your big brother neighborhood USA, what did you do ? ( no offence)
Flight move and fight. Unfortunately thanks to our government the navy is barely able to do either of those things
Nation in Decline.
I'm glad that woman is not my boss.
Kind of annoying

Canada has warships?
Float and Move? Sounds redundant?
Our mantra is Float, Move, Fight. Engineering encompasses 2 of the 3.
Is the Royal Canadian Navy still recruiting straight white men?
Nah man, strictly trannies now. I heard the warships are all being painted rainbows now
LOL
No and God help you if your report has he or she in it ...after 2011 our country turned into a GONG show that the world doesn't trust .
No
They've all been purged out.
Canadian warship:
A ship filled with mould and failing equipment, best suited to put sailors at the highest risk possible.
education required
As a civilian I respect military personnel but not the cause. I used to want to join the army when I was in my late teens I'm so glad I didn't. Rich people keep getting rich by sending young people over seas to fight for oil.
Gas and Diesel....your going to have a tough job when Trudeau shuts down the oil and gas industry....
Well this is fantastic, but how about more of these ships ,and a couple of aircraft carriers and a few submarines that actually work. We haven't seen a carrier since the Bonaventure. The governments past and present are taking a big gamble not keeping our forces strong protecting the longest coastal land in the world. Our navy is a disgrace aswell as the other 2 military services. Not our fault as we are always looking to our government to be seeing this. The morons running our country past and present are the problem waisting our money
Only fools join the military. We only fight for American interests and aggression
once we get the f35s rolling , we should add one on each coast
and up above they say we are building 15 type 26 frigates
thats impressive in and of itself
and canada cold prolly do one of the smaller variants of aircraft carriers
and then a nation thats 9th largest economy in world takes its place proper
We don't even have enough sailors to crew the ships we currently have
@@joemeatballs3694
increase pay a lil make that known and you will get more recruits ...i know its taxes but hey were 9th largest economy in world with like shit for brains army its ridiculous in any sense

Lots of armchair rear admirals on here who don’t have a clue!!
Canadian military, more admirals and generals per capita than most nato countries, but no equipment or ppl on the ground. What a joke.

11:00 is such a backwards way of thinking. If somebody in the military wants to dwell on how they think you're feeling you both have a problem alot bigger to deal with.
The world’s military joke….
I am ashamed to be Canadian.
Very interesting. Great men and women sailors. Question : What are we doing in the Mediterranean? Is there anything over there that could possibly threaten me and my family in Windsor Ontario? As always we partner with the warmongering meddling USA. We should keep our limited armed forces available to intercept threats on our coasts and in the arctic.
Didn't you see? They were protecting Arab countries by intercepting cannabis extract, and coloring books with kids in Vietnam. What a waste of limited funds. When we cannot even protect our own sovereignty in the Arctic.
We sail around to show we exist
What makes a warship unlike any other ship? its weapons! oh wait Cooks.....ya a bunch of pigs Coxn, all they want to do is eat
Lol yeah ok Canada 😄
