When I retired there were barely a bit over 50000, we had no aircraft carrier our tanks were getting old and we'd been told to do more with less for so long we were qualified to do everything with nothing. The Canadian Forces, that illustrious armed force that came out on top from Battoche to Passchendaele to Juno Beach, Kap Yong, Kosovo and Afghanistan was no match for the Liberal Party of Canada. We could beat Adolf Hitler but he was peanuts next to Pierre Trudeau. We held our ground against wave after wave of regular Chinese troops but we were powerless to stop Jean Chretien. And worse, the Canadian people of the day gave us no mind whatsoever as they too bent to the forces of Liberal social engineering and political correctness. If there is a morale problem in the CF it is because they have been under the boot for so long that even with the best intentions of the present government, the Liberal public servants who feel they are entitled to their entitlements will be sure to stop any efforts to turn back from the abyss. It could take generations to return the Canadian Forces to the effective, well supplied, morally upright force it once was.
