The Canadian military simply is not a priority of the Trudeau government. Not only has Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fallen considerably short of meeting the NATO demand of investing two per cent of GDP in the military, but that military is also 16,500 recruits short. Every branch of the military is lacking modern equipment and personnel. However, Trudeau has spent his time making the military woke using DEI both in recruiting and promotions.

We need a military composed of the very best members possible, not simply those who can check off a Trudeau DEI box, and one that is given proper modern equipment.

STILL TAKING ON WATER

This country started to founder in 2015 with the election of the Liberals under the control of Captain (Hook) Justin Trudeau, and we have been steadily taking on water to the point that, as fast as we can bail, the government seems to want to make more holes in her.

Canadians have been pushed to the limits by this group of pirates. It is time to sink the SS Trudeau, along with the Jugboat that is keeping her afloat, throw in the old Green Mayflower and put us on a course where common sense drives the ship.

WILL CANCEL THE VACAY

While I can’t actually vote in the United States, I can vote with my feet. If Donald Trump wins in November, our 2025 U.S. holiday funds will be spent elsewhere. Hopefully others will join this boycott and these American isolationists will be isolated.

WONDERING ABOUT THE BIDENS

I can’t help but wonder: What’s with the Bidens?

According to Jill Biden, Joe isn’t just the right person for the job, he’s the only person for the job.

According to Joe Biden, there isn’t anybody more qualified to be president or win the race than he is.

After all my wondering, I’ve come to the conclusion that someone should test their food.
