How to fix Canada's military recruitment crisis: temporary foreign workers!

Sooner or later the nabobs in Ottawa will have to face reality re their issues with CAF recruitment. As the drumbeat for more war ramps up, we Canadians are inundated every day with scary stories about how we really really have to spend many billions more on US military kit or else risk the distain of our allies. Spending money is easy. Getting new recruits to sign on, not so much. I could propose some suggestions for why this might be the case. Since Fluffy’s band of wokelings swept into power in 2015, there’s been a vendetta against senior CAF leadership. One after another, top guys who have devoted to the CAF their entire careers have seen their careers destroyed because of an inappropriate ass-grab during basic training 40 years ago. To be sure, I’m not for inappropriate ass-grabs. There’s no place for that anywhere. Any hint of sexual impropriety needs to be dealt with promptly and publicly. Dealing with it decades later doesn’t have any deterrence impact other than deterring potential officer candidates from pursuing a career with an organization that is all to happy to hang them out to dry if the winds of wokery demand it. In dealing with their recruitment crisis, the wokelings have decreed that the CAF dress code will now permit gender-confused recruits to pick their uniforms from either the male or female catalogue. That sounds great from a diversity and inclusion perspective, but seriously, how many gender-confused people are going to enlist in the CAF in the first place? I haven’t done any scientific research on the matter, but I’m guessing the number is very close to zero. So, regrettably, Canada has no options other than what we do to fill the jobs in all the other fields where Canadians don’t want to do the work. Fruit-picking in Ontario orchards. Harvesting vegetables in BC’s delta farmlands. Pouring coffee at Tim Hortons drive-throughs clear across the land… the list goes on and on and on. Obviously, it’s time to add “defending Canada” to the list of things Canadians don’t want to do.
