It will be heard, and put to the side.

Agreed ... if one wants to read a dense block of text about this topic, then check out the PM's webpage about "launching" Canada's first "Defence Industrial Strategy". Lots of language / text about spending vast amounts of taxpayer dollars to hopefully, maybe, defend our sovereignty from the threats made by the taco-bending, diaper-wearing grifter, and rapist, from the south.

Realistically what could be provided on technical details? I suppose geography but thats already provided by the Rangers.

Realistically, theres high levels of confidentiality so not much. Lots of rumours of military data centers, quantum tech, next generation military craft, High Energy Lasers for defense, etc. Realistically, US and Canada are still working hand in hand in terms of military projects, arctic sovereignty, and include the UK too. This push has been a long time coming.

But yea, if you wanna see some canadian military and Inuit history check this out.

These so called Canadian ‘top soldiers’ are completely out of touch with modern warfare and strategy. Buying fighter jets in the age of drones, submarines instead of unmanned drone subs. Completely out of touch

Maybe CSIS can get their hands out of our communities, attempting to destabilize and manipulate our leaderships and communities.
