Seems relevant these days: in 1942 a citizen defence force was established on our west coast to guard against the threat of a Japanese raid on #Canadian territory.
The Pacific Coast Militia Rangers served until the end of the war and led to the current day Canadian Rangers 1/

Preparations are underway for our Remembrance Day service and local flyovers.
Can’t make it out to the museum? Watch/stream live on @CHCHTV TV or stream on their YouTube channel at 10:30 am.
Lest we forget.

@pbontoast1 Absolutely no disrespect in any way meant to current veterans who struggle with PTSD (and who rightly access the care they have earned) , but that previous generation didn't have much in the way of mental health care post-war most just got on with it.

No excuse for this - Ukrainian civilians are being bombed now, they will be freezing through a cold dark winter soon, and these people don't bother to take Pistol Pete on directly, he's a servant of Russia and will always be

Jeffries proved yesterday he’s an utter clown. Fact he didn’t have members ready to vote on motion involving Hegseth’s impeachment on time is all the proof you need.
Ukrainian children die as Hegseth holds up Patriot missiles. Fuck you Jeffries. Fuck you @HouseDemocrats

@british_north @CanadianArmy Yup

I thought this was worth reposting separately if for no other reason that it offers some reason for optimism, it sounds like a reasoned take from someone in the know.

RegF pay is centrally funded, but Reserve pay comes from service operating budgets, so it's a lever the RegF doesn't have - RegF can really only reduce training (and is).

@Calibremag I'd like to be hopeful and think that just as the long gun registry was eventually ended this can and will be too, but the confiscation piece really complicates things.

[Latin American Military Aviation @LatinMilAv]

And a good angle view of the weapons set up (including selfie camera above the minigun!)

The Mount for the 70mm rocket launcher is fully visible - thst ordinance appears to have been put to good use on the drug dealer mansion.

[Latin American Military Aviation @LatinMilAv]

The "Guardiancillos" of the Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña have struck the mansion of one of Haiti's gang leaders, the gang members run like rats.

[Nayib Bukele @nayibbukele]

Nou kenbe pwomès nou…

Nou detwi kay Lanmò San Jou ak katye jeneral gang 400 Mawozo a.

Pifò ladan yo kouri ale san yo pa menm eseye goumen.

Ala lach yo lach! 🥲

@HelloMrBond @LucasADWebber That said, this military operation can act as a reset just as it did in El Salvador. I'd love to hear your thoughts @HT_DefenseObsvr

[Latin American Military Aviation @LatinMilAv]

@HelloMrBond @LucasADWebber There are no magic bullets here, it's going to be complicated but that said the Salvadoran military will overwhelm this collection of drugged up scumbags. There's no other way, but rebuilding Haiti will take much more than that. 1/

@HT_DefenseObsvr @DefensaSV @FUERZARMADASV @merino_monroy @MDefenseHT @forcesarmeesht @Mario_Andresol They run away like rats - hopefully the GSF and Haitian Police/Armed Forces can get to work on these scattered scumbags

@nayibbukele Bien hecho Sr. Presidente! Felicitaciones los soldados y aviadores de las FFAA Salvadoreñas!

[Innova News @InnovaNews7]

Le président salvadorien Nayib Bukele confirme la destruction de la résidence de Wilson Joseph, alias « Lanmò San Jou », et du quartier général de 400 Mawozo. Selon lui, la majorité des membres du gang ont fui sans résistance. « Nous avons tenu notre promesse », a-t-il déclaré. @InnovaNews7 @nayibbukele

@towhey It's a disaster, constantly giving space to anti-Canada disinformation and propaganda. The people in charge need to understand we are no longer in a 1970's information landscape

[Latin American Military Aviation @LatinMilAv]

@_Gunzo_ Not least with ambition (at least expressed) to quadruple the size of the force! Let alone the Supplementary Reserve plans.... or fever dreams or whatever the hell they are at this point

[Latin American Military Aviation @LatinMilAv]

It's a reduction in full time jobs within the Reserves, not a reduction in the size of the force itself, but it raises serious questions about operations, training and the plan to increase the Primary Reserve to 100k let alone the increased Supplementary Reserve. 1/

[David Pugliese @davidpugliese]

My latest article...Canadian army cutting reserve military jobs, cancelling some training. Defence Minister David McGuinty's office did not provide comment on the cuts.

@NoahGairn 👀

And maybe soon some clarity on what the hell is going on with the Reserves?

[Latin American Military Aviation @LatinMilAv]

@jerseygirlcrush That's insane that even internally it's this messed up. I don't think it's just the Minister, it's CAF Command pulling rank. The endless rivalry between Reg and Res
