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/

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

Fuerza Aérea Salvadorena in action over Haiti
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

#Canada has a long, inglorious history of chronic underfunding and under-equipping of the Militia (Army Reserve) and yesterday's reporting by @davidpugliese seems to point to a continuation of that shameful practice.
Invoking the blessings of Almighty God (who apparently the US military serves) the Secretary of Holy War goes on to tell service members that he "has their back" while they do "real stuff" against "enemies foreign and domestic".
Amen?...
Things gonna get real, real soon y'all..
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/
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.

Look, it's not impossible that the IRIAF may still have a couple of F-14's flying but in this clean configuration they might be able to patrol against drones, using internal cannon, certainly not much more especially with 🇺🇸🇮🇱 aircraft over Iran

An excellent explainer on a powerful, moving symbol of #Canada that we will be seeing front and centre again this week. #RemembranceDay
I'll be scanning the sky and listening for that glorious sound that literally chokes me up on Remembrance Day
Toronto's Queen's Own Rifles, a Military (Primary Reserve) unit with a glorious history, on parade today along Jarvis St, along with the affiliated 2881 (Queen's Own Rifles) Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps.

This nutbar still at the Pentagon and Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff - this is about to get even crazier and maybe even kinetic. The threat to Canada and the American people themselves has just increased significantly.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a video message vowing to fight efforts in Congress to impeach him and defending the Iran war as 'courageous and historic' after voters punished Republicans over it in this week’s midterm elections reut.rs/4z3cYk6
These kids represent the best of Canada - while other young people are up to no good, these kids give their time to something that matters: Remembrance.
Remembrance of those who gave their all for our nation.
Give them your support when you see them over the next week or so.
This is really impressive - clearly many Canadians have been moved by this story and want to help.
Let's hope we get good news about Captain Kunkel in the next few weeks and months.
The donation target was $16,000 when I first saw this yesterday morning.
