Well folks, look like mockery worked.
2 days later the Liberals are backing away from this ill planned & poorly designed scheme. 🧵
Currently 4,384 ppl in Supp. Reserve.
Govt would increase to 300,000 w/ no plan. 😂
Next year I guess we should be honouring bureaucrats on Remembrance Day?
Chief of Defence Staff:
our plan didn't prioritize civil servants.
Chief of Defence Staff's plan:

🤦♀️
The actual reserves was to jump from 23, 561 to 100,000 under the plan.
And by plan I mean pixies and fairy dust.
Here's the plan:
400,000 total Canadians in Reserves & Supplementary Reserves.
Ok. How do you get that number? How much will this cost? How long will it take?

Oh, & we'll consult with Finland.
Finland? The country with mandatory male conscription?
Oh! And last but not least, planning began in June on this near-boondoggle bureaucrat army recruitment scheme.
No announcement. No mention in the campaign. No budget.
This was so poorly planned & delivered you'd think it was still Trudeau in charge.
