Info on how the Canadian military might be used according to Minister Sajjan. Up to 24,000 troops could be deployed under the plan with three potential types of operations: prevent the spread of COVID-19; help cities; help vulnerable communities #cdnpoli #COVID19 #Coronavirus
Ranger patrols are being increased to track needs of Northern communities #cdnpoli #COVID19 #Coronavirus #CAF
Support of Reserve units and Canadian Rangers across the country will be necessary to execute these potential operations (with the up to 24,000 troops they're talking about they absolutely would HAVE to have that support given personnel levels) #cdnpoli #COVID19 #Coronavirus #CAF
Note for comparison: the largest peacetime deployment in Canadian history was 15,000 troops in the Quebec ice storm. So this is 9,000 troops more than that at 24,000 troops #cdnpoli #COVID19 #Coronavirus
