Canadian Army fast-tracking purchase of air defence, anti-tank missiles and counter-drone gear

I participated in two of Canada's Maple Resolve exercises in 2018 and 2019. American Marine Corps Reserve, Army National Guard and Army Reserve Personnel help support or even play OPFOR or BlueFor in this exercise held at Canadian Forces Base Wainright.

The resolve exercise was to validate the training of soldiers going to relieve other soldiers in place in Latvia. Canada has been sending troops there for years period it's a token force but it's a trip wire to defend NATO.

Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania were countries taken by Russia as part of the Pact with Hitler that began the second world war. After the fall of communism, those three countries became part of NATO and Russia is really pissed about it!

Whe n in a bad peace, prepare for war. Don't worry about climate change because a limited nuclear war will cause the environmental left to go crazy when we have 20 years of cooler weather, famine, crop failures and a ruined world. It's funny how President Biden or Al Gore brag about having $360 billion for climate change and mitigation that was hidden in the fake and fraudulent inflation reduction Act.

Canada is preparing for war but it put too much money toward climate change mitigation and its military is gutted. They scrapped their last true 3 years ago. I will include this in the comments. Canada can only spare four leopard tanks to Ukraine. They used up most of their War stock of Gustav recoilless rifles to Ukraine.

The US Navy is about to put two dozen of its older ships and the reserve Fleet including five Cruisers. Just think how much we could have done to keep these ships in the active duty Fleet if we didn't waste $360 billion dollars in the fake inflation reduction Act and being used toward climate change mitigation AKA bribing other countries switch over to unreliable energy.
