I’m wondering what everyone else thinks is in our future as Canadians?
Do we think Trump is going to be stupid enough to try to invade Canada or redraw border lines?
Will the trade war continue for years or will Trump wuss out like last time?
We we continue to buy US products after they’ve now screwed us a second time?
I know I’m in the camp that whatever happens, I’m planning on completely excluding the USA from my life as much as possible.
Just a note for anyone here: the CAF reserves involves an average one night and one weekend commitment per month, not including your BMQ/SQ and trade-specific training. Getting the time off for training might be tricky, but most reservists work full-time civilian jobs or are students.
As someone else pointed out, this is what the CAF is, but IME this specifically describes reservist roles to a tee, which are intended for domestic scenarios (though if for whatever reason you wanted to, you do have the option of applying for deployments).
Completely understand folks who are ideologically opposed to military service, or who (quite reasonably) are concerned about some aspects of CAF culture to date. But this may be of interest to some of you, and if so you should look into it. Have a feeling, based on Lemmy demographics, some of you might find what the Royal Canadian Engineers does interesting.
