NATO Association of Canada’s @RCJBaines joined Kosovo’s Women Peace & Security Forum hosted by @Presidenca_RKS to discuss the importance of narrative in fighting conflict-related sexual violence. UNSCR 1325 & the WPS agenda are the very values #NATO defends. #WPSRKS2024
CBC: “Minister Blair estimated the military is short up to 16,500 mbrs & said the failure to boost recruitment is leading it into a ‘death spiral.’ But the Gen Eyre, told CBC…that the problem is actually bigger than the #s cited by the minister suggest.” cbc.ca/news/politics/…
Before I rearranged @MikeLakeMP's dental work and nearly cracked his skull playing soccer, I wrote about him and his efforts to improve life for Jaden. That was more than 20 years ago. He has been a tireless, consistent voice of reason on this file. Congrats Mike.

Bill Morneau, Trudeau’s finance minister from 2015-2020, slammed the capital gains tax raise today. “This was very clearly something that while I was there, we resisted. We resisted it for a very specific reason: concerned about the growth of the country.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

An early morning flight to Bergen, Norway was a perfect chance to listen to Blue Skies by @erinotoole with @aliciakearns. Both Erin and Alicia strong supporters of @CANZUK - it was fascinating to hear their take on the war in Ukraine, and the AUKUS alliance - a must listen.

Just a random tidbit. Homer is named for Matt Groening's dad, Homer Groening, who was born in Main Centre, Saskatchewan, a hamlet 190 km west of Regina, with a current population of 5 people.
37 years ago today, America first met #TheSimpsons! #OnThisDay #OTD April 19, 1987, the short "Good Night" (aka "Good Night Simpsons") first aired on The Tracey Ullman Show on Fox. Wr: Matt Groening. Animation: Wes Archer, @tubatron & Bill Kopp.
I’m all in favour of the Govt of Canada trying to reach the 2% target. But I have been saying for some time that recruitment is the even bigger challenge. Question: if we don’t have the people to operate all that new materiel, what’s the point of buying it? Fix recruitment.
The recapitalization of the CAF will require that the forces grow by 14k people, on top of the 16k people it's short. Maintenance and upgrade costs for the new capabilities will also be higher. We're building a force that'll probably need more than 2% of GDP to sustain.
CBC: “Minister Blair estimated the military is short up to 16,500 mbrs & said the failure to boost recruitment is leading it into a ‘death spiral.’ But the Gen Eyre, told CBC…that the problem is actually bigger than the #s cited by the minister suggest.” cbc.ca/news/politics/…
