Might not need to doom here. Canada's military is a joke, you all need to understand this. We do supply and support, have since WW2.
We had to borrow unis from you boys in the first Gulf War because we only have green camo. Our air force is 30 year old F-18 Hornets. Our navy is literally, 2 steps above some canoes and sling shots.
I would put life savings on this is to help support the hospitals / nursing homes with extra medical staff.
A very good military friend of mine is married to a fellow who is top brass at one of the bases in Western Canada. Obviously, I cannot disclose them / location. They have kept me in the loop though, and kept me grounded from some of the stuff I see about what's actually going on in Canada. This guy would know, FOR SURE.
They have gotten zero orders for any deployment other than supply chain / medical assist.
I would imagine that is the case. I'm pretty sure Ontario did something similar last year. I'll see if I can find that.
There's a strike for the health care workers union here in NB looming. Part of it is they've been fighting for a while ( pre covid ) with the province over more money for workers / more seats in University for training more workers. The other part is the vax mandates. They're doing their best to keep that out of the news, but I live in a small city and a GOOD 15-25% of the population here works at the 2 hospitals. Everyone knows everyone ; people talk.
That being said, it won't surprise me if NB makes the same move if this strike is a go.
