Globe and Mail Article

There's an article in today's Globe and Mail about how Reservists are being shortchanged and how that is destroying the fabric of our organization.

As you know, I met with some key personnel in the CF last week, and frankly, I don't have high hopes for the situation getting better. The people in that room last week are the best barometer for the state of thinking about the Reserves from within the CF, and that thinking is at best detached from reality, and at worst indifferent. Some of the things that I heard were so self-serving that I was personally disappointed that they were our leaders. Not to say they were all detached, of the four people in the room, two acknowledged a problem with how we retain people in the organization, unfortunately, neither of them will carry the torch further.

Expect things to get worse before they get better.
