David Redman, a 27-year military veteran, penned a 33-page essay on the dire straights of Canada's Armed Forces (CAF). He explains our military has been "intentionally destroyed" by the Trudeau government.

"Our alliances laugh at us, don't invite us to meetings, intentionally ignore our input," he said. "Our foreign affairs people have great difficulty getting any credibility in the world because they [our allies] look at us and they know we're not a serious country."

Only 58% of the Armed Forces could mobilize should their NATO allies declare war, according to a secret Department of National Defence (DND) presentation obtained by CBC News.

The Royal Canadian Air Force is currently in the worst shape of all the military forces, with 55% of its equipment considered "unserviceable," followed by the Navy (54%) and Army (46%).

Redman stresses that combat capability is the "core essence" of any credible military force, adding that CAF is "exactly the opposite now."

The Department of National Defence (DND) said procuring new military equipment for its troops is in the works. They did not provide a timeline, according to media reports last month.

"We don't take our national security and national defense seriously at all," the military veteran said. "In fact, we have intentionally destroyed them."

Only a quarter (27%) of Canadians believe the Armed Forces are sufficiently equipped for combat, according to in-house polling.

"If you have in Canada, a force that can be deployed and ... can cover each of our partnership agreements, it can defend the sovereignty of Canada," Redman said.

PETITION: Trudeau Must Resign!

33,642 signatures

Goal: 40,000 signatures

Many Canadians agree that Justin Trudeau is the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history. Rebel News repeatedly reports on his government's corruption and failed leadership. The Emperor has no clothes (or moral compass) and Canadians can no longer afford his Liberal/NDP coalition that callously disregards and squanders taxpayer dollars. Please sign our petition if you believe that Justin Trudeau must resign now!

DONATE: Help Rebel News hold the powerful accountable!

Justin Trudeau, widely regarded by many as one of the worst prime ministers in Canada’s history, has now announced his resignation — but merely swapping in a new Liberal leader will not erase the harm his policies have done. Canadians deserve the chance to hold his government accountable through an immediate election, rather than letting the same party quietly choose his successor. By standing with Rebel News, you’ll help us continue our tireless investigative efforts to shed light on government mismanagement, hold powerful voices to account, and give Canadians a clear, unfiltered perspective as we push for — and prepare to cover — an imminent federal election.
