A recent news report says Canada’s defence planners are working on how the country could rapidly expand its forces in a national emergency.

The planning includes non traditional roles and mentions older Canadians and people who might not meet full combat fitness standards.

If the country asked for volunteers under this kind of plan, would you step forward?

Why or why not?

when the country starts respecting me, and fights for my rights to PROPER LIVING wages, taxes the rich like galen westin (ya know... the corrupt individual responsible for price fixing breads and probably everything else, and is also working to destroy public healthcare by pushing maple nonsense)... then maybe I'll respect this country enough to fight for it/volunteer.

currently... hard no.
