The Canadian Armed Forces—its reputation severely harmed by sexual misconduct charges and racism allegations, even in its highest ranks—is now on a recruitment blitz to replenish its dwindling troops.
The situation is so dire, in fact, that the force’s commander, Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre, is publicly calling on the country to rally behind its military as it faces an unprecedented personnel crisis that he says is threatening its ability to protect and defend Canada.
The extraordinary appeal comes as Eyre and his senior staff struggle to fill around 10,000 empty positions at a time when Canada’s military is facing a growing number of threats and requests for help at home and abroad.
