StarEditorialBoard: If commanders are wondering why recruiting efforts are falling short, they need only look in the mirror. In many ways, it's a crisis of the military’s own making. It hasn't done enough to transform its ranks and culture.
There’s trouble in the ranks of Canada’s military, as in much depleted ranks. There are too few personnel to safeguard the country for the dangerous times ahead, according to Gen. Wayne Eyre, the chief of defence staff.
“And we’ve got to do it with a sense of urgency and priority because it is affecting our ability to respond around the world,”A short-staffed military impedes its ability to deploy abroad and respond here at home, to natural disasters as personnel recently did toin the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona. That has serious implications for the security of the country and its ability to join allies to exert influence, especially given the ongoing tensions with Russia.
She cited an “archaic and deeply damaging organizational culture” that has its roots in an abuse of power, antiquated practices and “the glorification of masculinity as the only acceptable operational standard. Hardly the attributes of a welcoming workplace. Given those conclusions, it’s easy to see why many decide to give the military a pass when other career opportunities beckon.
