Two and a half weeks in Australia made me reflect a lot about Canadian defence culture and how we tend to shame ourselves into action. My jet lag-fueled writing in my latest Stackie: open.substack.com/pub/dndcaf10...

A fun afternoon at @deakinuniversity.bsky.social’s Centre for Future Defence and National Security testing Rob Engen’s wargame on the invasion of the Dardanelles - definitely a fun intro to wargaming, and the start of a new obsession

But what does it say when two of the most amazing military operations in modern memory are still unable to fully eliminate Iran's nuclear program? I think that's proof that this is tactical brilliance may be in service of a foolhardy strategy. 14/17

New Prime Minister, new Minister of National Defence, same personnel crisis.

We need to see the same enthusiasm for personnel as the one we see for procurement and capability modernization. The hands is in the Cabinet’s, and it goes beyond throwing money at the problem.

With #Elxn2025 around the corner, and all the platforms now published, I thought it'd be fun (i.e., I had to do this for work) to have a read through the defence plans.
