Help bring David home
In 2017 I wrote about the disappearance of David (Dave) MacDermott, whose half-sister I met while in my undergrad.
The family just wants to lay him to rest. Somebody knows something.
Please help them find peace after all these years 🙏🏼

Wait a second - what happened to building that 400k reserve force?
Canadian army cutting reserve military jobs, cancelling some training- Defence Minister David McGuinty still not commenting....

I have received emails back faster from the Kremlin than the DND.
It’s not just a Wainright issue

Militantes de Núcleo Nacional viajaron en agosto a Ucrania, donde mantuvieron contacto con la Brigada de Fuerzas Especiales Azov y recibieron formación paramilitar con chalecos antibalas y fusiles AK-47. El grupo neonazi planeaba “un alzamiento armado” elpais.com/espana/2026-11-10…

Hard to build a 400k reserve force when payment for those already signed up is chronically delayed, the navigation of the benefits system is haphazard and there’s still a weird current of reg force vs reserves in some places.
Culture change is slow but not impossible!
My latest article.... Canadian Forces has yet to present mobilization plans to Liberal government. Initiative, outlined in a May 2025 document, calls for creation of a 400,000-strong reserve force.

The DND/CAFCYBERCOM have yet to answer questions I submitted more than 20 days ago on their work in Latvia - with two extensions given on the deadline - as they said Wainwright had backed them up.
They have not been able to give me an eta on replies either.

‘Duty to Warn’ is at play here - with a reminder that the U.S. also issued an alert prior to the March 2024 Crocus City Hall mass killing that resulted in more 100 deaths.

CSIS’ expanded powers laid out in the Lawful Access Bill are already concerning, and here:
“And modernise Canada’s intelligence enterprise by updating authorities to reflect evolving threats and technologies while safeguarding Canadians’ rights.”
Interesting.
We just launched Canada’s first national security strategy in over 20 years.
Canada is acting with determination and ambition to protect our sovereignty, strengthen our resilience, and build our prosperity.

Another Q I have re: Wainwright.
Those affected have a long road of recovery ahead…my understanding is that reserve members have different access to health benefits and to claims than regular force depending on class contract and service type

We’ve got to start talking about space warfare
First, the U.S. has gone public that yes, they have weapons in space and yes, they have deployed them.
Second, Russia launched six satellites April and one of them is targeting a U.S.-registered commercial satellite linked to Ukraine.
