Summary

Is Canada’s military prepared — or struggling behind the scenes? Former military officer and lawyer Philip Millar breaks down recruitment challenges, lowered standards, and concerns about readiness in the Canadian Armed Forces. The conversation also looks at Canada’s justice system, including political influence, “judge shopping,” and rising public safety issues.
