Canada’s Military Crisis: Broken Recruitment Exposed
Canada’s military is facing a recruitment and housing crisis that almost no one is talking about. In this episode, we break down the Auditor General’s shocking findings, why 190,000 applicants never made it in, and how systemic failures are crippling our national defense.
Host Paul Micucci sits down with Brian Isted, former CAF member, instructor, and defense commentator, to uncover what’s really happening behind the scenes.
In this conversation you’ll learn:
• Why the Auditor General found 190,000 applications but only 15,000 recruits
• How lost files, broken systems, and unmotivated recruiters destroy candidate pipelines
• Why military housing is collapsing—1930s units, not enough beds, and major infrastructure failures
• How Canada plans to spend $81.8B on defense—and why the math still doesn't work
• Whether recruitment failures are caused by funding, motivation, or mismanagement
