And it's been nothing but downhill for the RCAF ever since....

Just an add on Mike.

End of WWII - ~1 million in uniform - population approx 12 million
1958 - RCAF around 51,000 - total three services around 110,000 -
population ~20 million.
1966 - Amalgamation of the three services into the CAF!

Today - Canadian Forces - between 50-58,000 estimated
- population around 33 million.

Good thing we are under the US umbrella! It's time we held up our end!

Or started paying US taxes under protectorate status.

Canadians have "free healthcare" @ $1500 a month instead.
