#Canada’s Military Recruitment Boom – #Poverty or Patriotism? The Canadian government is trying to sell the public a fairy tale about #patriotism, #NATO, and defending #democracy, but the #recruitment surge inside the #military has far more to do with economic decay than national pride. Whenever governments cannot provide economic opportunity, they suddenly rediscover the virtues of military service. This has happened throughout history because when civilian economies begin breaking down, the military becomes one of the last remaining employers offering stability, #housing, benefits, and a #paycheck that arrives on time. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/canada/canadas-military-recruitment-boom-poverty-or-patriotism/ #Russia #China #Trump #unemployment #Toronto #Vancouver #taxes
