There are certain things that don’t make sense to me about Canadians. For instance… the population of Kenora is about 16,500 – but our unit strength is not even 1% of Kenora’s population… let alone the combined total of Kenora and the surrounding areas of Dryden and Fort Frances that our unit serves too.

Considering how splendidly Canada beat the daylights out of Germany in both World Wars, why is it that Canadians (in Kenora) are not signing up to contribute to a greater society, to help those who can’t help themselves and to help stop the spread of evil?

I don’t understand why Canadians don’t place a higher priority on national defence. It might appear to some that saving innocent people across the globe from either human conflict or natural disaster isn’t as high a priority on many Canadians list as it ought to be.

The good news I’m hoping I’ll be able to make a difference soon as I start two days a week with our Unit’s Army Reserve Recruiter – Bombardier Lynn Danielson. If you’ve an interest in a career in the military… you should give Bombardier Danielson a call on her cell at: 807-466-3474.
