🇨🇦 Canada is finally discovering drones after half the world already did

The absurd part is not that the army is racing to catch up. It is that Ottawa spent years acting like modern warfare was a panel discussion on inclusion while Ukraine turned cheap drones into battlefield essentials. Now the Canadian Army has a shiny Minerva program and everyone wants to sound urgent, as reported. Translation: the Trudeau era left the military underfunded, bureaucratized and strategically unserious, so now we are improvising while pretending this is innovation.

This is what post-national governance looks like. Billions for consultants, DEI paperwork and global virtue theatre, but basic sovereign capacity gets treated like an optional expense until reality barges in. A serious country builds domestic industrial depth, procurement speed and armed forces that exist to defend its own territory and interests, not to chase applause at NATO cocktail hours. Canada does not need another buzzword program. It needs a government that remembers national defence is for nations first.
