As members of the Canadian Armed Forces, thousands of us hold strong views on the direction of our country. However, we're bound by regulations that prevent us from speaking publicly. We're forced to watch as policy decisions are made that impact our communities, our families, and our future – decisions we cannot comment on publicly. This platform provides a vital outlet, allowing us to express our opinions without risking our careers.
Western alienation is a palpable reality. It's a sentiment deeply understood by those of us who serve this country from the West. We've witnessed the concerns of Alberta and Saskatchewan being dismissed by Ottawa, as if they're inconsequential. But they matter. As Armed Forces members from these provinces, we know this better than anyone.
