Right, but does Canada have the same global police mission that the United States does? I’m not sure why it would be the default expectation that the U.S. and Canada or other NATO countries would have the same amount of recruitment advertisements.
So I guess I’m unsure about what was being clarified given the OP’s statement and then the following response.
> since becoming an all volunteer army recruitment has been an expensive challenge.
Implying the issue is a volunteer army. If that's the case, Canada would have the same problem as it's also a volunteer army.
If your argument is that it's not about being a volunteer army, it's about the scale of the military, you might be right... we'd have to compare the personnel number to recruitment budget ratio between NATO countries to get a sense of that.
