Canadian Armed Forces Sees Decade-High Recruitment Numbers
EDMONTON, CANADA - JULY 18: A Canadian Armed Forces soldier demonstrates the Carl Gustaf M3 recoilless rifle, officially known as the M3 Multi-role Anti-armor Anti-tank Weapon System (MAAWS), as a visitor handles the weapon at a promotional stand during a summer festival in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on July 18, 2025. Recruitment in the Canadian Armed Forces has hit a decade high, with over 6,700 new enlistees last year, a 55 percent increase surpassing government targets, driven by recent modernization reforms.
