I don't doubt that they're falling short, though the Forces has made good faith efforts in terms of things like Sexual harassment, they have a long ways to go.

However, i'm betting that overall across all of the demographics recruiting isn't going well. There's an institutional idea that you can join a military that's in rust out, that the government isn't supporting and it effects recruiting.

Also their recruiting selling job just hasn't been very good at all and its not reaching people.

Also the military is just not perceived as the cool job for adventurers anymore, and I would bet that most Canadian Youth would rather go and flip burgers then join.

One of the key debates now is allowing non citizens to join the military to bolster the numbers.
