I doubt they want to see him. Maybe he can dress up in camouflage and paint his face.

So brave

I doubt they want to see him.

Are they ever lucky more false promises and rhetoric for our dedicated CAF!! And no funding!!

Just what they need...

While he’s there, maybe he could go for a ride in one of our antique fighter jets.

... and the world is being told before the visit ... hmmm insignificant security concerns? Doubt it! Something wrong with this. CdnMedia CdnPoli

They don’t want him to be a “pretend” commander in chief.

Let’s hope for some friendly fire

I am sure one or two of them will be happy to see him
