With General Wayne Eyre having announced his retirement, it is time to target who will most likely take the helm of the Canadian Armed Forces as Chief of the Defence Staff. These are more than challenging times for Canada’s military and Trudeau’s choice of CDS will be a crucial piece of any pathway to recovery.
