Abstract:
Canada is still learning how to conduct Ops in the Arctic – both regular and reserves. All Ops must be “Whole - of - Canada” by virtue of the Arctic Reality. The role played by Canadian Rangers is both unique and essential. The Arctic is in a state of massive transformation – need for CF in Arctic will be increasing.

Abstract:
The announcement of the retirement of General Rick Hillier as Canada's Chief of Defence Staff has sparked much comment about his impact on the Canadian Forces and public. He is credited with having restored the morale of the Forces, with securing more funding and equipment, and with positively raising the Forces' profile among the public. Bad memories from Mogadishu have been expunged. Everyone "supports our troops", as the public mantra goes, even those who dislike their engagement in Afghanistan. That engagement reflects other effects of General Hillier. He has raised the influence on policy of the Canadian Forces among mandarins in Ottawa and the country, and expanded public notions of the uses of the Canadian Forces beyond UN-associated peacekeeping (and a hushed association with NATO).
