CANADIAN MILITARY POLICE
Prior to the First World War, there was no unit in Canada that resembled a modern military police element.
North West Mounted Police
In 1885, the NWMP (North West Mounted Police), forerunners of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, fought in the North-West Rebellion at Duck Lake, Fort Pitt and Cut Knife Hill in pursuit of Big Bear. During the Second Anglo-Boer War from 1899-1902, 290 all ranks served in two mounted rifle units, namely the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles and Lord Strathcona's Horse.
After being conferred the prefix "Royal" by King Edward VII (1904) the RNWMP provided a cavalry squadron in World War I, and after WWI, a RNWMP squadron served with the Canadian Siberian Expeditionary Force from 1918 until 1919.
Canadian Military Police Corps
During the first years of the WWI, Regimental Police were the only police element in the Canadian Army. The situation was such that the 2nd Candian Division made their brigades responsible for the provision of "Trench Police" to perform traffic control duties. The Canadian Military Police Corps was formed during October, 1917 with a total of 850 all ranks.
The CMPC school was formed at Ottawa, 1 June 1918, and closed ten months later on 11 March, 1919.

    CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF VETERANS IN UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPING LGen RR CRABBE CHAPTER
    3584 PORTAGE AVENUE
    WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA NEWS OF THE DAY
    Your browser is not Java capable or Java has been disabled. W e are pleased to announce that Manitoba has now formed two Chapters of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping (CAVUNP). Originally the only Chapter was in Winnipeg. A group of ex-Peacekeepers formed the first executive on the 6th of December, 2000 and were supported by 22 others in the first six months of operating as a Chapter. As the membership grew the Manitoba Chapter, as it was originally know, split to form a second Chapter in Brandon. At this time it was also decided that the name Manitoba Chapter would have to be changed to differentiate between the two Chapters. Each Chapter then decided on its own unique name at their respective Executive Meetings. The one based in Winnipeg approached LGen (ret) RR Crabbe to use his name for the Chapter. He graciously accepted and the Manitoba Chapter, based in Winnipeg, will be known as the "LGen RR Crabbe Chapter" (LGen (ret) RR Crabbe,CMM, MSC, CD, B Sc shown here), and the newer Chapter based in Brandon will be known as the "Sapper Holopina Chapter ". The LGen RR Crabbe Chapter will hold its meetings on the 1st Wednesday of each month at the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Unit #283, 3584 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba. We thank the Executive of ANAVETS #283 for allowing us to use their facility as our home base.

    ARMING A GENOCIDAL FORCE: Canadian military exports armed Indonesia's brutal militias
    By Asad Ismi
    While the Indonesian Army and its militias were setting fire to Dili and killing thousands of East Timorese in September 1999, the Canadian government was refusing to stop the export of military goods to Indonesia. And this at a time when even the United States, Jakarta's main backer, had suspended military sales to Indonesia, as had the European Union and Australia. According to documents obtained from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) through the Access to Information Act, six military export permits for the Indonesian Air Force and Ministry of Defence, worth a total of $119.3 million, were granted by the Canadian government during 1998-1999 to unidentified companies. The permits were for aircraft engines, navigation systems and training simulators (or parts for them). As the Indonesian military's militias laid waste to East Timor, Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy refused to revoke these permits. In one case the equipment was ready for immediate shipment. For Kerry Pither of the East Timor Alert Network (ETAN), Ottawa's policy signified "34 years of Canadian grovelling to the Indonesian military regime." The Canadian government has authorized military exports to Indonesia on a massive scale. The value of export permits DFAIT has issued from 1991 to 1999 totals $545.8 million. The government's claim that these exports are "non-offensive" ("with no reasonable risk of being used against the civilian population") is unconvincing. Any military export can be used offensively, especially by a genocidal army that killed one million Indonesian civilians in 1965, 200,000 East Timorese (one-third of the population) after its 1975 invasion of East Timor, and thousands more in 1999. In fact, these export permits violate Canada's own Import/Export Act which bans the sale of Canadian military goods to "countries engaged in hostilities" and/or to "countries whose governments have a persistent record of serious violations of human rights."

    The State of the Canadian Military: How Strong, How Proud?
    by Scott Fogden April 1st, 2003 These relatively minor incidents provide ammunition for a growing number of critics who feel that the Canadian Forces recruitment slogan, “Strong, proud” has become a farce. Moreover, there is a growing debate over the state of the military and its role. Many feel that a bulky, conventional military is out-of-date, unnecessary, and a waste of public funds. Others counter that Canada is losing its place on the international stage because it does not have the force to back its assertions. This feature will look at the major factors in this debate and analyze the current state, key challenges, and priorities of the Canadian military.

    The Future of the Canadian Military New challenges faced by the Canadian Forces
    The Canadian military’s international role has gone through several evolutions: from a robust World War I and II fighting force, to a respected, primarily peacekeeping force. But the Canadian Forces' mandate has become unclear, especially in the evolving, contemporary international environment. The Cold War provided a simpler geopolitical context in which to operate, with two clear superpowers. But, while today’s so-called ‘war on terrorism’ has placed new demands on the military, its focus and goals remain muddy. Military funding has been a contentious issue as public priorities have moved away from the maintenance of a conventional standing army. However, there has been some shift in public opinion since the September 11th attacks reaffirmed security as a primary, public concern.

    CANADIAN MILITARY CONTRACTORS Ploughshares Monitor, December 2000 Top Canadian contractors pursue global arms markets By Ken Epps For the third year in succession, General Motors of Canada s Diesel Division in London, Ontario emerged as Canada s largest military contractor in 1999, based on military sales data compiled by Project Ploughshares. The industrial giant gained top spot through shipments of light armoured vehicles (LAVs) to the Canadian and Australian armies and to the Saudi Arabian National Guard. It reinforced its position in 1999 by purchasing MOWAG in Switzerland, the company which designed the A Piranha LAV built under licence by GM Canada, and which also manufactures the vehicle for the military market. GM Canada s military sales totaled an estimated $763-million in 1999, almost twice those of the second-ranked CAE Inc. In the face of worldwide restructuring and consolidation of the arms industry, GM Canada is positioning itself to gain a significant part of the very competitive, multi-billion-dollar light armoured vehicle market. The acquisition of its former competitor MOWAG is part of the strategy. Similarly, CAE Inc of Toronto and Montreal recently underwent a corporate make-over intended, among other things, to enhance its self-described role as the global A premier designer and manufacturer of military flight and land-based simulation and training systems.
