No. Any form of military or paramilitary organizations here in Canada are linked directly to the Canadian Forces. Citizens can join the Primary Reserves if they do not wish to join the Regular Force. Any form of paramilitary organization that is not part of the CF is strongly discouraged, and is infact violating the law. Bearing arms is not a right here in Canada. Using a fire arm for other then its allowed purpose by law is a Criminal Code offence. Hope that answers your question.

And rightly so. There's to many damn guns everywere these days.
Now if we can just get the illegal weapons out of the criminals hands, we'd all be a happy bunch.

There was/is a mob in Alberta, which did not go down so well. An organised (word used lightly) group of grown men running around in camouflage, webbing, fighting knives with rifles in Canada definatly draws attention, and a ERT visit. Doing such could be thought to be an act of subversion, and in this day in age with Terrs etc, you might end up in serious trouble.
Want to join a Militia, join the Reserves.
My two cents.

As has been seen in many other countries, there are those who declare themselves as a protective force, and give themselves the label of 'militia', but few of them are linked to or supported by the government of the land they form themselves in.

Not me. I'm going to start one up all by my lonesome. I too, am having visuals of the uniform of said militia, and of our mode of transport; it may get chilly in winter. 2 wheeled friggin' warriors ... Harley owners only need apply. Perfection.

Was there ever any doubt it was going to be?? It's radio chatter -- it's about a Canadian non-military militia --
If it wasn't me who did it -- Journeyman would have come along and looked after it. >
Yeah, true. I'm just miffed that somebody beat me to it.
I just love steering these types into JTF2/ninja/sniper/babySEAL/wannabe areas.
