The Canadian Forces as known today is formed by the unification of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Navy, and Army in 1968 to [[Executive Meddling|save on]] [[Boring but Practical|non-essential costs like uniforms]]. [[wikipedia:Canadian Forces#Unification and beyond|This had elicited some resistance]] [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|from Canadian soldiers]], but over time, accepted it -- mostly. Then in August 2011, the names were changed back to the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Canadian Navy, and the Canadian Army. Reactions were just as mixed as during the unification; the return to tradition led some to rejoice, while others complained that it reinforces our connection to the British monarchy (which they see as detrimental to Canadian nationality). Either way, most people don't really care.
