No matter how you look at this whole mess, the Canadian Armed Forces on the whole has taken another hit on its public reputation. Sad part is, I don't think its the Liberal Party of Canada that will bear the brunt of this public shaming, it will be the current serving members of the CAF. That...

The motion to shut down this committee shows the Trudeau complete lack of integrity, accountability and transparency.

One of the issues with trying to bring up disciplinary or other issues with CoC (not just sexual misconduct but many other major issues) is sometimes it results in the "third" COA against yourself. What is the "third" COA? There is disciplinary proceedings, administrative proceedings and then...

We are about to see some really dark days for the CAF. It sucks because I believe 90-95% of the serving/previous members served with honour. It seems way too many senior leadership have too many accusations being thrown at them. I am pretty sure our opinion with the general public is going to...

Still shocking to see this going on. It doesn't take much for the public to lose faith in the CAF. This is not helping

Following. I am interested to see how this plays out. Rest assured Trudeau will have no hesitation putting distance between himself and Vance if this gets more intense. To put it bluntly, Vance put himself in at the very least, a very awkward situation. Lets see what else comes out of this...

I remember a brief while ago, I was sure our PM was on about "Build back better" for our economic recovery. I was rather busy with cattle sorting around that time (moving 600-900 lbs toddlers around and separating them makes my worst day supervising PAT/PAR pers look like a cake walk). I have...

Dr Barbara Perry Is like the WORST choice they could have picked. Watch her videos, even ethnic communities can not stomach her. The common theme you will see is she no specific facts to back up her arguments just vague statements and innuendos. I could barely stand to listen to her Ted Talk video.

One of my last jobs in the CF before retiring was Drill Sergeant Major (different than the RCR DSM in role) for CIC BOTC. I worked with CWO (ret'd) Elli Aucoin (great man). In Borden. Its 8 days and your schedule is full. It really doesn't do alot of inspecting barracks or kit checks or stuff...

Yay!

:pop:  I will sell front row tickets to his court martial!
