Canada’s top soldier apologized through tears to members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) who faced racial discrimination and harassment, stating the institution “failed” them.
This shows the state of our department of Defense. A woman leading a fucking army, crying over the past instead of pushing forward and actually changing things. No warrior culture left in this country.
The US military Pete Hegseth said good by DEI and enlistment jumped immediately. The Canadian military has a crying "soldier" asking the DEI crowd for forgiveness because they didn't get their participation ribbon. The Canadian military is short 18,000 members and no one not even foreigners will enlist.
Sorry to pee on your cornflakes General but the CF is not swarming with systemic racism. Are there racists? Most likely. But the system is not bogged down with racists. I have witnessed individual moments of racism but in my 26 years of service, I only witnessed two acts of racist behaviour. One was against a member of Jewish faith and one a black member. Oh yes - you tearing up is not becoming of an officer.
“An apology, while necessary, is only the beginning,” said retired sergeant and former chief of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation, Wendy Jocko.
Right, Wendy. Why do I feel I know what you want next?
There is no doubt in my mind that when the time comes for Canada to defend itself it will be the everyday citizens that step up, not this woke abomination of a so called military.
Served for 29 years. Not at all proud of the CAF of today, that pains me to say so. The fighting culture of our once proud military is long gone I'm afraid. DEI destroys everything, there are only victims and oppressors now, we are all designated one or the other. My current job is the same, it is a cancer that has infested every institution. breeding and instilling weakness in it's wake. Our military, just like during my times of service, only reflects our present society, its sentiments, its values, etc. Some, and I expect most, will say that I represent everything that is wrong in our society; because of such things as the color of my skin, my belief in as I was born is what I am, what God intended, and what I will always be. The current CDS does not reflect the fighting force that we once were, they, and I say they for a reason, express the results of DEI, the weakness of this once country of unity but now division. Long gone are the days of meritocracy, the strength derived from the best and most capable rising to the top for the benefit of all. Replaced by this. Judge me if you wish and if you are outraged by my comments, I know that I speak truth and I also know that is what will anger you. Just know, I've stood beside many fallen and saluted them prior to their return to their Canada of times past, and I do not believe that they fought and died for what we've become in this present day. It matters not who you are, the color of your skin or where you are from; if you work hard to develop and achieve your true potential you ought to be rewarded and take your rightful place in society, chosen field of work and or profession. Victims will always be victims as long as they view and represent themselves as such. DEI promotes victims, not strong men and women. And yes I am a white male, and if that was what you focused on as you read this comment then you oppress yourself. I am not a victim and I am not an oppressor, I am what once was a Canadian. Arte et Marte
I left the military after 21 years in 2008, 7 tours overseas which included 5 tours to former Yugoslavia, Kosovo and Afghanistan. Not once did I ever notice, witness and experienced racism in my entire service. If anything we embraced soldiers of different races because we were a team and we had the backs of each other. For this person to be saying this then the wheels must have fallen off since I retired. There might be another reasons for this speech, is that this is a political move to paint people of being racist and fit the liberal party’s narrative that they have been shoving down our throats for a decade plus to push the white supremacy narrative. If I was to choose, it would be the later comment. When you become a high rank officer who is saying this is about our military; when you get at this rank you have become a politician and is no longer a soldier, my bet is that this person is just echoing what they are being told to say. A lot of these generals forget where they come from and they are just in it for themselves and they are willing to throw anything/ anyone under the bus just to get ahead…

Pathetic. Crying? Unless you're like Eisenhower touring a death camp. Crying? What a pansy culture.

Time for a top General, actually most if not all of them.
You know.. The tampons in the Men's washroom crowd although I have another suggesting for the use of those tampons for them.
To join the ranks of disgraced retired, woke jokes.
Woke Jokes being something, perhaps the only thing that Canada seems to excel at these days.

If we have the means to do it. But you are correct and the snowflakes will be crying racism. LOL and HELP!
Looks like she took lessons from Canada's #1 Clown - Trudeau.
No wonder enrollment in Canada's military has tanked, with " leadership " like this.
"An apology, while necessary, is only the beginning,” said retired sergeant and former chief..."
Oh, he's gonna get paid, again. Solution is all white male army then this won't happen again.

We need more generals with a capacity to cry on stage so we can avoid conflict
