Canadian navy cancels training course after alleged racist and sexual misconduct incidents

The Royal Canadian Navy has been forced to cancel one of its basic recruiting training courses on the West Coast after a series of alleged racist and sexual misconduct incidents, CBC News has learned.

Three sailors-in-training were kicked off of the course and one of them is being released from the military, a spokesman for the navy said late Thursday night after questions about the incident were posed by CBC News.

Four separate incidents allegedly took place between Feb. 15 and March 9 at different locations on the same training course at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt, B.C.

With all the PC BS being implemented I wonder whether it was misconduct or rebellion at woke indoctrination?

Need to protect our North

A senior Canadian general in charge of protecting North American airspace says Russia has the capability to strike this continent, bolstering the need for improved defensive systems.

Canada’s compensated confiscation of guns could start this spring

The Trudeau government may be calling it a gun “buyback,” but they’re not talking about asking Canadian citizens to turn in unwanted guns in exchange for gift cards. Instead, Liberals in charge in Canada will be demanding that the lawful owners of more than 1,500 models of firearms hand them over to the government in exchange for some cash. If they don’t, they’ll be considered criminals in illegal possession of a forbidden weapon.

Why Media Push For The Hijab To Define Canadian Politics

It would do Canadians well to contemplate an unnerving trend in society. Why is it that fringe social issues continuously take centre-stage in federal politics? For example, transgenderism. Based on media presentation, one would believe that transitioning one’s sexual identity is a commonplace experience among citizens.

Of course, it isn’t. 99% of Canadians do not indulge in the practice. Yet, by way of mainstream media, an objective observer would believe sex change surgery to be as common as rain in North Vancouver.

Posthaste: Canada is being advertised as an attractive place for Russian oligarchs to set up shell companies

“Tax dodgers, including Russian oligarchs linked to Vladimir Putin, know that Canada is actually weak on financial crime, and our financial transparency laws haven’t kept pace with changes in global finance,” DT Cochrane, an economist with Canadians for Tax Fairness, said in a release.

Fumbling the ball

Justin Trudeau famously claimed when he took office that Canada was back, but his attention to global affairs has been pitiful: five ministers in six years, the latest one inarguably the least qualified. He has been preoccupied with optics, and it’s arguable he no longer carries any standing to lead.
