Canadian military facing ‘crisis’ amid probes into top leaders: experts

The Canadian military is facing down what experts call an institutional “crisis” amid twin military police probes into both the current and former chiefs of defence staff.

In what appears to be an unprecedented situation, the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS) is investigating both Chief of Defence Staff Adm. Art McDonald, who stepped aside late Wednesday night, and former chief of defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance, who is facing allegations of inappropriate behaviour with two female subordinates.

Justin should order them all to pick their preferred pronouns!

FERNANDO: A Cowardly Approach, Rejected

It has become popular among some people to claim that there is no such thing as ‘Canadian values,’ or that the only thing we have in common as Canadians is having nothing in common.

It’s an idea that has been pushed by Justin Trudeau, with his claim of wanting to make Canada the world’s first ‘post-national state.’

The idea of a country having values is seen by some as a relic of the past, as something to be rejected, mocked, and dismissed.

Bill Bewick: Robbing the West to pay for the rest — exposing the unfairness of equalization

Bill Bewick: Robbing the West to pay for the rest — exposing the unfairness of equalization

The provinces are more equal than ever before, but the equalization disparity keeps increasing in Alberta, B.C. and Ontario

Equalization is a controversial topic whenever it bubbles to the surface, and with the Alberta government promising a referendum in October on launching a constitutional challenge to equalization, the topic is already simmering.

Fairness Alberta was created in 2019 (before the Fair Deal Panel was struck), in part to ensure informed attention was given to this flawed program, but also to make Canadians aware that the wealth that’s transferred out of more productive provinces like Alberta and Ontario goes far beyond the equalization program.

John Robson: Justin Trudeau and his cabinet show cowardice by hiding from genocide vote

John Robson: Justin Trudeau and his cabinet show cowardice by hiding from genocide vote

Former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt supposedly roasted President John F. Kennedy’s inaction on civil rights by wishing the author of the 1956 Pulitzer-prize-winning Profiles in Courage would show less profile and more courage. A crack that surely also applies to our prime minister, a fearless social justice warrior when there’s nothing to fear but a bit of a coward when the going gets tough. For instance on this Uyghur genocide business.

Rex Murphy: The Liberals tried, but they can’t have it both ways on the Uyghur genocide question

The big headline in the U.K.’s Guardian Tuesday morning was “Canada votes to recognize China’s treatment of Uyghur population as genocide.” The headline was only slightly expanded in the first sentence of the article, which read in part, “Canada has become the second country in the world to describe China’s treatment of its Uyghur minority as a genocide …”
