The Department of National Defence has revealed that more than a dozen members of the Canadian Armed Forces linked to hateful actions or groups have been warned, disciplined or ordered to take counselling, but allowed to remain in uniform.

The revelation follows months of questions about the fate of 30 active service members identified in a military-intelligence report last year as belonging to a hate group or having otherwise made discriminatory or racist statements. Six more have since been added to the list.

A white Canadian Forces reservist who targeted black soldiers with racial abuse won’t face any disciplinary measures because the young man felt stressed out during his military training, says an army general.

The fact the 17-year-old reservist’s father is a senior officer in the army reserve doesn’t have anything to do with the decision not to formally punish the soldier, according to Brig.-Gen. Jocelyn Paul, who commands the 4th Canadian Division, which is responsible for army operations in Ontario

Except for that reservist who crashed the gates of the PM and GG residence with a truck full of guns and ammunition . . . there's no evidence.

Oh! And that Patrik Mathews guy, who is actually a neo-nazi.

No evidence.

Those are two out of how many?

After CBC News obtained the September briefing note, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) provided an updated list of more than 50 cases of alleged hateful and extremist conduct recorded between 2013-2018. The cases include accusations of white supremacist views, neo-Nazi comments and racist or anti-LGBTQ comments.

The military is a microcosm of society so it goes without saying that you're going to get these types of people and the thing is that you have to weed them out before they get in or as soon as they openly start advocating.

There have been approximately 600,000 Canadians who've served since the Korean war and the CBC brings up 2 of these assholes to show that there's a rampant problem with systemic white supremacists in the military.

But here's a thought. If you can paint all the military by the actions of a few then allow me to point out that we can paint all Canadians as a nation of murderers because some Canadians have committed murder. See how easy it is?

But if these two were so bad and such a threat why are they still serving unless of course it's because the Canadian Military is aiding and abetting Neo Nazi's.

Cases tend to be handled behind closed doors, often with the accused agreeing to leave the ranks

You read the other articles, right? It's far more than two.





It wasn't the CBC, it was the Military. CBC is just reporting it.



Your words, not mine.



Matthews is in jail.

Again, above articles:

But until the Canadian Forces can define “hateful conduct” it is hard to discipline soldiers and keep good statistics about how many are involved in white supremacist and far right activities, Brig.-Gen. Sylvain Menard, chief of staff operations for military personnel, told the CBC in a recent interview.

So not only does the military not know how many white supremacists they have serving apparently they can't discipline them.

thanks to civilian interference in our justice system.

So if you want to fix the system. Get rid of the Charter for military members and reinstate the National Defense Act which would put an end to the kid gloves approach to dealing with assholes. Otherwise they should shut the fuck up because it's the Liberal gov't which created the problem they're accusing the military of having.

So if the military doesn't know how many there are, but there are over 50 complaints on file as of 2018, that is more than two I suppose. So they know they have at least 50.



Interference? You do know it is the job of Parliament to write the laws that the Justice system follows, right? Or were you suggesting the Military should write our laws?



I agree to a point; but that ends charter protections for serving the military. You shouldn't lose your charter rights because you choose to serve.

Are you trying to put words into my mouth? Nobody said the military should make law in Canada, just for the military.

As for the 50 people "accused" of these types of acts. Remembering that's out of approximately 600,000 veterans and still serving members since the Korean war means that it's a 0.008333333333333333 percent of members who should be tossed and or charged. Not a very large number is it?
