Nothing has changed in the military. It's society that has decided these acts are not tolerable.

My Uncle when he was in the military used to take high power spotlights and point them at the planes landing in CFS Gander. He thought it was hilarious to blind pilots. Nowadays, you ponit a laser pointer at a police chopper, and in 10 minutes you will be in jail.

I'm apoplectic. He needs to resign or be fired strait away and failing that the PM needs to step down.

He needed to resign when he claimed he single handedly defeated the Taliban.

Commanding officers interfered in sexual assault investigations, retired military police officer says

$1:

"We would have units that would reach out and ask for the victim's contact information, which is a huge no, no you cannot have that, but it seemed to continue happening," Zillman said.

"There's absolutely no reason that you as this person's employer need to know the information about the victim. That's none of your business."

This is a full blown scandal at this point. Sajjan MUST resign.

Sajjan MUST resign.

Years overdue! He's the definition of a joke, just like the rest of the government
he's a part of.

Trudeau says he did not personally know of 2018 Vance allegation

$1:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he did not personally know of any allegation against Gen. Jonathan Vance after one was shared with his office in 2018.

In a press conference on Tuesday, Trudeau was asked to clarify comments that have been made by his office over the past month and a half regarding who knew what when about the 2018 allegation shared with Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan by the then-military ombudsman.

When asked directly whether he personally knew of any allegation against Vance in 2018, Trudeau gave a one-word answer: “No.”

After initially receiving the allegation, Sajjan’s chief of staff then shared the allegation with a senior advisor to Trudeau, according to testimony given before the House of Commons defence committee probing military misconduct allegations.

That has raised questions over whether political staff paid to advise the prime minister failed to do their jobs by not telling him of such an allegation.

Sajjan said during testimony before the House of Commons defence committee on March 12 that Trudeau was informed that Sajjan’s office had passed concerns on to bureaucrats.

“In addition to contacting the Privy Council Office, did you or chief of staff inform the Prime Minister’s Office about these allegations?” NDP MP Randall Garrison asked at the time.

“As the prime minister has stated, he was informed that I had raised those concerns with the Privy Council Office, but he learned of those complaints through the media.”
