The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has been “unwilling” and “unable” to embrace action on military sexual harassment and assault and it’s time the body cedes more control to civilian authorities, former Supreme Court Justice Louise Arbour says.

The country is so divided, we can’t agree on whether the sky is blue. We’re living in a broken country. No way this gets implemented.
As I stated turtle island is composed of direct democracy of nations in district for elected admirators to reflect off each other in service of all stwareds on the land in service of it’s nations right to trade in all districts without molesting on each turtle island nation… Can an emabssy under the Vatican registery accross the pond violate the Two row wampum regulation rules and it’s laws when conducting trade on turtle island…. The letter of the law starts with international …do not violate the jay treaty with contra band trade with an embassy permit from the UK quarantine space..
How do you know all this?
What about investigating the deaths of four cadets ?
Also the suicides should be investigated.
Are these two issues mutually exclusive?
@Sebastian not when in relation to minors being gr00med/SA’ed + it being a result of it.
Cadets fall under CAF
They where drinking and driving… investigation over, case closed
This government is absolutely impotent, whenever there is a problem they can’t throw money at.
What about the government at all levels sexual offense with a slap on the hand. Or put under the carpet..
Or leaving a rich private school in the middle of the year, and having everyone sign a non disclosure agreement
Our military has become an absolute joke because of civilian institutions.
Same goes for the RCMP.
We are a monarchy system we pay taxes to the queen
The military ain’t got nothing on Hollywood. Eeeeek
Supreme Court is the only organization that should be looking at any matters, provincial courts should be shut, I seen nothing but substance abusers their.
Certainly.
And while we’re at it. instead of RCMP courts handling local police cases (and vice-versa), they should also be tried by civilian courts.
The Government should not be in charge of policing themselves, no matter if it’s an “external” department, in any capacity.
agreed
just get drunk guys, that absolves you of all responsibility according to the courts..
this legal system is a joke, really hope someone in control here will make some better choices.
Military and Paramilitary should not be policing themselves. They have an abhorrent track record of malfeasance and corruption. I suggest jury trials be carried out where members of such organizations are judged by their civilian peers. If a crime was committed the matter should be handled as a criminal offence.
Agreed same as the police or any other service
Spoken like someone who has no idea how the military justice system works or why it’s necessary
@Imported Cheese If your referring to me. Father WW2 Uncle KIA WW2 Brother 35 yrs Myself 5 yrs and now my son 3rd year military University. I know how the military justice system works. Most times guilty till proven innocent or not. Easy to get railroaded in the military, Just today saw a news report how a veterans life was ruined because the military said he was not stationed over seas and he had pictures to prove it. Took years for him to clean his name
No one should investigate his own actions. A lot of our politicians would be in jail if we had true and independant investigations.
Truth Duty Valour is the moto of RMC they have to start with that. Every where the cadets go they should see this every where. They should be reminded every day of the moto and live by this
I should think so! The Canadian military murdered Shidane Arone, promoted serial killer Russel Williams to Colonel, the Canadian military talks ‘band of brothers’ but once in, it’s kiss up kick down.
‘former'(?) superior court justice
the lady soldiers need to get more stab happy
Woman only have to always say “Yes” and then there would never be any sexual abuse cases. Problem solved. You’re welcome.
HUGE difference between physical assault and sexual harassment. Is only sexual harassment if she does not find you attractive, otherwise it is flirting.
