Majoring in the Minors<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The horribly woke, dreadfully led Canadian Armed Forces is at it again.A CBC News<\/strong> (March 7, 2024) highlighted the deplorable state of Canada’s Armed Forces. ” Only 58 per cent of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) would be able to respond if called upon in\u00a0a crisis by NATO allies right now\u00a0\u2014 and almost half of the military’s equipment is considered “unavailable and unserviceable” \u2014 says a recent internal Department of National Defence (DND) presentation obtained by CBC News.<\/strong>….The presentation says the air force is currently in the worst shape of all the CAF forces,\u00a0with 55 per cent of “fighters, maritime aviation, search and rescue,\u00a0tactical aviation, trainers and transport” considered “unserviceable.”\u00a0The navy is not too far behind, with 54 per cent of its “frigates, submarines, Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships and defence vessels” in no state to deploy, the presentation warns.”
So, who allowed so much equipment to rust or deteriorate? Shouldn’t there be a major investigation of this neglect and scandal. Shouldn’t careers be on the line?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


But, no, there’s a witch hunt for members of the Canadian armed forces who are part of a chat group featuring politically incorrect ideas: The Canadian Press (July 4, 2025) reports: “Military police<\/a> have reopened an investigation into a Facebook group the Canadian Army\u2019s<\/a> commanding officer describes as \u201cabhorrent.\u201d\"\"\u00a0Lt.-Gen. Michael Wright said in a media statement Friday that he was made aware of allegations about a Facebook group called the \u201cBlue Hackle Mafia\u201d on June 25 and that they involved \u201cmembers of the Canadian\u00a0Army.\u00a0Wright said the group\u2019s posts featured \u201cracist, misogynistic, homophobic and antisemitic comments and images.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 …I am disgusted by the content of some of the posts published on this group. Posting such content runs counter to our values and ethics. I have reinforced with the chain of command the importance of our military disciplinary and administrative processes in addressing reported misconducts.\u201d
Let’s wrap our heads around this: Freedom of expression on one’s own time in a private Facebook group runs counter to Lt.-Gen. Wright’s “values and ethics” but letting the equipment in Canada’s military rust into uselessness doesn’t? Who’d want to serve in a woke military that treats its soldiers so poorly? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
