A House of Commons investigation into sexual misconduct in the Canadian Forces is being cut short before it can get to the bottom of serious allegations against top military officers.
The move to wrap up the defence committee probe by Friday shuts down efforts to hear from top Liberal staffers on what they might have told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about sexual misconduct allegations against Gen. Jon Vance, the former chief of the defence staff. The motion, put forward by a Liberal MP on Monday, passed with support from Liberals and the Bloc Quebecois on the committee.
Between the base commander that turned out to be a serial killer and now this wave of generals being outed as a bunch of ass-grabber/date-raper bros, being at command level in the Canadian military looks like a hell of a lot of frat-boy fun.
Canada’s former top soldier boasted that he was untouchable and that he “owned” the military police who are investigating allegations of sexual misconduct made against him, a House of Commons committee heard Thursday night.
Maj. Kellie Brennan testified at the Commons Status of Women committee that Gen. Jon Vance, the former chief of the defence staff, told her to lie when she was being interviewed by military police looking into her allegations against the general.
