[Canadian] Defence Minister released from military so he doesn’t have to take orders from generals

Canada's new minister of National Defence has now been released from the Canadian Forces.

Last week the Ottawa Citizen reported that Vancouver South MP Harjit Sajjan, a lieutenant colonel in the army reserves, was trying to get his release from the Canadian Forces. He was named the country's new defence minister on Nov. 4 by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Sajjan's status as a serving member of the military put him in a unique situation in that theoretically he would be required to take orders from generals who are supposed to be answering to him.

"The Minister of National Defence's release from the Canadian Armed Forces is currently being processed in order to ensure that he receives the appropriate benefits based his long and honorable service in the CAF," Department of National Defence spokesman Daniel Le Bouthillier said last week.

Trudeau has picked a strange lot ,just watch how fast Canada gets screwed up

What a horrible thought! It is my understanding that Canada still hasn’t recovered completely from the mess his father made.

I don't know anything about this guy, beyond his Wikipedia entry, but we can pretty much assume that NONE of that jerk PM's appointees will be sensible. Still, it stands to reason that if he is to be Defense Minister, he can't also be serving in the military as an underling.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau ( Father of Justin)was a jack booted leftist thug. He divided the nation instead of uniting it, he invoked the War Measures Act, unilaterally suspending the civil liberties of 17 million Canadians because Pierre LaPorte was kidnapped and murdered by a small group of separatist radicals , about 16 of them, who should have been handled by provincial and federal law enforcement. This show of federal force included the emergency dispersal of thousands of armed Canadian Army troops throughout Quebec from Petawawa Ontario, Base Gagetown, New Brunswick and Valcartier , Quebec.It was a shameful tour de force, designed specifically to ensure Pierre Elliot Truderau’s re-election a few months later. He showed Canada what it was like to let no crisis go to waste in the socialist self serving way, certainly not serving Canada, serving only himself.

Trudeau was a betrayer of Canadian liberty, a privileged Pompadour, whose supposedly brilliant intellect did little
to ensure the continuity of THE CANADA for which millions of Canada’s soldiers sacrificed during World War I and World War II.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau introduced a burgeoning Gun Control, conducted regional economic warfare in Quebec and the Atlantic provinces by using falsely derived arbitrary “fish quotas.” I watched thousands of Newfoundlanders lose their homes, fishing boats , and vehicles to the banks that financed them, many going bankrupt under the demographic warfare fist of Trudeau and so called Minister of Fisheries Romeo LeBlanc, another thug.

No, the TRudeau name does not mean Camelot North to me. I rue the day the name ever enterd into Canada’s national consciousness.

And here we are , horror of horrors, with our very own Canadian version of Barrack Obama. Justin Trudeau, another psychopomp lightweight, fit to campaign and image the Canadian body politic unto death,plague the Canadian people with a devolution of personal freedom while endorsing the birth of sharia law in Canada,, until he is de-elected or worse.

The “Curse of the Trudeaux” can take a long walk off a short pier. Whenever they leave for good, it will not be too soon.

Harjit Sajjan seems to be well qualified for his job but his appointment speaks volumes of what Trudeau defines as national security......that the involvement of Canada will be peace keeping in the ME.

In fact Sajjan has NO experience in the geographical venue where Canada’s greatest security threat lies in the north, from Russia.

Sajjan has virtually no artic command deployment experience
in order to counter the Russian threat of 2 brigades of fully arctic environment trained Russian troops poised just an hours flight from Canadian Sovereign Territory.

Putin is one step away from inserting a rather huge rocket suppository up Trudeau’s liberal ar$e. Things are about to get more than interesting.
