OTTAWA — The Canadian Forces has distributed 120,000 wallet-size cards to military personnel to remind them that sexual assault is an “inappropriate” behaviour.
The cards are to be carried by military staff on the job, including when they are sent overseas.
But a critic of how the Canadian Forces has been handling its response to what has been labelled a sexual misconduct crisis says such reminder cards are absurd.
“It is disgusting to label sexual assault as simply something that is inappropriate — it is a criminal act and if you don’t understand that then you have real problems,” said Ottawa lawyer Michel Drapeau, who represents a number of the military personnel who were sexually assaulted or harassed. “These cards do nothing except to show how the Canadian Forces’ leadership still are not taking this crisis seriously.”
The distribution of the cards, which has taken months, finished in April, said military spokesman Capt. Jean-François Lambert.
The cards, part of the military’s Op Honour initiative, list “inappropriate behaviours.”

I wonder if they issued one to Our One, particularly given his recent actions in the House of Commons?
Man, this is such a wonderful idea....they should put this on all Canadian driver’s licenses....the back of milk containers....and maybe even on beer labels.
You forgot the Timmy’s cups, lol.
When all the other “cool” UN troops are sexually assaulting you wouldn’t want to be the odd man out would you?
No joke. There is a sizeable element of international officialdom that seems to believe that there is evil in the world simply because there aren’t enough signs posted.
Same mentality that sends Jihadi immigrants to classes to politely ask them not to rape the women in their new country of residence.
Canadian men have been issued assault “guns”? Maybe they can be confiscated.
I am so glad I’m not in anymore. What a colossal joke.
What is sexual “interference”?
Wonderful idea. I hope Obama sees this. He can steal the idea and issue wallet cards to all Muslims in the country listing to remind them that killing people is an inappropriate behavior.
Now that is some "Guilty till proven innocent" stuff right there.
Nothing like ordering your military to do no harm, eh?
I saw that. He gave that poor woman some rough handling.
Maybe the PM carries a condom in his wallet and was trying to push her into a cloak room?
