Canadian Armed Forces apologizes for racial discrimination and harassment

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) apologized Thursday for racial discrimination and harassment current and past members faced while serving their country.

The apology was made by Gen. Jennie Carignan, chief of the defence staff, and Chief Warrant Officer Bob McCann in Ottawa.

“For way too long First Nations, Inuit, Métis, Black, Asian and other racialized members of the CAF faced systemic barriers that limited their ability to serve, contribute and thrive as equal members and too often mistreated and even abused at the hands of their fellow members,” said Carignan.

“I acknowledge we failed you… We didn’t create an environment where you could serve your country to the highest level with pride and determination and I’m sorry for the silence, indifference and that this went on for years.”

She said the CAF has committed to eliminating systemic barriers, addressing biases at every level, and integrating awareness of systemic racism into recruitment and training.

“Racism has no place in the CAF. It cannot be tolerated and it has no place in our future,” she said.

A prime example why women should not be promoted to high levels in the military, police, and fire services. Just damn.

Sorry FReeper ladies, it is what it is. And part of the problem is just the way the sexes interact, it’s not the ladies’ fault, it’s not the men’s fault, it is just biology, hormones, and mental reactions and such.

Meanwhile, there have been no confirmed sightings of Trevor Cadieu since April 2022 and the media continues to maintain its blackout

We'll have to learn the hard way. The UK will end up getting conquered by Islamists. Canada will gradually transform into New India.
