The Liberals could have taken an attitude of responsibility and contrition from the get-go, instead they’re going round in circles

, the Liberal government has appointed a former Supreme Court judge to report on creating an independent body to handle complaints of sexual harassment in the military.

This should have been the time for Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan to put words into action, but everything Mr. Sajjan said Thursday made it clear that he hasn’t got the foggiest notion of how to do it. “We don’t need another review. All the information is there,” said Megan Mackenzie, the Simons chair in international law and human security at Simon Fraser University. “They’ve had five years to think about how to build an independent body.”Whatever bright insights Ms. Arbour might eventually offer next year, Ms. Mackenzie’s words sum up where the Liberal government is, after all this time, on sexual misconduct in the military: Still not action.

The allegations against several high-ranking officers that emerged this year were bad enough, but the tale of how Mr. Sajjan closed his eyes to evidence of alleged conduct by former chief of the defence staff

Wow. Way off the mark here, Glob. PM Trudeau has explained legal process many times, also that the complaint couldn't proceed as the complainant didn't want to give more info. This happens all the time in sexual harrassment cases. It's frustrating, but it's not Trudeau's fault.

If my guess is correct, most likely Defence Minister will quit suddenly as did then Federal Finance minister did then? As did WE charities suddenly dissolved its charity in the midst of Controversy. Whatever PMO, PCO and this Defence minister say , I think not digestable.

Remains to see how the CBC deflects this and blames the conservatives.

On some days, the Defence Minister harjitsajjan seemed to think it was just crazy talk to suggest that he was responsible for the military. Maybe that’s why he never seemed to think it was his job to follow up on Ms. Deschamps’s.... cdnpoli cdnmedia

Sajjian displays incompetent in dealing with sexual misconduct possibly due to his heritage past, also to trudeau's own systemic history ?.

A big comet will disrupt the axis and balance, and the entire world will be in darkness. Then Allah SWT will by His mercy return the earth into its position. This is one of many predictions in Muhammad Qasim’s dreams about the future. More at

Dajjal will appear a few years after Allah SWT fills this world with mercy, peace and happiness. The time of Dajjal will be trivial and testing for many with weak faith. Many divine predictions in Qasim’s dreams have already come true. More at
