“The allegations are false, but they must be investigated thoroughly to expose the truth,” Lt.-Gen. Cadieu said. “I believe that all complaints should be investigated professionally, regardless of the rank of the accused.” He added that he asked Gen. Eyre to “consider selecting another leader” for the army.
Postponing the ceremony “is not an indictment of Lt.-Gen. Cadieu,” the joint statement from the Defence Department and the Canadian Forces said. “However, in light of the ongoing investigation, a decision was made to allow the justice system to pursue the matter in accordance with the rule of law.” NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said in a statement on Wednesday they “have consistently failed service women – and Canadians – by appointing and protecting men who are not equipped or not interested in changing the status quo.”
We have heard repeatedly that sexual misconduct and harassment have been commonplace in the Cdn AF for years. Shd we be surprised if many who have funneled through the chain of command have generic &/or learned attributes conducive to such adverse behavior? Just curious...
globepolitics Can’t these military assholes get anything right? No matter which guy they put on top, turns out he has a history of sexual abuse. It’s high time the women took over command.

No wonder! Women complained and no one did a thing. With this attitude there is probably a lot of woman more qualified for the job than these misogynistic men. Choose the right woman for the job.
Is there any male in the Canadian Armed Forces upper echelon who has lead a life that would not lead to sexual harrassment charges Perhaps they should consider a female, jus sayyin
