Cue the gags about major controversy, general consternation and private satisfaction. A retired senior Canadian officer just delivered a salvo against cancel culture, whiny entitlement and “woke journalism,” his still-uniformed colleagues gave him a standing ovation, and the usual suspects reached for the smelling salts. A mirror might have been a better choice.
Retired Lt.-Gen. Michel Maisonneuve ranted against toppling statues and erasing history, climate activists vandalizing art, replacing personal responsibility with collective apologies as “Individuals and groups fight over who gets to wear the coveted victims’ cloak,” gender-neutral military uniforms and “these days of entitlement, Me First, not my problem and endless subsidies and handouts” generally.
Rahr. Or waaaaaaah if you’re the government subsidized CDA, whose executive director simpered to the Ottawa Citizen that “many attendees were offended by LGen (ret’d) Maisonneuve’s speech. His remarks do not reflect those of the CDA Institute.” Yeah, well, they do reflect those of a great many Canadians including those currently serving and likely to serve.
