Retired general's speech slamming Canada's climate change policies, cancel culture and weak leaders applauded by officers
Retired Lt.-Gen. Michel Maisonneuve, accepting a top defence award Nov. 9 in Ottawa, also took a swipe at leaders who he claimed divide rather than unite. While not specifically naming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or Hillary Clinton, Maisonneuve said “can you imagine a military leader labelling half of his command as deplorables, fringe radicals and less-thans and then expect them to fight as one?”In addition, Maisonneuve took issue with the new policy by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre who made recent changes to military dress regulations to include beards and hair colouring, and to give both women and men more options in selecting uniforms.
Maisonneuve made his speech as he accepted the Vimy Award, which honoured him for his life-long contributions in defence, including his work on military education, support for veterans as well as his commitment to bilingualism.
Chaired by Richard Wagner, chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada and Trudeau’s national security advisor Jody Thomas, the Vimy Gala bills itself as “one of the most exclusive formal dining evenings in the country which unites the defence and security community.” It is hosted by the Conference of Defence Associations Institute.
