Over the weekend, Maj.-Gen. Peter Dawe was relieved of his post at the top of Canada’s Special Forces over his handling of a sexual assault case.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan and all of their top officials remain in their jobs despite turning a blind eye to sexual misconduct complaints in the military.
Dawe’s offence is that he wrote a letter of reference for a subordinate convicted of sexual assault against another member of the Forces. The current command is taking a dim view of his actions and has put the general on paid leave while they consider the situation.
It is a sign the military brass is taking the issue of sexual misconduct of any type much more seriously.
Too bad that isn’t happening with the political bosses the military reports to.
Trudeau and Sajjan continue to say that they did nothing wrong in handling sexual misconduct allegations against Jonathan Vance in 2018. The truth is, they not only looked the other way, they extended the general’s contract and gave him a significant raise.
Trudeau said he knew there was a complaint against Vance at the time but didn’t know it was a “MeToo complaint.” Shockingly odd, given Trudeau’s chief of staff and his top political advisers were discussing the matter with top bureaucrats and using the term sexual harassment in emails about the matter.
Did Trudeau not know or did they not want him to know?
We know that at the time of the Vance issue being discussed in the PMO there was already concern that someone would break the story of Trudeau’s Kokanee grope. As the CBC acknowledged in 2018, they knew of the story and had contacted the woman Trudeau manhandled but she declined to comment and didn’t want anything more to do with the story.
Trudeau had gone on the record, in a television interview with the CBC’s Chris Hall, in late January 2018 to say he was sure his past actions were all above board.
“There is no context in which someone doesn’t have responsibility for things they’ve done in the past,” Trudeau told Hall while saying that standard must apply to all, including him as PM.
“As you look back at your own career, is there a chance at some point that your actions might not have been construed as they were intended?” Hall asked.
“I don’t think so. I’ve been very, very careful all my life,” Trudeau said.
Months later, he would be apologizing again for the Kokanee grope while also saying the woman had experienced things differently.
“I don’t remember any negative interactions that day at all,” Trudeau said in July 2018.
Either he's a out and out liar or he's just incompetent.......
I'm sure the TruAnon crowd will chime in with the requisite Orange man diatribe though.
