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.
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 Trudeau has apologized to students of residential schools as well as to Indigenous groups for the abuses and deaths that occurred in that system. He also apologized for Canada’s decision in 1939 to reject asylum for 900 German Jews fleeing the Nazis, of which 254 died in the Holocaust.Article content
The Vimy gala event was held at the Canadian Museum of History with a backdrop of the world’s largest collection of totem poles, created by Indigenous peoples.“Canada’s prosperity is being sacrificed at the altar of climate change as opposed to being used to help the world transition to clean energy,” he added.
Good for him!! He's only saying what most of us wish we could without being called racist!
The science doesn't support the urgency but the conspiracy motives line up perfectly on this. Just look who's squawking the most. Zero Credibility!
Sounds about white. Male.
This given by an actual weak leader.
Climate change has been classified as a major national security threat by every member of NATO, but not Maisonneuve. 🤔 His POV is clearly politically aligned, which is fine for a retired member, but it’s pretty unsettling that any uniformed member in attendance would applaud.
Opinion of old white man gets applauded by old white men. Wow.
No one can have an opinion anymore either jeez
The Canadian Forces who just had a major sexual assault scandal?
Canada needs a military coup asap!
Challenges will always exist..it's how they are dealt with ..is what counts.. RealityCheck
They say a meteor took out the dinosaurs but im not sure it did.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
LEGENDARY
That means there are some officers who possess common sense!!
The only reason you're here posting shit.
Science doesn't care.
Nice!
Traitors say wut? Yeah, we should definitely follow the model of Putin's vaunted forces. If you run fast enough, you might be able to catch some of their routing asses long enough to ask for tips. Off you go!
He looks old enough that he won't have to worry about such issues for much longer.
Old white privileged dude says what now?
Old white men your time is up.
Hero
It’s a joy to see that sanity hasn’t completely abandoned our country
but still do nothing agains corrupt gov
Oh I'm sure Trudy will label them all terrorists and racists like he always does.
I feel the part a lot of the progressive liberal types forget is that if we have nothing in common with each other we may always find a common ground where we may kill each other. And that serves the global banking and capitalist class just fine. Know your enemy!
Awesome
Pathetic, costly and weak old boy's club....
Any chance of a coup? 🙏
We do still have freedom of thought in this country don't we?
Who cares what he thinks
He has no respect for democracy. He does not deserve award for his crime against Canada. He is traitor to Canada and democracy. Any Canadian military leader stand up for him MUST be fired immediately!
Minister of Defence Anita Anita Anand was asked Friday, Oct, 22/22 on cpac, Ukrainian man asked why Bombardier is sending the machines to run the drone to Iran, Then to Russia. I’ll have to look into it says the Minister of National Defence. You had to approve this contract.
Love the comments trashing the veterans opinion, yet last week y'all were preaching lest we forget.....guess you forgot already who went to war and who didn't.
Canadian Forces officers pull out tiny tape measures so they can compare how small their PeePee’s are.
We need more of people like him. Well done
Good
I agree with most of what he said
Where is the link the speech. I don't need your opinion about it, I want to hear it myself
👏👏👏
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?”
They can say what they want, I suppose. They're frustrated angry white men. Has beens.
And they’re qualified to speak on any of this because? So a group leading a mysoginist old boys club doesn’t like Trudeau. Get in line boys! There’s plenty of ya out there!
about time!!
Sexist and racist officers in the CF be like:
Finally! The voice of reason.
The insanity needs to stop!
About time 😮💨
Some did, some didn't.
Sounds like something to applaud
100%! The military is weak as Fck now. It is deplorable. The whole culture has not only ruined the militray but is ruining Canadian heritage and life. It needs to end, bc the diversity is placing people in positions who are not qualified and lack the knowledge, we’re failing 🍁
Evidence of Dangerous Radicalization of Tax payer funded Armed Forces Emerges”. Fixed your headline. Majority disapproves and pays their wages.
Radicalization of white men affects every system and it needs to stop
This man should run for PM! Everything he said was spot on, despite the lame reporters attempt to gloss over and debunk all of it (of course 🙄)-the world need more of these people, much much more.
'They tore down a statue of a pedo 😭😭😭' - Ret. Lt.-Gen. Michel Maisonneuvee
He was 100% on point.
Big deal. Just because they serve doesn't make them special.
Canadian Forces really need to raise their standards if these are the kinds of minds they call 'officers'
Quite the caveman.
Why is the only major media company that reports on this? Where's the unbiased CBC, CTVNews, bellmedia, globeandmail and every other Canadianmedia that received money from JustinTrudeau & the liberal_party?
PeterRussell02 Wow that sounds good!
He may be slightly off but he’s right about some stuff. Strict uniform/appearance policy requires no change. You bend to the military, it doesn’t bend to you.
One retired, for good reason, officer captivates silly privileged. NEWS FLASH: Vacuum sucks up budgie.
And yet they still force their members to get a vaccine that doesn't work...
Fixed the headline for you: 'Retired old man has nothing better to do than complain about how things were better back in the day' I've also included an image. Split a byline?
They slammed global communism. Fixed the headline.
sunlorrie Trudeau has lost the confidence of the military, why do people find this surprising?
Bye-Bye Trudeau and his ilk.
It has gotten to the point where I have to block some conservative MSM as they are spewing out misinformation. Bye.
We have 8 billion people on this planet..hence, it affects climate. Not rocket science.
And they wonder why nobody wants to be in the military anymore Hahahahaha out of touch old men.
I don't give a rat's arse what those CAF officers think, unless they're commenting on military matters.
It’s common sense. Deal with it.
The military gets politicized by Fascists? What could go wrong?! 🤣
Maisonneuve4PM
Too bad he's retiring.
So do we
Where can I see the speech!
Good. Someone needs to.
The CAF officer cadre have not exactly covered themselves in glory of late but sure, their applause is newsworthy and relevant.
the dinosaur speaks
Rednecks applaud rednecks, film at 11
So you're advocating insubordination against democratically-elected civilian governments, by the uniformed military, aren't you? About the kind of nonsense that we'd expect from a far-Right rag like the Sun.
Yep.
Hooray 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
And why have these officers not been dealt with?
How to you spell rag rage farming 'journalism'? postmedianet
At the end of the speech I assume he threw his arm forward. Was he making a fist or was his hand flat and at a angle? Just asking for someone. CombatASemitism
BREAKING: 'old conservative men applaud a speech that fits their narrative' WHO👏THE👏FUCK👏CARES👏
A real patriot protects the people from their government too.
The CAF is already suffering low recruitment & a speech like that will not invite the next generation of soldiers! CAF leadership should publicly condemn his speech. 2/2 TheWestBlock MercedesGlobal
Ret LGen Michel Maisonneuve is a dinosaur & a monument as to why members of the CAF have suffered decades of abuse from the higher ranks. His speech is ripe with entitlement & disdain towards others. His views are narrow, unapologetic & crass. 1/2 TheWestBlock MercedesGlobal
Awesome, don't forget those who serve can't serve until vaccinated....total joke!
Awesome
Would love to see some video of that speech.
Thank you Canadian Forces Officers, I was born and grew up on bases, my dad joined the army as a skinny 16 year old kid in 1958 and retired an officer in 1982 and he is by far the smartest man I ever met in my life.
Why are they even wasting their time serving? They could make tons more money in the private sector or policing. The woke Canadian military is a f'n joke. Who wants to do Justin Trudeau's dirty work?
they need to remove by force if necessary thte virtue signalling drake drooler, who didn't even show up for REmembrance Day Ceremonies!
I applaud them for taking this stand.
The climate change movement is a death cult who's goal is totalitarianism.
Balanced journalism, he said, is difficult to find and ”too often we are subjected to sermons written not by seasoned journalists but by first year graduates of woke journalism schools.” “Unbiased reporting seems to have died with Christie Blatchford and Matthew Fisher. '
LOL AmericanOwnedPostmedia daily news .
Maybe General Wayne Eyre and Lieutenant-General Jocelyn Joe Paul are watching and may act in the appropriate legal matter to protect the foreign infiltration of China to our Parliament.
do Canadian armed forces really say fuck the climate?
Canadian armed forces back 1950s outdated rhetoric
Responding to climate change emergencies should therefore be handled by someone else.
Pierre4PM
Truth hurts, doesnt it? Where do I send a tissue? He s on point.
💪
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And many Canadians are thinking the same................
Well, Trudeau is the ultimate weak leader. A bully. A deep state pawn.
Patriots don’t agree with degrading our country and our history? That we shouldn’t be flushing our economy down the drain for green energy policies that go no where and instead should be supplying our Allies with LNG/oil? Wow. Shocking.
Anyone who loves this country and is sworn to defend it would applaud. The rest can go sit with Trudeau and unknot their panties
Bang on General!
Bunch of good ole boys agree with silly old man. Story at 6.
What a steaming pile of nonsense. Glad he’s retired.
Agree
So do millions of other Canadians.
CdnMediaFailed
And of course they would. 🤡
ONEWORLDREICH
He is absolutely spot on. About time someone with enough kahunas called it like it is instead of cowering in the corner.
Welcome to twisted theories , rage farming tabloid farming titled : Sun Media
Finally sosome honest to stand up to the disaster Trudeau has created in a few short years
FYI SUN report.
'In a statement to this newspaper, Youri Cormier, executive director of the Conference of Defence Associations and CDA Institute noted that “many attendees were offended by LGen (ret’d)' Because he was talking about people like them.
👍👍👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
As they should.
