It would be a heckuva thing if people pushing over-the-top anti-US rhetoric while wrapping themselves in a Canadian flag had to navel-gaze and perhaps admit they were helping China and/or Russia by taking a few swings at the wedges Trump is pounding on.

I know her quite well, and she and I collaborated on a number of things, including below the threshold warfare, and the emerging (at that time - now imminent) threat that China represents. She has a very good case IMHO.

They way they fired her is pretty shocking. Seems like they did that to send a message. They had to know she'd go the way of a wrongful dismissal suit and didn't care about the few million taxpayers would be on the hook for it.

At what point does toxic behaviour towards women that dare have an opinion become a hallmark of Liberal leadership? Its insane theyre so Teflon on this issue.

Especially if, as it seems in many cases, it's toxic women who are acting toxically towards other women. Just saying

Looks like she was flying a bit too close to the sun...

Despite the narrative that is developed over the last 3 to 4 years, if not longer in the Canadian armed forces, things may not be as they seem. Another way to say that is that the opposite of toxic masculinity is not enlightened femininity. It is in fact toxic femininity

There are many female executive versions of George Patton. None are as stylish as he was.

There's a reason that they say "nurses eat their young".

Beyond ‘Mean Girls’: Women-To-Women Bullying At Work And What Leaders Can Do About It​

Workplace bullying is often discussed as a gendered power struggle that centers around the narrative of men who are in authority positions abusing their power and influence in ways that lead to the mistreatment of women below them. That dynamic absolutely exists, but it isn’t the full picture. A growing body of research suggests that some of the most persistent and damaging workplace bullying experienced by women comes not only from men, but surprisingly, from other women. This stark reality may be uncomfortable to label, but it’s essential to address. More importantly, it’s important to understand that bullying between and among women is not rooted in them being inherently and uniquely unkind but speaks to a much larger and more critical issue that highlights systems and organizational cultures and structures that exist to reward competition over collaboration among women. Workplace bullying is a leadership issue, not a personality problem. Although not always blatantly clear, for leaders committed to building equitable and high-performing workplaces, who choose to ignore this pattern can pay a devastating cost.

From my limited view, beliefs such as hers articulated in that article are few in defence. The purge has been successful. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I think she had it exactly correct.

 

[PPCLI Guy]

I'm not so sure about a purge. She definitely was on the right track and she and I agreed on so much. There are others in in the senior levels of the CAF who also share some of her views.

In my experience, Policy people in the PS (and often academia) have a tendency to be quite staid in their thinking. The knock-on effect of that is bigger than one would think. Especially in the public service. There isn't really a leadership class or a route to leadership in the public service that doesn't go through the gateway of being a policy person. In the PS, the opposite of a policy person is someone that is in ops. You can see how that may manifest itself. In fact, it's pretty obvious that it is already manifesting itself across the public service.

Just a few thoughts

“Fearless advice, loyal implementation”. It’s the old public service bargain that they should offer the best advice possible and keep concerns and criticism private, then loyally carry out the policies determined by those who are politically accountable.

Now with that said, when someone is specifically and deliberately interchanged to an external organization that has a specific place in the policy debate ecosystem, meaningful participation therein should mean that person is, within reason, afforded the latitude of the hat they wear. Otherwise a fair bit of the point is probably lost.

Snark free post.

Northern Perspective once again provides some insight into the goings on in parliamentary committees and motion debates.

Very, very concerning that the CBC, yes the CBC, the NDP, the greens, the bloc and of course the Conservatives are really upset about motions and bills not be debated or very little debate.

This is NOT a good look in my perspective and refelcts poorly on the governing Liberals.

AI Summary, Mr @Altair ?

AI ASSISTED
This video from Northern Perspective criticizes the Mark Carney government for its use of programming motions to fast-track controversial legislation through Parliament (10:24-11:00). The video draws attention to the concerns of a CBC At Issue panel, which described the government's tactics—such as cutting off debate and limiting witness testimony—as unprecedented (0:34-0:40, 6:22-6:38).

Key Highlights:

• The Legislative Process: The video explains how the government uses programming motions to bypass traditional parliamentary debate, specifically citing Bill C-22 (the lawful access bill) as an example of legislation being forced through without sufficient scrutiny (11:00-12:00, 13:42-14:30).
• Parliamentary Accountability: MP Frank Caputo and other opposition members express deep frustration, arguing that limiting debate prevents proper oversight, which could lead to poorly written legislation and future constitutional challenges (13:28-14:30, 18:18-18:43).
• Comparative Analysis: The creator contrasts the current government's speed in passing Bill C-22 with the slower, more deliberative process used for similar legislation during the Stephen Harper era, noting that the current process involves significantly fewer committee meetings and witness testimonies (26:24-28:10).

Conclusion:The video concludes by validating the concerns of mainstream media panelists and opposition MPs, suggesting that these tactics undermine democratic norms and public trust in the Carney government (28:12-29:21).
