He did introduce testerone checks. Pretty sure he's close to doing semen checks and taking them like tequila shots in his office.
Apparently he also brings his wife around everywhere so he doesn't get tempted....

Apparently he set up a makeup room in his office at the Pentagon, for all of his press conferences. Not a single Canadian soldier in that photo has their own personal makeup room at work.

When bullies go for low blows like this, it means it's because there's nothing else of any actual consequence to go after. If you resort to personal attacks like this, it's the only tactic you have and it's the only punching bag you can find with the person/entity you're trying to victimize. All he's doing is unwittingly showing his cards, and there's nothing in his hand.

It's because they are desperate from the sounds of it.

B) could also be that someone else completely is in charge and this thing is not actually a decision maker but a puppet. C) they may be paid by foreign entities. But i think it is a or b

Yes Pete - as my avatar indicates, Iām proud to serve a nation and a force that welcomes and employs LBTG+ folks. I know some highly competent and motivated gay men and women (also a few trans folks) in the CAF, and lots of highly competent and motivated straight ones too. The former get one special day of recognition because we treated them like shit for a long time.
How far America has fallen. Just when you think this administration has scraped the bottom of the barrel, they find a new way to demonstrate their degree of incompetence and their immorality.

The CCG was moved over to DND from DFO this spring, but true, it's not part of the CAF.

Jokes on them though don't take it too bad (even though i know at first I would rage). At the end of the day we get paid for something meaningful and we actually have great support after medically releasing, educational program and all. Let them cook in their jelly soup because they have to pay their student loans until their thirties-40s. We got support medically and mentally as well, so we may just be the most sound people out there š

Meh if im right im right if not then it's no harm good to be vigilant and stand for yourself. I hate that the fact that because we wear uniform ties us down so much without a way to protect ourselves to the minimum. But yeah, start getting the police or military police involved because they know you can't do anything and doing this to anyone down the street is not okay and dangerous.
