The Canadian Forces is just so poorly led.

The Canadian military’s senior leadership was advised the sexual misconduct crisis was a battle for public opinion and those who raised concerns were akin to foreign enemies.
In a series of documents produced for then-acting Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre and other senior leaders in March 2021, advisors highlighted the need to push more positive views about how the Canadian Forces was handling the ongoing sexual misconduct crisis.

Defence Minister Anita Anand on Thursday said her priority is to change military culture. “How do we ensure that we are ready for tomorrow?” she asked a gathering of retired and serving military officers. “First, we start with our people, who must be protected, who must be respected and who must be empowered to serve when they put on a uniform every day. As such, my top priority continues to be meaningful, durable and robust culture change across our institution.”
But Arbour, the retired Supreme Court justice, has raised concerns that many of the recommendations she made to try to halt sexual misconduct in the Canadian Forces have not been followed by the Liberal government. At a House of Commons defence committee meeting Dec. 13, 2022, Arbour accused Canadian Forces leaders of dragging their feet on changes.
National Defence and the Canadian Forces have previously been criticized for ignoring similar reviews and investigations that emerged after sexual misconduct scandals in the late 1990s and 2014-2015.
