Thanks for nailing the CAF to the Nazi wall, Nora. Fascists have been part of the Airborne regiment (now JTF2) for decades. And why would the famed Vandoos be immune?
The extremism expert on The Current this morning referred to normalized levels of sexist and racist behaviour within the CAF...with a nervous chuckle. This professional remark tells me that Cdn media will work very hard to shove this incident Into the bad-apple barrel. And the beginning of summer is perfect to whitewash this crime.
In my former regiment the junior ranks mess was decorated with a large Confederate flag. I was assured it was a symbol of "rural pride", but I complained about it nevertheless.
If any of those folks came from Georgetown (likely), Georgetown District High School adopted the Confederate flag as it's mascot (the Rebels) in the 1960s and didn't get rid of it till the early 2000s.

As a side note, in the 90’s we were taught and assured that at GDHS our racist flag was a symbol of “youthful rebellion”.
Thanks for your wonderful work keeping all informed!

A. IF there is a far-right-segment of the military in Québec City, it's amazing they haven't yet led a violent QuébecLibre revolution.
B. How can this be prevented in the 50,000 people we will now recruit to reach 5% of GDP?
