Canada’s anti-woke General speaks out
Outspoken retired Lieutenant-General slams nation’s leadership, complacency crises.
Many already know of the rapid decay our military is enduring, captured by woke political ideologies, our armed forces have not only become a shell of their former selves, so too has their mismanagement hindered Canada’s reputation the world over, from tampons in men’s bathrooms, to soldiers being starved overseas.
With few people more capable of diagnosing the state of Canada’s Armed Forces, and the political leadership crisis enabling its rapid decay, from an insiders perspective, highly decorated, former Lieutenant –General, Assistant Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff, and chief of Staff of NATO Allied Command Transformation in Norfolk, Michel Maisonneuve, has now taken to the public warning of the dangers that lie ahead, and what needs to be done to sustain the very bedrock of our nation.
In this report we interviewed the man himself just prior to his Calgary event, titled, “Canada’s Leadership Crisis”, during which he discusses Canada's crises of leadership and complacency, critiquing extremist progressive policies, and lack of national vision and pride.

This comes after he was cancelled in 2022, grilled in the media and asked to resign from his then position on the board of directors at an organization researching chronic pain in veterans. All because of his acceptance speech made after receiving the Vimy Award, granted to those who have made significant and outstanding contributions to the nation. After decades of silence, his anti-woke speech caused an uproar, and launched him towards the writing of his recent novel, “In Defence of Canada, reflections of a patriot”.
As Canada continues its rapid downward spiral led by the Liberal government’s radical agendas, his voice on the matter provides critical insight from an insider's perspective on the disaster that lies ahead if things don’t change.
We spoke with him before his event, to detail his stance on the current situation Canada finds itself in.

Trudeau has failed Canada, failed our Military with his woke ideologies. Our Military and Veterans deserve the best Canadians can give them not the despicable treatment received from the current regime. A Conservative government MUST keep their promises to treat our Military members with respect, dignity and bigger investments for their needs given every member takes an oath to give Canada and Canadians their all. I am proud of our Military and appreciate their dedication and love of country, they are warriors not Libranos.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-02-05 19:47:33 -0500Will Pierre Poilievre listen to such brave military personnel? He’s shown himself weak on issues he thinks might sabotage his run for prime minister. The truth is that most folks love our military and they don’t listen to CBC. Pierre needs to strengthen his knees and backbone.
