CitizenVectron Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Fantastic news, and unexpected. Quote In one of her first acts as Canada's new defence minister, Anita Anand announced today she's transferring the investigation and prosecution of sexual misconduct cases within the Canadian Forces into the civilian justice system. The move follows a recommendation from retired Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour. Quote The military has been reeling over a series of sexual misconduct investigations. Since early February 2021, 11 current and former senior Canadian military leaders have been sidelined, investigated or forced into retirement from some of the most powerful and prestigious posts in the defence establishment. The military is rotten from the top, down, so this will hopefully bring justice to those leaders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Does the civilian criminal courts have a good record? My (perhaps jaded) perception was that cases took years longer than they needed to and involved a significant amount of plea bargains, where perpetrators aren't really punished very often.

CitizenVectron Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Cases (and appeals) can take a while, but military cases tend to...preserve the military leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 This is fantastic imo. These issues have been swept under the rug or brushed aside far too long. It's great to see Anand doing this so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
