Military Chief Says Soldiers Who Resist Culture Change in Armed Forces Must Either be Educated or Depart
Soldiers who resist the military’s culture overhaul and “cannot be educated” should “move along,” according to Canada’s top general.
General Wayne Eyre, the Chief of the Defence Staff, made these statements during his testimony before the House of Commons defence committee on May 8. He is scheduled to retire in the upcoming months.
Gen. Eyre played a key role in advocating for significant changes to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) culture, specifically addressing issues like sexual misconduct and systemic racism.
When asked by Liberal MP and committee member Chad Collins for advice on dealing with a “small group of people who just can’t see the path forward,” Gen. Eyre responded: “If they cannot be brought along, if they cannot be educated… well, they have to move along as well.”
These include concepts like quasi-Marxist critical race theory, which focuses on racial dynamics rather than class distinctions, and dismantling systems deemed to promote “white supremacy.”
Gender theory has also been introduced, allowing CAF members to choose their preferred dress uniform regardless of gender.
