I've written several posts about the tragic story of Cpl. Stuart Langridge, who killed himself seven years ago after serving his country honourably in Bosnia and Afghanistan.
I told you how the military didn't accept that he was suffering from PTSD, they didn't treat his illness, they treated him like a cheater, until he finally hanged himself.
I also told you how they kept his suicide note from his parents for over a year, even though it was addressed to them.
And how his parents finally found out earlier this year that a secret military report had blamed him for what happened.
But this has to be the final betrayal.
A few days ago I wrote a post about how Stephen Harper was turning the RCMP into Harper's police.
Just another tool in his campaign to try to win the next election.
Now please stand to attention, kiss our democracy goodbye.
And salute Harper's Army.
Well today is Mother's Day which is a good day for florists, and yet another good excuse to tell your Mum you love her.
And I see that Stephen Harper is using the occasion to make us believe that he's on their side.
But I'd rather think that Mother's Day is every day of the year, and remember all the mothers, especially single mothers, he has done nothing to help.
Or as Michael Harris writes, remember the mothers Harper's Army has betrayed.
It's now been two full days since this shocking report on sexual harassment and violence in the Canadian Armed Forces.
The Canadian Armed Forces perpetuates a sexualized military culture that is hostile to women and gay members, and harassment and assault are often tolerated by senior officers, according to a report released Thursday.
But still Jason Kenney, the Defence Minister, has yet to issue a single solitary statement, about the problem and what he expects the military to do about it.
So now I'd like to ask that grotesque chicken hawk which of these details does he NOT find offensive?
The other night I wrote about the tragic story of Cpl. Stuart Langridge, who killed himself seven years ago after serving his country honourably in Bosnia and Afghanistan.
And I described how the military didn't accept that he was suffering from PTSD, treated him like a criminal, and didn't let his family read the suicide note he addressed to them until more than a year after he died.
Well today his family finally got to read a heavily redacted secret military report, and it couldn't be more shocking.
