It released a statement Nov. 25 that Dr. Ramesh Zacharias, the organization’s CEO, “requested and received, on behalf of the Board, the resignation of Lieutenant-General J.O. Michel Maisonneuve.” Maisonneuve’s speech during his acceptance of a top defence award in Ottawa has divided the military community. Some retired military personnel, upset over a crackdown on sexual misconduct and the charges laid against several senior officers for sexual assault as well as “woke” policies and a lack of defence funding, saw it as a rebuke of the Liberal government.
Defence minister Anita Anand apologized last year to those who faced sexual assaults and harassment in the Canadian Forces. Maisonneuve also criticized the judgement of historical leaders “against the standards of today. Enough statues have been toppled; erasing our history is not the solution.”
