Yup Eskimo is an honorable name ,as back in the day a true Eskimo gained that distinction by being as wide as tall . Being man enough to attain that girth was the sign of a true Eskimo.

Let me get this straight, although the actual people referenced in the team support it - you (oops, I mean 'society') deem it offensive to those people (that support it).

Nope, we are firmly in snowflake territory when an outside group decides the appropriateness on behalf of another group of which they know absolutely nothing about.

..... Ironically, kinda colonizing in it's own way.

Gov. Gen. Payette has created a toxic climate of harassment and verbal abuse at Rideau Hall, sources allege

Gov. Gen. Julie Payette has created a toxic environment at Rideau Hall by verbally harassing employees to the point where some have been reduced to tears or have left the office altogether, sources tell CBC News.

Four members of Payette's communications team have departed during the pandemic period alone. A fifth person is leaving this week and another two have taken leaves of absence. It's just the latest wave of staff to quietly transfer out of the small office in response to mistreatment during Payette's mandate, multiple sources said.

"This has gone from being one of the most collegial and enjoyable work environments for many of the staff to being a house of horrors," said one government source. "It's bullying and harassment at its worst."......More

Yep Eskimos were regarded as the toughest people on the planet due to the extremes they had to live through.

Just another french man/woman from Quebec being allowed to run and ruin and rule over the rest of English Canada. These french lieberal socialist buffoons have been allowed to wreck what once was a great British and European country. All we get for our tax dollars now from these french traitors to English Canada is just more of their french communist globalist bull shit. Canada must separate from french socialist liberal Quebec because french socialist liberal separatist Quebec will never want to separate from English Canada. They already know that they would be fukd big time if they did.

Why is it that all the people that have gone into space first were french ones like Garneau/male and Payette/female? And why is our space headquarters program in Quebec anyway? I thought that the french from Quebec wanted out of Canada? Strange indeed, eh?

And now Trudie deemed it not necessary to nominate our top General to the NATO council

COMMENTARY: Retirement of Gen. Jonathan Vance is big loss for Canada on international stage

After failing to win the backing of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his nomination as NATO’s most senior military officer, Gen. Jonathan Vance has announced his retirement from the Canadian Armed Forces.

Vance's retirement followed a decision by Trudeau to reject Vance’s candidacy to become Military Adviser to NATO’s Secretary-General, Global News reported Thursday.

This was a stunning rebuke to a soldier who has spent 39 years of his life in service to his country, including long assignments in Germany, the Balkans and Afghanistan. It underscores how Canada has increasingly chosen to punch well below its weight internationally in security matters while promoting a progressive agenda overseas that was strongly rejected when Canada tried in June for a seat on the United Nations Security Council.

Vance is arguably Canada’s most well-known warrior in more than half a century. The only Canadian to serve two combat tours in Kandahar and now in his sixth year as commander of all Canadian forces, he was highly respected among Canada’s closest allies, and had been considered a strong favourite for the key job in Brussels.

Nominations for the NATO job must be sanctioned by national governments. Only chiefs of defence can be considered.

The vote on who will succeed Air Chief Marshal Stuart Peach of Great Britain is to be held in mid-September in Rome. Nominations for the position closed on July 16. Poland and the Netherlands have nominated their top generals.

After Ottawa apparently chose not to support his candidacy for Brussels, Vance told Trudeau that he was going to retire from the Armed Forces.

Because his conversations with the prime minister were always confidential, the general said in an interview that he could not discuss what they talked about.

“I am not angry at all,” Vance said moments after the Department of National Defence announced his impending retirement on social media.

“This is completely and entirely the prerogative of government. They will have their reasons.”

COMMENTARY: Justin Trudeau is WE-deep in trouble

Trudeau’s apparent refusal to support Vance stands in stark contrast to the prime minister's strong push for a much less influential temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council.

That Vance will not continue his career is a big loss for Canada on the international stage.

That he won't be in the mix for Brussels is also NATO’s loss. The alliance could use a highly regarded commander of Vance’s skill and vast experience because it faces a difficult and uncertain future. Among the many challenges are extreme budget pressures caused by the economic fallout from COVID-19.

On the diplomatic and operational side, NATO is being tested by Russia’s ongoing provocations in Ukraine and threats to Central Europe, a rise in cyberattacks on western security networks and the rise of China, which has designs on the Arctic and has been trying to buy influence over some NATO states in Europe.

“Knowing that I would be leaving, one way or another, I was quite careful to work to get all the big things underway,” he said. “There are still a few things I want to get done (as CDS) but they are already quite mature.

"I arrived in the job with an agenda and the cupboard is kind of bare right now.”

COMMENTARY: Canada should follow Australia’s example in defence, foreign policy

Vance came under fire several times from the Taliban when out on combat patrols in Afghanistan. The general was deeply affected on a personal level when one of his bodyguards, Cpl. Nick Bulger, was killed only 15 metres away from him when his armoured vehicle struck an improvised explosive device.

“There is nothing like the crucible of conflict to bring you closer to troops and to your profession,” Vance said. “That has left an indelible mark on me. I will always carry the Afghan experience with me. It made me better as a leader and commander. It helped me as the chief of defence staff.

Asked who had the greatest influence on his unusually long career, Vance, who is the army’s senior infantry officer and the senior soldier in the Royal Canadian Regiment, said that as he wrote his letter to the troops on Thursday in which he told them he was relinquishing command, he said his first thought was of “every sergeant-major I ever had from my first, Tom Daigle, in Winnipeg, in 1986, and especially Sergeant-Major Stan Stapleford,” who served with him in Afghanistan.

He said he also remembered the special bond he had with every one of his military drivers.

There is no declared timetable for the prime minister to name his successor, but Vance thought it likely that this would happen before the end of the year.
