DND postpones change of command as military police probe comments at airbase event

Canada’s air force has postponed the installation of a new commander at one of the country’s two main fighter jet bases after military police launched an investigation earlier this summer into alleged inappropriate remarks at an informal gathering.

The Department of National Defence is staying tight-lipped about the specifics of the incident. It’s alleged to have taken place at the 4 Wing airbase in Cold Lake, Alta., on June 23, 2022, in the course of something called a call-sign review board — an event during which call-signs, or nicknames, are assigned to pilots and aircrew weapons controllers.
