This past week, Gen. Jennie Carignan, Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff, tearfully apologized for what she called “systemic racism and racial discrimination” in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

NEW: Canada’s top general, Jennie Carignan, starts crying as she apologizes for “systemic racism.”
At one point during her speech, it sounded like someone was weeping in the background as well.
