That decision comes as the Conservatives and NDP members of the committee argue no one has yet taken responsibility and the probe should continue, but as one prominent group of survivors says the meetings have become too partisan.

SMOL: Abolish Canada’s armed forces? No, NDP needs to grow up
At this weekend’s convention my fellow social democrats in the NDP will be faced with a resolution to abolish the Canadian Armed Forces.
That’s right, resolution 04-42-20 states “BE IT RESOLVED THAT an NDP government will commit to phasing out the Canadian Armed Forces.”

NDP to debate phasing out Canada’s Armed Forces at policy convention
The policy resolution titled “Elimination of the Canadian Armed Forces” was submitted by the party’s Spadina-Fort York Electoral District Association (EDA).
It claims that “in a world with a globalized economy traditional militaries are becoming increasingly unnecessary” and points to other countries like Costa Rica and Iceland which have allegedly “abolished their armies.”

The Woke-Military-Complex
Recently, Fox News show host Tucker Carlson committed the sin of scrutinizing the military’s general embrace of a “woke” perspective. “So we’ve got new hairstyles and maternity flight suits,” he said, referring to updated Army and Air Force hair regulations. “Pregnant women are going to fight our wars. It’s a mockery of the U.S. military.” Put simply, he believes the Pentagon has the wrong priorities—and he’s right. Consider that since 2016, the military has also spent roughly $8 million on hormone therapy and surgical treatments for 1,500 transgender troops. How does this prepare America for a seemingly inevitable confrontation with China?
Washington Wants To Be Able To Draft Your Daughters Into Military Service, in the Name of ‘Equity’
“The current disparate treatment of women unacceptably excludes women from a fundamental civic obligation and reinforces gender stereotypes about the role of women, undermining national security.”
Sensing Weakness: Xi Jinping Commands Chinese Military To Be Ready For War
Xi “has told the country’s military and armed police force to get ‘combat ready’ to defend national sovereignty and security, amid fears that Beijing may be planning an invasion of democratic Taiwan in the next few years,” according to Radio Free Asia.
Overwhelming Failure Rate Among Women Causes Army To Halt ‘Gender Neutral’ Fitness Standards
Soldiers are expected to perform a sprint, a maximum deadlift, hand-release push-ups, a standing power throw, a leg tuck, drag and carry, and a two-mile run. The soldier must score at least 360 points out of 600 points in order to pass the exam, the Daily Telegraph UK reported. Women, however, have an average score of 1oo points lower than the requirements.
Can’t the UN force worldwide militaries establish quotas for physically disadvantaged women, trannys, and pregnant xhe/xirs?

Attack on Fox’s Tucker Shows Biden’s Wokeness is Spreading to the Military
Former President Donald Trump, according to liberals, was the supposed “fascist,” who used the military and its troops as props and pawns of his policy agenda.
Yet President Joe Biden is actually turning the U.S. military against American citizens.
KRUTA: Tucker Was Right About The Military, And The Intentional Perversion Of His Point Endangers Americans
The entire United States military — from the Pentagon on down to the rank and file, including veterans — declared a virtual war on Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson. But they did so based on an intentional misrepresentation of his comments.
Military Sergeant Responds to Tucker Carlson, Claims Pregnant Soldiers Are Our National Strength
U.S. Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant Scott H. Stalker issued a rebuttal on Thursday to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who uttered the heresy that putting pregnant women into combat situations might not make America stronger.
Stalker, a veteran military-industrial complex operative who has gained power and prestige from fighting in deep state conflicts throughout the years, called out Carlson for questioning the golden calf of tolerance.
Taxpayers to Foot Bill for Military ‘Transgender’ Surgeries
Buried inside one of Joe Biden’s record-breaking stack of January executive orders and actions was a clause repealing an Obama-era policy that prohibited taxpayer funding of “gender-reassignment” surgery. In Biden’s EO, dubiously titled “Enabling All Qualified Americans to Serve Their Country in Uniform,” is the provision that the government (read: taxpayers) will foot the bill for any active-duty military personnel and veterans seeking to “transition” genders.
A Permanent National Guard Force At The Capitol?
Following the hearings that were held to examine what exactly happened during and leading up to the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill, a task force was established to make recommendations to improve security and prevent such unrest in the future. They’ve come back with their first findings now and one of the first suggestions on the list is a bit of an eye-opener. The team, led by retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, suggests establishing a permanent National Guard unit in Washington, D.C. with the ability to respond quickly in the event of another attack of that sort. While that may seem like a fine idea at first glance, there are a number of factors that complicate the situation quite a bit.
Pentagon prevented immediate response to mob, says Guard chief
The D.C. National Guard chief on Wednesday told lawmakers he would have “immediately” activated his forces to assist U.S. Capitol Police on Jan. 6 if his authority had not been restricted by the Pentagon.
“I would have sent them there immediately as soon as I hung up,” Commanding Gen. William Walker told lawmakers on the Senate Rules Committee and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee at a hearing evaluating the security breakdown that occurred when a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol.
“My next call would have been to my subordinate commanders, to get every single guardsman in this building and everybody that’s helping the Metropolitan Police…to the Capitol, without delay.”
Walker on Wednesday told lawmakers about a Jan. 5 letter from acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller that restricted his ability to deploy the Quick Reaction Force and seek approval from higher ups before moving his National Guard forces.
