Possible
leak related to new fleet might have sparked admiral’s removal
By Bruce
Campion-SmithOttawa Bureau Wed., Jan. 18, 2017
"Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau also refused to provide any insights
into the decision.
“The
chief of defence staff took a decision and this government
supports Gen.
Vance in the decision that he took and I have nothing
further to say on this
at this time,” Trudeau told reporters during a
stop in Fredericton,
N.B."
"Still, Norman’s abrupt removal has sent seismic waves through
the
Defence Department and the allegation of leaked classified
information
has only added to the shock.
“It’s bred into us from the
day we join the military. The rules and
regulations, we’re reminded of it
every because of the material we
deal with,” one former officer said
Tuesday.
“Everything is classified, even things that are unclassified.
That’s
still a classification,” he told the Star.
“Mishandling of
classified information, that’s an extremely serious
situation and it gets
more serious with the rank that is associated
with it,” he
said."

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War”
Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians
free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s
skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean
Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second
campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary
to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that
were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There
were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the
dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces
for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last
minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its
mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would
not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy
a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins
to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less
costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one
seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly
incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and
stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above
it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving
Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau
and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean
Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war”
without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian
Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and
babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment
of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by
planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as
a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian
Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional
authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently
clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar
Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The
Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to
the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t
happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons
regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President
George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York;
that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of
logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war
of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of
Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the
developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how
small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied
state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war
of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate”
or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and
Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no
matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda
“marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the
“Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments
cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at
the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same
time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors
of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7
and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from
Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper,
Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that
reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin,
Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and
tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy
lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling
Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other
nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee
Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a
sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they
too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS
“caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the
scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As
Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in
diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending
Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and
modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s
are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced
five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock
that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My
Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle
served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not
served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any
way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in
any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great
nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their,
our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing
so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own
security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never
before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the
world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so
now

"But
Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were
not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum
initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of
Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian
general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence
staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of
35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk
was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that
helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."
"I
remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that
Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and
sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US
policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other
of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the
planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that
would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There
was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where
there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient
for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the
planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the
occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also
concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they
at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of
civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There
was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its
people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the
lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like
Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the
mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop
can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very
preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq
operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being
applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was
onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and
Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that
Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine
operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in
Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an
Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save
Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of
which
....not necessarily in that order. "

Vice-Admiral Mark Norman is retiring. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press)
Vice-Admiral Mark Norman has reached a settlement with the
federal government and will retire from the military, the Department of
National Defence announced Wednesday.
A single charge of breach of
trust against Norman, who was accused of leaking cabinet secrets in
relation to a shipbuilding deal, was stayed by the prosecution last
month. Prosecutors said there was no reasonable prospect of conviction.
The
case was slated to go to court in August, likely would have run through
the fall federal election and prompted accusations of political
interference at the hands of the Liberal government.
Norman was suspended from his job as
vice chief of the defence staff after the RCMP raided his home in
January 2017, but was not formally relieved of his duties until 18
months later.
Norman had indicated that he wanted to return to his post.
According
to a DND statement, discussions between his lawyer and the federal
government, which were overseen by a former Ontario Court of Appeal
justice, have resulted in a settlement — "the details of which will
remain confidential." The settlement appears to forestall any possible
lawsuit against the federal government by Norman.
A defence
official, speaking on background, said Wednesday no date has been set
for his retirement and that all Norman's "benefits commensurate with
the time spent in the Canadian Armed Forces," including his pension,
will be paid.
The mediation discussions between Norman's lawyer
and the government took place over the last two weeks and "were held in
good faith," the official said.
Political embarrassment
The
Norman case, which started with a 2015 CBC News report on details of a
Liberal cabinet meeting about a deal to convert a civilian cargo ship to
a military supply vessel, turned into a major source of political
embarrassment for the Trudeau government even before the charge was
stayed.
On Nov. 19, 2015, former CBC News reporter James Cudmore revealed detailsof
a cabinet decision to delay approval of a deal for Quebec-based
shipbuilder Chantier Davie Canada Inc. to convert the ship. That $668
million deal had been signed by Stephen Harper's previous
Conservative government on the eve of the election.
In
its court brief, the Crown alleged that Norman "knowingly and
deliberately" leaked cabinet secrets to both an executive at Davie and
to Cudmore, and breached cabinet secrecy on 12 separate occasions
between Oct. 3, 2014 and into November 2015.
Allegations of political interference
Norman
pleaded not guilty. His lawyers alleged political
interference, accusing the Privy Council Office of attempting to direct
the prosecution. While providing no specifics, his legal team subpoenaed
emails, text messages and meeting notes belonging to Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau and his senior advisers.
But federal prosecutors
insisted there was no political interference in the case, nor in the
decision to stay the charge. Attorney General and Justice Minister David
Lametti also denied any political interference.
CBC News has
reported that three former ministers in the Harper cabinet, and a
handful of staffers who were around when the shipbuilding project was
negotiated, cooperated with the defence and provided information that
may have been pertinent to the case.
Among other things, that
information included confirmation that Norman had the authorization of
the Harper cabinet to speak to the Davie Shipyard and share information
as the project was assembled.
Last month, the House of Commons voted unanimously to apologize to Norman for his legal ordeal.
Conservative
Opposition leader Andrew Scheer took to Twitter Wednesday afternoon to
praise Norman and condemn what he described as a "politically motivated
smear campaign" against an officer who had served "with honour and
distinction."
Another 'best wishes in retirement' message came
from former Liberal cabinet minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, who was in
charge of the justice department when Norman was charged.
"Thank
you Vice-Admiral Mark A.G. Norman, CMM CD, for your years of dedicated
and meritorious service to Canada," Wilson-Raybould tweeted. "Wishing
you well in your future endeavours."
The government's own statement thanked Norman for his service and wished him well.
The
reaction from Liberals today to Norman's departure was largely silence,
however. The exception was Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, who is
responsible for the RCMP.
In an interview with CBC's Power and Politics,
Goodale stuck largely with the government line but also expressed
relief: "I'm just happy the process has drawn to a conclusion."
Opposition attempts to investigate the handling of the case were stymied in both the House of Commons and the Senate.
Following
the end of his criminal case, Norman said he had a story to tell, one
that he hoped the public could learn from. But in the nearly two months
since, he has only given one interview — to the Postmedia newspaper
chain — in which he described the personal toll the case has taken over two years.
He
did not address the remaining substantive public policy questions, such
as whether there was political interference in the shipbuilding deal at
the heart of the case.
The fact that Norman's retirement and
confidential settlement came on the same day startled former
Conservative cabinet minister Erin O'Toole.
He described it as political operation by the Liberals to clean up the case before this fall's election.
"This
is unparalleled in Canadian history when one of our most trusted public
servants, the second highest ranking member of the military, was
essentially dragged through a public show trial, in many ways, over
something he was later vindicated over," said O'Toole. "All of it could
have been avoided."
The Conservatives, he said, will still attempt to make the government's handling of the case an election issue.
Robert Campbell Surprise surprise Trudeau silences another with our money. Canadians see thru this and JT will realize we do in October.
Ron S. Girardau Regretfully,
Trudeau having bought off Norman, we'll never know [ in the
normal traditions of devious Canadian governments ] the truth
about the cover-up.
Aaron Lane . I
certainly hope the settlement for this upstanding servant of Canada is
far greater than the $10.5 million the LIberals gave to Omar Khadr
Chris Bowdler My Taxes again go to solve a Trudeau fiasco..
Pete Gingras This
is unbelievable. Didn't Trudeau promise complete "transparency" in his
government? Yet he uses his majority to shut down every investigation
into his dirty deeds. And now, the size of the golden handshake V-A
Norman gets is kept secret from the taxpayers stuck with the bill
(although I believe he's entitled to every cent he gets). Wow. Just wow.
Even the Khadr payoff was reported, albeit no thanks to the Trudeau
government. The question now is, does Norman's settlement prevent him
from speaking about his ordeal publicly? If so, this must become an
election issue that dogs Trudeau daily from now until October 21st.
Chance Johnstone What a disgrace!
Transparency is the last thing this government seeks. I'm also
disappointed in Norman, he said he was willing to tell his side of the
story... I guess everyone has his price. Enjoy your retirement.

Reply to @Chance Johnstone:
It's unknown at this point what his settlement forbids him from
discussing publicly (except the settlement itself). As for him "having
his price," I'd like to hear the full story from him too but his family
may just want this affair to be over. That would be certainly
understandable.

Reply to @Jamie Gillis: All good points, I agree.
Jamie Gillis No
agreements to secrecy will hide this fact: two years ago Trudeau proudly
and arrogantly told Canadians at his town halls that he knew VAdm
Norman would stand trial - before a charge was even laid. Fast forward
to today, and Trudeau is reduced to making secret deals to try spare him
further embarrassment just before an election. This case began because
Trudeau cried for blood. He's the reason Norman and his family had to go
through this nightmare and Trudeau would have happily watched it
destroy Norman if it hadn't all blown up in his face.
Jamie Gillis Comments open almost 24 hours after publishing the story...nice one CBC.
Nobody should be surprised at this outcome. Short of ousting the guy
currently in his old job, there are very few positions for a
vice-admiral. Trudeau and his mob better be thanking their lucky stars
Norman was willing to settle quietly. But after what he and his family
have been through, I can't blame him for wanting a discrete conclusion
to all this. Still I hope he'll be at liberty to tell his story as he
initially said he wanted to do
