Jewish groups and politicians are calling on the Canadian military to do more than just impose a $3,000 fine and severe reprimand on a soldier who made “disgusting” antisemitic comments during a training course he led at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa in 2021. The court martial judgement was handed down in the fall of 2022, but it's just come to light now. It involved a 20+ year veteran soldier with the Royal Canadian Regiment named Sgt. K.E. Bluemke. He pleaded guilty to violating Canadian military law and was ordered to undergo counselling, and served a year on probation, while continuing his career in the army. But Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Ed Fitch, who helped investigate systemic racism in the Canadian military, is pleased with the outcome of the court martial. Fitch, who retired as the highest ranking Jewish officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, believes the fact that this case went so far actually signals a major positive change in how the military deals with antisemitism in the ranks. Fitch joins _The CJN Daily _to explain why. What we talked about Read the court martial decision against Bluemke for antisemitism Why the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center demanded the penalty be revised Learn more about the Department of National Defence study of racism and discrimination, led in part by Fitch, in The CJN Credits The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

The Canadian contingent would find themselves right in the thick of things as they were put into action against the Boers in early 1900.

Jody Mitic is a Canadian gem! He's a best selling author, podcaster, former Ottawa city councillor, finalist on the Amazing Race Canada and veteran sniper of the Afghan War.  His time in Afghanistan, as a sniper, ended with him having a bad day at work and losing his legs due to an IED strike that changed his life forever.  During his recovery, he decided to get after it and set the example to show that Canada's young veterans have something to say and are going to take our rightful place in Canadian society.  Today we chatted about his early career in the Royal Canadian Regiment, his injury and how it has impacted him, casual drug use and taking pictures of a salami with the James Webb telescope.  Find his book, Unflinching, here.

Dr. Homer Tien is a trauma surgeon at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. We were so excited to have him on the show because of the incredible work that he has done in multiple leadership roles, more recently as the president and CEO of ornge, Ontario's air ambulance and transport service. Largely because of the amazing work he had done with ornge, Dr. Tien was also made in charge of the COVID19 vaccine distribution task force back in April 2021. This was a conversation about trauma care, paramedic services, and air ambulances, but even more importantly, we got to hear Dr. Tien's insights on leadership. Links: 1.
