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."

January 13, 2015 This Is Just AS Relevant Now As When I wrote It During The Debate
December 8, 2014 Why Canada Stood Tall!
Friday, October 3, 2014 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

I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that your old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is interesting though

"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. "

Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment policing in Petitcodiac, NB.
It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

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.
Jamie Gillis
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.
Chance Johnstone
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
