Gen. Rick Hillier says Canada faces ‘death by a thousand cuts’

The Canadian Victoria Cross has never been awarded in its 31 years of existence. Gen. Rick Hillier aims to change that, and he joins Brian to discuss the new “Heroes Among Us” project launching with Postmedia - and his worries about the general state of our military, and our nation, today. Hillier lays out in stark detail how Canada’s world stature has sunk from its former greatness, why we’re a “parasite on defence,” why the army is “essentially broken,” and why Ottawa’s new defence policy doesn’t reassure him in the least. He also talks about why he thinks Canada is being divided by leaders whose job it should be to unite us. (Recorded April 12, 2024)

Real Soldiers don't care about medals; all they care about is the much more valuable respect of their peers.

The problem with a Canadian Victoria Cross, is the politicians will want to award it to Greta Thunberg. Also why don’t more people know about Canon Frederick Scott, padre of the 1st Division during WW 1. He wrote down his experiences in “The Great War as I saw it”. Pick up a copy, the man was in the front line from the get go, finally bring seriously wounded at Cambrai 1918.

When you've worked in all male environments that are vastly secular, I would estimate that somewhere between ten to thirty percent are on board with Hijab and that Shia sect whose Imams pimp out temporary marriages.
During break time, conversations happen that leave the impression of confronting porn when you hear all about the sexual shenanigans they share with each other.
They're tougher places to evangelize than Speaker's Corner.

Hillier needs to go away and retire somewhere. He started the decline of the forces as a wannabe American.
