Retired lt.-gen. Michel Maisonneuve is heavily decorated, after serving 35 years in the Canadian Armed Forces. Then he gave a speech, while accepting the Vimy Award for his “outstanding contribution” to defending Canada and democratic values, where he criticized cancel culture, statue topplers, our weakened military and damaging climate policies, while saluting personal responsibility and urging Canada to become a serious country again.
Since then, he has been attacked and forced to resign from various groups. Maisonneuve joins guest host Brian Lilley to discuss his speech, the fallout, why he believes Canada is no longer meeting its potential and how we can achieve greatness again.
