CANADA – Soldier “drag queen bingo” and critical race theory in the Canadian Armed Forces
Internal communications from the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) reveal a military increasingly preoccupied with concepts like equity, critical race theory (CRT) and gender ideology.
Instances range from a “drag queen bingo” event for CAF members, instructions to root out right-wing political opinions and claims that soldiers were encouraged to read anti-racist literature like Robin Diangelo’s book White Fragility.
A CAF member who asked to remain anonymous over fears of reprisal shared with True North multiple emails and documents sent out to military personnel, revealing material chock-full of woke ideology.
The anonymous source told True North that soldiers had to sit through “CRT sessions we all had to endure and book recommendations from high ranking people,” with titles including “Robin Diangelo’s White Fragility and books by Ibram X. Kendi.”
