The media makes everybody a "Top Officer" or an "Officer", even Warrant Officers. I assume it's mostly ignorance and sensationalism, most Canadians don't know the difference between a Corporal and a Admiral. Which makes it convenient for Lance-Corporals trying to impress girls to get laid.
Different people. Lt.-Gen. Frances Allen is the Vice Chief of the Defence Staff.
The article is about Lt.-Col. Eleanor Taylor who seems to have had a very distinguished career.
When the headline read "top female officer" I also assumed it referred to Allen. Deceptive headline imo.
