Except the fundamental principle remains: The military must stay out of politics. Every time a soldier participates in a pride parade in uniform, they're violating that principle. Someone ought to restore order to the CAF. They can do it in the first year of their term (to minimize impact on the next election), and provide ample explanation to the public why the military can't be getting involved in politics.
Edit: Oh and bring back the death penalty for mutiny. That'll solve the question of what to do with the members who decide to disobey in collective defiance of elected government in furtherance of their own radical political agendas.
Too late buddy. As said, banning military members for marching in uniform in pride parades would be seen as politicizing it nowadays. Harper opened the door and now it's wide open. Well, it's not only wide open. There isn't a door anymore and thus can't be closed.
And talking about bringing back the death penalty or even banning the military for waving pride flags is nothing more than wishful thinking. Bernier has a higher chance of being the next PM.
