(a) attempts, for a traitorous or mutinous purpose, to seduce a member of the Canadian Forces from his duty and allegiance to Her Majesty, or
(b) attempts to incite or to induce a member of the Canadian Forces to commit a traitorous or mutinous act,
is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years.
Like it or not, he's literally guilty of sect 81(a) and 81(b) of the National Defence Act, and sect 53 of the criminal code. Unless he can prove it was unlawful for the military to order those troops to help with vaccine distribution, which he won't.
He isn't being charged for "refusing an illegal, untested drug", he's being charged for inciting service members to disobey a lawful command to help distribute the vaccines.
Nobody was ordered to take an untested drug. That's not why he was charged.
This guy encouraged troops to refuse orders to help distribute vaccines, and there's nothing unlawful about helping distribute vaccines.
The very first sentence in your own article:
A soldier who called on his fellow military personnel to refuse helping with the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines has been charged with an offence related to mutiny.
And if reading the article is too much to ask, then from your own submission title:
called on troops to refuse vaccine distribution
THAT's why he was charged. It had nothing to with anyone being ordered to take a vaccine. Stop being crazy.
To me, that makes it even more sad that is it legally considered mutiny to ask people to think for themselves and make the choice that's best for them.
Except that's not what he did. He encouraged soldiers to disobey lawful commands. You can't do that.
That is the furthest thing from mutiny.

So exactly what part of refusing an illegal, untested drug is mutiny?
Are you for real?
He isn't being charged for "refusing an illegal, untested drug", he's being charged for inciting service members to disobey a lawful command to help distribute the vaccines.
What "lawful command" would that be?
No he is not guilty of anything other than defending his rights.
One is required to refuse unlawful orders.
I was taught that on Day One in the CF.
Any order to take any untested drug is NOT a lawful order.
Nobody was ordered to take an untested drug. That's not why he was charged.
This guy encouraged troops to refuse orders to help distribute vaccines, and there's nothing unlawful about helping distribute vaccines.

That is an entirely different argument.
Thanks for playing.
If this is how you react to simple facts, then it means you're a crazy person. You know that, right?
Well, those arent facts they are definitions. You need to eat a Nuremburger.
Except that's not what he did. He encouraged soldiers to disobey lawful commands. You can't do that.
