Canada’s #JAGCAF ignores questions about military lawyers secret (solicitor-client privilege) letters about military members that destroy members' careers. These letters are exempt from the Privacy Act, the Ombudsman and Access to Info, and violate the presumption of innocence.

Can we finally stop talking about "ethnic Russians" in Ukraine?
