Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan has apologized to Canadian, American and Afghan troops that he served with in Afghanistan for claiming that he was the “architect” of Canada’s most famous and bloodiest combat operation of that war.
The minister made the claim in a speech last week in India.
Not just last week.
Sajjan made false claim he was “architect of OP MEDUSA” as early as July 2015. Video here: https://t.co/scSifzQmkA #cdnpoli

Who does he think he is – Minister of Democratic Institutions?
h/t Antenor
Par for the course for a LIE-beral…….
Total embarrassment hand picked by our part time drama teacher exposing yet again the Liberal disdain for military defense.
OUT!
To fire Harjit Sajjan would be to anger the very politically powerful Sikh community and quite probably lose a majority in the next election.
It will be explained that Sajjan “misspoke”.
And that will do the Canadian media just fine.
It will be explained that Sajjan “misspoke”.
Why not? That sort of thing worked for Hillary “We landed under sniper fire in Sarajevo” Clinton, didn’t it?
The only reason this guy was made defence sec was because he is Sikh.He will have to be become extremely radioactive for lil potato to give him the boot.
Well I always wondered why so many people call Justy, “Zoolander” . Tonight the dopey show Zoolander was on so I watched. Justy should change his name to Derek, its uncanny how close these imbeciles are, one acting the other one unfortunately driving a great country into the ground. Here with this flake defence minister, is another example of the sheer stupidity this boy has a firm grasp of. Thank you CBC and moronic voters, be proud, you’ve elected Zoolander as PM, what an accomplishment.
While Bev Oda gets pilloried for not automatically approving funding for a leftist group as she was perfectly entitled to do. How many weeks did Parliament spend on “who wrote the NOT?” Canadian media is very hypocritical.
Because it’s 2015!
Professionalism = lying through your teeth.
Thank the media for getting these guy elected, and thank them for protecting the liars.
Is anything he says true?
Trump is correct, the media are the enemy.
Another Liberal bullshit artist? I’m shocked… shocked this story even came out. Time to give the lying prick an award… You gotta feel for the Media, it must kill them to have to report on lying Liberals. Thankfully for the Media they’ve already forgotten this story just like they forgot about Dumb Juthtin telling the story of how his Family is a above the law or how Juthtin “admires basic dictatorships”, just like they would have fprgotten had PM Harper said he admired dictatorships. If only the Media had a Mike Duffy to lynch, or some other non Librano, you know, to keep up their morale while they’re on vacation until 2019 or at least until the Cons pick a leader.
When a Lieberal lies it’s called “missspoke”.
When a Conservative “misspeaks” it’s called a lie.
When the media lies it’s called “the news”.

Has anyone noticed the P.M. Justin Trudeau has yet to decide where in the
sandbox or jungles of Africa to send a contingent of Canadian “PeaceKeepers”?
No place is safe, there is no peace to keep and it isnt’ going to be cheap,
not in blood, nor treasure.
Then again with Justin Trudeau’s Open Border invitation for wandering across the border, whether criminal(already 50 percent by CBSA Services Union) or Islamist jihadi terrorists…
Maybe, stationing Canadian Peacekeepers at home might work as the number of jihadis granted temporary asylum is unknown and will be until Canadian blood is spilled all over … the M-103 anti-Islamophobia written motion Liberals and NDP passed.
Sajan probably read “Flashman” once too often.
Amateur hour. Yet. Again.
Sajjan was more effective in camo and Oakley’s
Not the first time, is it?
Get your lyin’ white arse out of here, Hap Shaughnessy – high time a liar of colour takes your place.
But I have a funny feeling that there will be no poking fun at Stretch Sajjan by the brave crew at 22 minutes. And Mary Walsh won’t be waiting outside his door with sword and cameras.
the liberal way, no matter what your cultural background is.
It’s a whopper, outrageous, embarrassing, he should resign but that will not happen. He must have had a momentary flash, delusion of grandeur and just spewed it out.
He’s just doing what comes naturally for people like him. Perfect fit for the Liberals
Not an impulsive statement. It was written into the transcript, which makes it even more bizarre that he would think he could get away with it.
They’re all fraudsters, including the Prime Minister!
Their lives are lies!
Last night when I checked the Star and CTV news did not have anything on this lying Liberal. Surprising the CBC even had an article on him.
Trump says it now but the late Andrew Breitbart said it first.
..and remember he had to invent his own personal gas mask that was able to contend with an uncut beard, part of his Sikh religion, a religion he felt so strongly about he didn’t decide to start wearing the turban until he was an adult.
In other words just like Justin Trudeau it’s all about the pose.
If this isn’t the most obvious demonstration of the MSM lock on news in this country, nothing will. Next to complete avoidance of the topic other than small mentions, just so later, they can say they covered the story.
Is this happening because the MSM is liberal, or is it because the MSM are racists, and are choosing not to “harp on” about it because he’s Hindu and so proudly wears his turban?
There would be so much outrage if this happened in the Conservative party, the MSM themselves would be organizing protests during their broadcasts. You know like they do when they announce “protest forming at such and such streets!” They do that to aid the protesters and direct other to the correct location.
FWIW

Big deal, so the defence minister is a natural liberal.
Grandeous delusion is their hall mark, those with this type of mental illness are driven to seek power over those more competent that themselves, for your “good” of course.
After all changing the world/saving the world is so much easier than actually developing the necessary skill set to live in the real world.
All our current wanna be and elected “leaders” are legends in their own minds.
Until playtime is over and the cost of their stupidity has to be met, we will continue to have light weight posers as our politicians.
Like Ontario, let it burn..vote “Gimmee, Gimmee.
Until we establish communities of like minded people,willing to abide by the same laws and ethos, inside a defined border, we do not have civilization or country any more.
Funny you should mention Ontario…what a freaking mess. There should be a book written about it, it’s taken politics to a new low across the political spectrum. Balancing a budget while up to their eyeballs in debt and big smiles like ripples on a slop pail all around as Wynne doles out the candy.
Cheer up, as there is still hope for liberals. Frozen brains will be ‘woken up’ and placed in donor bodies by 2020, claims controversial surgeon.

Liebrals hate anything to do with national defense anyways. It’s never been their priority and having competence or good strong character in important government positions obviously isn’t either. Do they even acknowledge there’s a country with a half-baked trigger happy dictator on the other side of the pond that Canada’s technically still at war with that’s quickly developing the means to launch nukes to reach North America? I think JT and the Eternal Sunshine Band would be ecstatic if Kimmy’s minions planted mushrooms around Fort Mac and Trump’s West TX. It’s nothing windmills and solar cells can’t fix, eh? They’d rather ponder the more important issues of fixing the system to keep power permanently and directing wealth into their donor’s pockets. It’s their Swamp Thing.
He’s a Liberal. What do you expect?
Right on!
Did this happen before or after he took the initiative and invented the internet?
Sajjan is (was) a highly regarded cop and a soldier. Going into politics is the kiss of death for guys of his caliber.
WTF was he thinking?! Both for his decision to get into bed with the Liberals AND this ridiculous lie he’s gotten himself into.
What? He didn’t think anyone would notice??? His buddies at the BC Regiment must be crapping themselves (he was their Colonel).
Stolen valor. One of the most despicable things a military man would do. Despised by the forces.
Sajjan, if he had a lick of character would immediately offer his resignation. He has disgraced himself.
abtrapper has it so right that I expect next week we will hear that he has offered his resignation, or at least fallen on his kirpan. Either will do.
Captcha: SLADE (slay and blade)
h/t is not mine Kate it should go to Maz2 as he posted about it on Thursday night.
On this thread though I’d like to point out that as much as the Liberals denounce everything about America but then copy the American Democrat’s programs and policies I expect Harjit to further his career in Liberal circles just as that war hero south of the border did, a certain Mr. Kerry.

Yes, your correct to point out my mistake.
What does the Canadian media say when they think Trump has lied? Where’s the difference when a Liberal ministers lie?
Somebody please ask Murray Wood, the so called news director at CJME, he’s the classic example of “drive by media”,,,he just can’t help taking a shot at Trump any chance his name comes up.
The same reason why Mary Dawson withdrew from the ethics inquiry against PM Hair-Boy.

These are fun:
http://toework.in/10-dangerous-rituals-that-still-exist-in-india-youll-get-chills-reading-these/
Having spent allot of time in India witnessing a few of these “rituals” and several others not listed here, I just knew we should be importing as many millions as we can into Canada to enrich us. Saves both travel time and money to just live it instead of finding out firsthand beforehand – I know I’m “enriched”/
Just curious … does your Defense Minister know that he should never carry a Kirpan to a gun fight ? Let alone, chemical weapon fight ? But I suppose he ignores all such suggestions from people of lower Castes than his exulted Lieberal Caste.
We now know he is a LIAR … NO SURPRISE … THEREFORE WE CANNOT TRUST HIM OR BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS. He must resign.
If nothing else, how does he command the respect for our forces? He has to go.
Destroying government credibility one minister after another. I was very surprised that CBC ran this story on the National.
I would not get that excited about his fumbled touching up of his resume.
I can easily think of an example or two of someone who rose higher and was multiple orders of magnitude worse.
Sgt. There maybe others who have shook off deceptions of great magnitude but what Sajjan did is the military equivalent of a mortal sin. He broke the code. The rank and file will never forgive.
He has to go.
In order to save the relationship between the military and the minister bongo has to deep six Sajjan.
Sajjan lost me when I saw in a documentary about Op Medusa, where this reserve LCol dissed the military leadership on Op Medusa:
“A lot of those villages and tribes in those areas had already become so disenfranchised with their own local government that they returned to the Taliban. The corruption fuelled the insurgency. We arrived at a time when recruitment was well under way,” said Sajjin.”
“What ended up happening was we didn’t look at the root cause that caused this whole issue, so the population went back to supporting the Taliban, and the Taliban came with even great resurgence.”
“Because they said, ‘See, you thought they were going to help you, they didn’t again did they?’ ”
In 2013, the day after the Boston Marathon terrorist bombing that killed three and injured hundreds, Trudeau was pilloried for saying, “We have to look at the root causes” of the attack.”
“There is no question that this happened because there is someone who feels completely excluded; completely at war with innocents, at war with a society. And our approach has to be, where do those tensions come from?” Trudeau said.”
During the election, the Conservatives mocked Trudeau’s comments, suggesting he was soft on terror.”
No wonder Ken doll made him his MND.
So he was against it before he was for it and had nothing to do with it’s failure and everything to do with its success; well not really.

Interesting. Half a world away native tribes from the North American Plains practiced the Sun Dance ritual which involved piercing the body but those damn white devils put a stop to it.
