TORONTO — Separate allegations of sexual misconduct by Gen. Jonathan Vance, Canada's recently retiredformer chief of the defense staff, Adm. Art McDonald, his successor, and other top military officials are rocking the country's armed forces.
The allegations against Canada's most senior military officers - the equivalent of the U.S. chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - are being investigated by a parliamentary committee and the military police. They're also renewing criticism about the military's efforts to eliminate a long-standing problem, and raising questions about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's commitment to rooting out sexual harassment in federal institutions.
