This is normal. The CAF doesn't run out to tell the press when members are hurt while deployed. The first priority is making sure they are okay. The second priority is informing the family. Close behind that is passing it up the government for any policy decisions (should they be pulled out). Informing the public comes after all that has been done.
Idk if this was talked on here before. I don’t see any Conservatives or Canadians advocating for Canadian provinces to have their own criminal statutes or laws? like what the U.S. has in their states. I’m sure this wasn’t talked about since 1867.
