#4> A military investigation determined what the Canadian Forces public affairs leadership was doing was “incompatible with Government of Canada Communications Policy (and the) mission and principles of Public Affairs.”
I would hope that deploying the military against your own citizens is against more than just an executive branch policy that can be changed at any moment.

#6Not really surprising.
The current leader's family has always maintained close personal ties to dictatorships, such as the Castro family. [0] [1]
The father even went as far as to "suspend constitutional rights" (apparently that's a thing over there) for dubious reasons back in the 70's.

I wonder if that statement will stand the test of time (and declassification).

You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.
The War Measures Act [0] is a law that grants government powers in times of war or insurrection. There was, you guess it, an insurrection in the 70s [1] and the it was appropriately triggered.
Also the whole article describes an operation that even senior military commanders were unaware of — what possible connection could there be to the PM?
Pure dumb speculation.
