Thank you my friend COL (Join to see) for making us aware that Lieutenant General Mike Rouleau who is Canadian military's second-in-command has resigned after playing golf with the country's former defence chief, General Jonathan Vance to play golf "to ensure his wellness".
"n his former role, Lt Gen Rouleau had authority over military investigators looking at the case against Gen Vance.
Lt Gen Rouleau said the pair did not discuss details of the investigation.
But he admitted that his decision had "intensified recent events and contributed to further erosion of trust" in the military.
Gen Vance, who retired in January, has denied the sexual misconduct claims made against him.
News about the golf game broke last weekend in local news outlets The Globe and Mail and Global News.
In a letter, Lt Gen Rouleau acknowledged that, on 2 June, he played golf in Ottawa with Gen Vance and the commander of the Canadian navy, Vice Admiral Craig Baines."
Hopefully considered innocent until proven guilt applies.

He was in Special Forces General. Retirement is generally about 55 years old for Canadian officers so it was about time anyway even if you didn't go to the golf game.

Gen Vance is facing allegations of misconduct against army Major Kellie Brennan and another unidentified woman. Military police are looking at whether his relationship with Maj Brennan, one of his former subordinates, broke military regulations.
Earlier this year Maj Brennan delivered a bombshell testimony to a parliamentary committee. She alleged that the general considered himself "untouchable", and that he fathered two of her children but did not support them.
