Systemic racism is rampant throughout the Canadian Forces, “repulsing” new recruits and putting at risk the country’s national security if jobs continue to go unfilled, according to a bombshell report.

Defence Minister Anita Anand released the highly-anticipated report Monday morning that takes the military to task for not doing enough to address racism in the ranks over the past two decades.

In stark terms, the report probing racism in the Canadian military lays out the rationale for why fixing the “toxic” environment goes to the heart of the military’s ability to do the crucial jobs entrusted to it.

As part of that, the report says military brass must accept that some members will either leave, or need to be removed.

“Racism in Canada is not a glitch in the system; it is the system,” reads the report by the Minister of National Defence’s Advisory Panel on Systemic Racism and Discrimination.

The report is the result of a yearlong review by a panel of retired Canadian Armed Forces members tasked with identifying ways to address hate, racism and discrimination in the ranks.
