Canada

That's sick. That's not a reason to withhold an apology.

Well, congradulations. You're now getting more media coverage anyway, and it makes you look worse than apologizing ever would have.

But, after Adams filed a formal complaint about the assault, she was told in writing by a vice-president at CFMWS that she should have realized she would face such dangers when accepting a job supporting Canada’s military mission in Latvia.

So, she "should have known what she was getting herself into"? And they put that in writing it seems.

Months after the assault, Adams wrote to Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre and other senior military leaders asking for help. Adams said she didn’t receive a reply from Eyre.

I'm shocked, shocked I say! /s

Instead, the DND records indicate that military and department officials were more concerned about whether other news media outlets would pick up on the Ottawa Citizen articles about the incident.

I really hope the Ottawa Citizen alerts all the other media outlets about this - repeatedly!

Shortly after the assault, Adams’ contract was ended two months early by CFMWS. That decision was made “in order to ensure there is no further risk to your health,” according to a Feb. 3 2023 letter sent to Adams by the organization. CFMWS gave her $11,833, which paid her out for the early termination of her contract.

Captain Obvious knows the proper way to handle this is to fire the victim (shows they are "good" business people). But we paid out the contract so it's totally fine. /s

Sounds like our neighbors to the north are stealing the US militaries playbook on sexual assault. Worst thing they could do 😭.
