(LifeSiteNews) — The Canadian Armed Forces intends to move ahead with plans to discharge soldiers who chose to remain unvaccinated even though COVID-19 vaccine mandates have been dropped for most members of the military.
In an interview with the Canadian Press, defence chief Wayne Eyre said the refusal to get vaccinated “raises questions about your suitability to serve in uniform.”
“It’s dangerous in the military to have legal orders disobeyed,” he said. “It’s a very slippery slope.”
According to CTV News, vaccination requirements for new enlistees as well as the mandate for most current members of the Canadian military were dropped last Friday. Requirements will now only apply to those with specific roles in the military, such as special forces and quick-response teams. However, despite the relaxed requirements, the military still plans to release members who failed to comply to the previous vaccine mandate.
“We want members in the Armed Forces who will follow lawful orders and put the safety and security of others first,” Eyre said, “who will embrace that selfless service and the values that are inherent in wearing this uniform and serving our country.”
