Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group, Canada's top soldier says

On June 27, military police in Ottawa reopened an investigation into the Canadian Army’s 'Blue Hackle Mafia' Facebook group for sharing 'abhorrent' racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and antisemitic content.
Complaints about the 'Blue Hackle Mafia' group emerged last December, involving racist and extremist posts, prompting a military police probe now reopened on June 27.
The Canadian Army's investigation confirms the group's posts contained racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and antisemitic images, with Wright calling the content 'abhorrent' and the probe ongoing.
Wright ordered all Canadian Army members to cease participation, warning of potential disciplinary action for those involved.
The Canadian Army’s investigation into extremist Facebook content, reopened June 27, reflects ongoing challenges identified by 2021 NSIRA and 2022 panels regarding rising white nationalism and detection issues in the military.
