The Canadian Military Police is investigating after a 2023 video emerged that they say shows five serving members at an event where other individuals performed a Nazi salute. The members are Quebec-based.
“On August 6, 2025, I was notified of a video containing hateful conduct involving members of the Canadian Army. I am deeply disturbed and profoundly disappointed with the content of the video — the behaviour is completely unacceptable, and swift action will be taken,” said Lieutenant-General Michael Wright, Commander of the Canadian Army, in a statement to CityNews.
Within hours of the video being shared, the army said the matter was referred to military police and five individuals were later identified as serving members — but they did not specify if they are regular or reserve forces
